22. Using the LHC Control System – retrospective on 2016 and short term plans

Guy Crockford

This talk will discuss the LHC control system performance during 2016 operation. In retrospect, which controls facilities, if any, were missing and what could be improved? How did we perform on follow-up of requests from Evian 2015? An analysis will be made of human errors committed while interacting with the control system and possible mitigation measures. Looking forward to EYETS, the...

23. Evolving expert tools into operational software?

Delphine Jacquet

14/12/2016, 10:50

Most of the time, for the daily operation of the LHC, dedicated operational applications are used, whereas the expert have their own applications to control their equipment, do specific machine developments and studies. In some cases, these expert applications need to be used by the operation’s team, even if not really adapted. This presentation will demonstrate why this systematic split...

24. How to improve interactions with the Control System?

Stephane Deghaye

14/12/2016, 11:10

The availability of the LHC control system has been excellent in 2016 with only 0.11% of the machine unavailability attributed to Controls. Nevertheless, many other criteria can be maximised in order to improve the LHC control system and this talk focuses on the user experience. After having identified the main users, we detail some of the perceived problems, e.g. long development cycles, and...

26. Testing and deployment strategies and their impact on accelerator performance

Jean-Christophe Garnier

14/12/2016, 11:30

The Accelerator Control system is developed by the Controls Group in collaboration with numerous software developers from equipment groups to provide equipment experts and operation crews with general and specific control and supervision software. This presentation proposes a review of the different strategies applied for testing, validation and deployment of software products. The risk and...
