  1. EPICS OfficeHowTo Gašper Tkačik Cosylab, Slovenia http://users.cosylab.com/~kzagar/cso/

  2. User’s viewpoint • Same L&F, common actions, data interpreted by different applications • Community knowledge (like TeX vs Word  example with colors in GUI) • Chart example - reference exchange • Scenarios: deployment, monitoring, exploration, configuration, spec. tasks Office functionality is a complement to traditional application functionality and API EPICS Workshop, SLAC, 2005-04-27

  3. User’s viewpoint Name service if available, otherwise connected stuff Define e.g. groups Components in the main view Menu NOT hardcoded Scripting access from console EPICS Workshop, SLAC, 2005-04-27

  4. EPICS Integrated Development… … and deployment environment EPICS Workshop, SLAC, 2005-04-27

  5. EPICS Office - Why now • Is there a need? • Collecting feature requests • More than ‘It would be nice’ argument? (Is there really code reuse and added value) • Is there a way? • Java • Shift towards Rich Client Platform • Collaborative tools (Sourceforge) • What is the cost? • Be afraid of the framework? EPICS Workshop, SLAC, 2005-04-27

  6. What kind of Java is brewing… Inversion-of-Control • Server side: great success of EJB, complexity • Client side: slow adoption (JVM, GUI, services, packaging) AOP OSGi a LOT of stuff Pure Java, Knoplerfish, Eclipse, Spring EPICS Workshop, SLAC, 2005-04-27

  7. Eclipse for RCP OSGi Extension: Button in the toolbar Extension point: clicking on the price Plug-in component deployed as bundle EPICS Workshop, SLAC, 2005-04-27

  8. EPICS Workshop, SLAC, 2005-04-27

  9. Conclusions • EPICS Office is possible • But we need to: • Leverage existing frameworks in a smart (= simple enough) way • Design data-exchange core well • Project management (= Office can not be a ‘hobby’ activity) • Integration of cool stuff, tools (JEDM anyone), applications (VDCT model - suggestions) http://users.cosylab.com/~kzagar/cso/ EPICS Workshop, SLAC, 2005-04-27
