Speaker:
Andre Augustinus
The Delphi experiment is one of the four experiments on the LEP accelerator at
CERN. It started its operation in august 1989 and the Experiment Control
System has been evolving constantly since.
We will describe the evolution from a system with almost completely separated
components (data acquisition, slow-controls, trigger, ... ) to a fully
integrated Experiment Control System. Explain how this was possible by taking
advantage of new technologies in various domains, gain of expertise and a
better understanding of the behaviour of the components. We will highlight
the main reasons for this evolution, and the boundary conditions that made
this possible.
We will extract some lessons that we have learned in the evolution and the
operation of the system over this lapse of time and should be retained for
the design of Experiment Control Systems for future big HEP experiments.
