Alessandro Raimondo (CERN), Kris Kostro (CERN)

Recently, during the timing review, it has been proposeed that the concept of 'virtual accelerator' would not only allow to supress the telegram but it would also simplify many parts of the control system. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the benefits of the concept, the anticipated impact on the partners and the effort to implement it. The possible outcome of the meeting are: - Accept the proposal and propose a milestone plan. - Reject the proposal. - Launch a feasibility study to further detail the proposal and the impact.

10:30 → 11:30 Virtual Accelerator: benefits, impact on partners and rough work packaging

Stephane, Javier and Michel will present the presumed benefices for the CO and our partners with the impact on OP (Stephane) and equipment groups (Michel). They will also present the rough estimate for the work packages necessary for implementation.

11:30 → 12:00 Virtual Accelerator: Estimation of effort and planning

This is a discussion session in which we shall roughly estimate the impact on the existing CO components and the necessary investement. The anticipated areas are HT (timing), AP (existing and new applications), DM (configuration), FE (FESA) and possibly IN (distribution of configuration).
