MOAA01	Accelerators: The Final Frontier?	1
	K. J. Peach JAI, Oxford
	Particle accelerators at the high-energy frontier are essential to the exploration of the deep structure of the material universe around us. The new technologies required to achieve the highest energies also find application in other fields of science. The lecture will discuss the scientic motivation for the development of these new accelerator technologies and the applications that might result.

MOAA02	It’s All About Time: Applying Patterns of Time Using Time Elements	4
	H. T. Martin New Affiliation Request Pending, -TBS- J. T. Truchard National Instruments Switzerland, Ennetbaden
	Diverse control and measurement applications from mobile-phone testing to process optimization to distributed sonic arrays all use one of a small set of common patterns of time. By understanding these patterns of time, the underlying time elements, and the application of time technologies, engineers and scientists can develop more precise, flexible systems with less effort and time. Time is a critical component in many control and measurement systems, yet the challenges presented by most development tools and integration options make it difficult to incorporate timing.

TOAA01	Spirit and Opportunity: The Great Surface Exploration of Mars Keeps Going	46
	J. L. Callas Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California
	For over three Earth years, two intrepid robotic explorers, Spirit and Opportunity, have been successfully conducting field geology day after day on Mars at two distinct locations on the surface. Originally designed for a 90-Martian day mission, the rovers have exceeded that requirement by a factor of 12 and show no signs of stopping. As the rovers move, each day becomes a brand new mission with new sights and new geology to explore. Both rovers have made significant discoveries in understanding the Red Planet, but great adventures still lie ahead for each rover.

WOAA01	The ILC Control System	271

	Since the last ICALEPCS, a small multi-region team has developed a reference design model for the ILC Control System as part of the ILC Global Design Effort. The scale and performance parameters of the ILC accelerator require new thinking in regards to control system design. Technical challenges include the large number of accelerator systems to be controlled, the large scale of the accelerator facility, the high degree of automation needed during accelerator operations, and control system equipment requiring “Five Nines” availability. The R&D path for high availability touches the control system hardware, software, and overall architecture, and extends beyond traditional interfaces into the accelerator technical systems. Software considerations for HA include fault detection through exhaustive out-of-band monitoring and automatic state migration to redundant systems, while the telecom industry’s emerging ATCA standard–conceived, specified, and designed for High Availability–is being evaluated for suitability for ILC front-end electronics. Parallels will be drawn with control system challenges facing the ITER CODAC team.

ROAA01	Status of the ITER CODAC Conceptual Design	481

	Since the last ICALEPCS conference, a number of issues have been studied in the conceptual design of the ITER Control, Data Access, and Communication Systems. Almost all of the technical challenges have seen workable approaches selected. The conceptual design will be reviewed in 2007, before starting the preliminary engineering design. One software component that does not have a clear solution is the execution of data-driven schedules to operate the installation at multiple levels, from daily program management to plasma feedback control. Recent developments in workflow products might be useful. The present conceptual weakness is not having found a satisfactory "universal" description of the I&C design process for the "self-description" of the 100 procured Plant Systems. A vital CODAC design feature is to operate the full plant on the basis of imported “self-description” data, which necessarily includes the process description in each Plant System. The targeted formal link between 3-D design, process design, and process control has not yet been created. Some of the strawman designs meeting the technical requirements will be mentioned in detail.

FOAA01	Automated Diagnosis of Physical Systems	701
	S. Narasimhan UARC, Moffet Field
	Automated diagnosis deals with techniques to determine the cause of any abnormal or unexpected behavior of physical systems. The key issue is that inferences have to be made from the limited sensor information available from the system. Some major categories of diagnostic technologies are rule-based systems, case-based reasoning systems, data-drive learning systems, and model-based reasoning systems among others. In this paper we will briefly introduce these categories and then focus on model-based reasoning. We will present the Hybrid Diagnosis Engine (HyDE) developed at the NASA Ames Research Center and its application to real problems.
