Until recently this goal was seldom realized in practice. This has been primarily because the various control systems have been developed inhouse with little standardization among them. The world of accelerators was dominated until a few years ago by very large machines constructed for doing high energy physics. The large laboratories could likewise afford large controls groups, which were able to build these complete systems from the ground up. However the accelerator scene has now shifted, with a large fraction of the new work being done at much smaller installations, installations which cannot afford the large staffs previously employed in control system production. Different approaches to this problem were outlined in the discussion.}}, }
