14th International Conference on Accelerator & Large Experimental Physics Control Systems

October 6-11, 2013
The Hyatt Regency Embarcadero Center
San Francisco, California

The International Conference on Accelerator and Large Experimental Physics Control Systems (ICALEPCS) is a biennial series of conferences inaugurated in 1987 by a number of control system specialists from accelerator laboratories around the world.

The series of conferences is intended to:

  • Facilitate the interchange of ideas and information between control system specialists working on large experimental physics facilities around the world (accelerators, particle detectors, tokamaks, telescopes, etc.)
  • Create an archival literature of developments and progress in this rapidly changing discipline
  • Promote, where practical, standardization in both hardware and software
  • Assist colleagues from technically less developed countries in the realization of all of these goals.

Keynote, invited and contributed talks and poster presentations may cover:

  • Quality assurance
  • Project management
  • Integration of industrial devices
  • Embedded and realtime software
  • Distributed computing
  • Process control and feedback
  • Data and information management
  • Upgrade of control systems
  • Software technology evolution
  • Hardware
  • Security and safety
  • Infrastructure management and diagnostics
  • Operational tools and operators' view
