Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Was anyone around before EPICS was created?
What was life as a control system engineer?
Were labs all creating their respective control system?
What was the impact of EPICS on this development process?
What are other control systems used (particularly in the US)?
Why do you think they didn't switch to EPICS?
Should EPICS be the sole and uncontested software/framework for accelerators?
why or why not?
What about high-level software?
CSS, medm, edm, matlab, Qt... (labview, other?)
Which one do you use, why and which one would you like to use?
Should we all converge to CSS, another? Why or why not?
