  A flexible graphic display system for controlling the KEK Photon Factory storage ring has been developed. A VME computer locally controls the graphic display system and communicates with the host control computer through a RS-232C link. Graphic pictures are prepared in the local system by an interactive operation using either a tablet or a keyboard. The host control computer is free from any load due to graphics processing. In an on-line operation, pictures are displayed and modified by simple command strings from the host computer. A "picture stack" method has been developed for this graphics system. The latest demanded picture always has top priority to be presented on each display monitor. Previous pictures are saved in a stack and can reappear when the current picture has been freed.

  Recent developments in the field of accelerator-domain and computer-domain modelling have led to a better understanding of the "art" of control system specification and design. It now appears possible to "compile" a control system specification to produce the architectural design. The information required by the "compiler" is discussed and one hardware optimization algo­rithm presented. The desired characteristics of !he hardware and software components of a distributed control system architecture are discussed and the shortcomings of some commercial products.

  In scientific organizations one often encounters the opinion that management is a trivial activity and that project managers enjoy the easy side of the project life, far away from where the real work is. However, examples abound of projects failing to meet their objectives, running behind schedule, overrunning costs, etc., because of poor management. To several aspects which are crucial for the successful completion of a project the attention they deserve has to be paid if the project is to meet its objectives within the constraints that are imposed upon it. Whereas the engineers do things, the manager gets things done; managers are particularly concerned with: # what is planned to be done: i.e. the product which should be delivered, in our case the control system, # how long will the project take: i.e. schedule, # how one will know when the project is finished: completion criteria, # how much will it cost to implement and to maintain: Le. the cost. These issues have been discussed in the panel discussion.
