  3. WAO – Why? • ”The objective of the workshops are to bring together people that operate accelerators and to help them exchange ideas about accelerator operation, organization, maintenance, documentation, software, control room layout, remote operation, and safety.”

  4. WAO’s so far… Is held every 2 years (America, Europe & Asia). • 1996 JLABR. Lauzè • 1998 TRIUMFN. Stevenson & R. Bloemhard • 2001 CERNR. Bailey • 2003 GUAS KEK Shin-ichi KUROKAWA • 2005 FNLR. Mau • 2007 ELLETRA Emanuel Karantzoulis • 2009 South Korea

  10. Ways of documenting Paper Electronic Classic Modern Files (.pps .doc .pdf) Manuals Logbooks Webpage, Wiki & Blog Books Voice Recordings Posters Video

  11. Control system / software development • Write specs • Choose architecture • Design • Prototype • Test / debug • Document ”OP should agree with CO before any development starts !!!” ”Software cannot be perfect – we have to live with workarounds”

  12. Reflections • Operation • Software • WIKI is HOT! • Equipment logging • Standardize applications. • Remote operation • Personel • Shift work far more common than on-call. • Clearly defined responsibilities / worktasks important. • Career plan and salary increase as your skill develop. • Training and personal development. • Operators should be given freedom under responsibility. • Hardware • PDA / Mini-PC • Webcam communication • Other • Shift handover • Statistics • Documentation

  13. My impressions • WAO Summary • Nothing revolutionary but an excellent opportunity for meeting people in the same business. • Bigger understanding of different accelerators. • We all fight similar problems. • Possibility to discuss with people you never talk to otherwise. • Open discussion sessions were useful. • Americans • Bureaucrats & strictly controlled • Love titles and career • More active in discussions and louder! • A great opportunity to eat nice food and see new places! 
