Paper: Remote Access To The Canadian Light Source

Elder Matias presented in Ljubljana, Slovenia on a joint project between Canadian Light Source, University of Western Canada, IBM Canada, and BigBangwidth.

\Abstract As part of a collaboration between the CLS, the University of Western Ontario, IBM and BigBangwidth a beamline remote access system has been demonstrated on the CLS VESPERS beamline and the alft x-ray facilities. This system utilizes web-browsers as a thin client that can be connected to servers at the CLS over conventional Ethernet or User Configuration Light Paths. The RBA system is based on the concept of a Service Oriented Architecture and provides access control, data acquisition, data storage and based visualization. More recently the system has been modified to permit experimental data to be streamed into third party analysis tools such as Quartz Imaging X-one. This system is now being extended to form the basis for ScienceStudio and integrated experiment management system.

Paper: CLS A Fully Open Source Control System

Elder Matias presented at 2005 Particle Accelerator Conference, Knoxville, Tennessee

The Canadian Light Source has adopted the use of IEC 61508 [1] SIL 3 certified equipment and associated methods in the development of safety critical software. This paper examines the successful application of industrial safety rated PLC equipment in the development of accelerator and beamline safety systems. Of specific note is the application of this technology to a biomedical beamline at the CLS.
