2.    AreaDetector 2D Framework - (N.Rees)

3.    Distributed Fast Acquisitions systems for Multi Detectors experiments (A. Buteau)
Discussion: A 2d detector API for suppliers of detectors for synchrotrons. Can the same API be used for 1d detectors?
                                                           

10:40 High Data Throughput – Andy Götz (Chairman)

1.    ESRF – High Data Throughput Detectors (A.Homs)

2.    DIAMOND - Networks/computing - (N.Rees)

3.    SLS beamline infrastructure - (H.Billich)
"Data acquisition at high data rates with 2d-Detectors: Storage, network, compute nodes - What did work for Pilatus? What will future detectors need?

4.    Past Present Future -  PILATUS - (M.Kobas)
Discussion : What is the ideal infrastructure solution for high data throughput ? Will this satisfy future needs ?
 

14:00 Hardware Synchronisation - Laurent Claustre (Chairman)

Discussion : How to synchronize experiments
 

16:00 Middleware - Laurent Claustre (Chairman)

  1. TANGO for non dancers - (A.Götz)
  2. asyn drivers for EPICS - (N.Rees)
    Discussion : How to share TANGO servers and EPICS drivers
     

16:30 Beamline Control Sequencer – Andy Götz (Chairman)

1.      "GDA - Creating, as a community, a customisable Java software framework to operate experiments on synchrotron facilities" (P.Gibbons) 

2.      "NOMAD: the interactive way to control experiments" (P.Mutti)

3.      "Feedback on using on a large scale basis a workflow editor (Passerelle) for automation of beamline alignment,  experimental setup and data collections" (M. Ounsy)

4.      SARDANA - (J.Klora)
Discussion : What are the requirements of a good sequencer. Are the different sequencers addressing different problems ? Can we share anything if we use different sequencers
 

14 January

1.    HDF5 / Nexus - (A.Sole)

2.    CDM - (A.Buteau)
Discussion : Is HDF5 sufficient as the only answer for the whole synchrotron community?
Do we need another layer to integrate other synchrotron data formats e.g. CDM ?
