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,

Adding an additional project cost and lifetime numbers for small "customers"... in South Korea,

[1] KSTAR (Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) uses EPICS as the base for its control system. Its estimated life span : 2007 - 2025, and the construction cost was about 400,000 million KRW. (please, drop 10^3 to compare with USD one naively.)

[2] RISP (Rare Isotope Science Project) uses EPICS as the base and the entire software infrastructures for its control system. Its estimated project life span after 2021 is +10 years. The estimated project cost with construction may be more than 1,200 billion KRW.

Thanks,
Han
