2001 ICALEPCS COMES TO
SILICON VALLEY
Plan now to attend the International Conference on Accelerator and Large Experimental Physics Control Systems (ICALEPCS) to be held at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, CA from November 27 to 30, 2001. San Jose is the heart of Silicon Valley and the home of many corporations prominent in control system hardware and software development and sales. Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) is the local host organization with J.W. (Rusty) Humphrey as Conference Chair and Hamid Shoaee as Program Chair. The conference is held in technical cooperation with the IEEE NPSS as well as with the European Physical Society, the International Federation for Information Processing, and the American Physical Society.
All conference business is being handled through the conference web site. Abstract submittal will be exclusively though the web, with an April 20, 2001 deadline for receipt of abstracts. The conference web address is: http://icalepcs2001.slac.stanford.edu . The program will consist of invited and contributed talks, poster sessions and round-table discussions covering the fields of control and operation of particle accelerators, detectors, telescopes, fusion devices, nuclear reactors and other large experimental facilities. Both hardware and software aspects of control systems will be addressed. Conference registration is also handled on line through this web site.
It is hoped that there will be an outstanding commercial exhibit as part of the conference. Interested vendors should contact Centennial Conferences at icalepcs@centennialconferences.com or by phone at (303) 499-2299 or fax at (303) 499-2599. Industrial presentations and tutorials are encouraged.
There are two post-conference workshops. These are the EPICS and Automated Beam Shaping and Steering (ABS) workshops to be held December 3 and 4 at the Fairmont. Registration for these will be handled separately.
See the next Newsletter for more detail. Meanwhile, submit your abstract and plan to join us in San Jose next November!
