Description
For any large experiment with multiple sub-systems and their respective experts
spread throughout the world, real-time and near-real-time information accessible to a
wide audience is critical to efficiency and success. Large and varied amounts of
information about the current and past state of facilities and detector systems are
necessary, both for current running, and for eventual data analysis. As an example,
the STAR Control Room's internal interactions and presentation of information to the
external “offline” world will be described in brief. Conceptual network layout, types
of information exchanged and methods of information dissemination will be presented.
Focus will not be on the flow of physics data per se, but on the information about
the status and control of the experimental systems in the course of acquiring the
physics data.
