Title :
Modern computer networks and distributed intelligence in accelerator controls
Author_Institution :
Fermi Nat. Accel. Lab., Batavia, IL, USA
Abstract :
Appropriate hardware and software network protocols are surveyed for accelerator control environments. Accelerator control network topologies are discussed with respect to the following criteria: vertical versus horizontal and distributed versus centralized. Decision-making considerations are provided for accelerator network architecture specifications. Current trends and implementations at Fermilab are discussed.<>
