Ok, I agree. I should use the term: "how widely is the technology used" (but it is still ambiguous, we can talk about number of developers, number of projects using it, cost of the projects based on it and so on, my market share question was a general term in which I wanted to know in which fields and how widely is OPC/DDS/EPICS used, I couldn't find many industrial projects based on EPICS, thus my market share rating was low).


Adding some project cost and lifetime numbers for a large "customer"...

The ITER project [1] uses EPICS as the base for its control system. (EPICS is redistributed as part of ITER's "CODAC Core System" distribution.)

Estimated project cost: 13 billion Euro
Estimated project life span: operational 2020-2040

Cheers,
