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

  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.
