Status of FASTBUS in Europe

At the same time as the FSDG (Fast System Design Group) started its work in the USA, the ESONE Committee set up the ASSG (Advanced System Study Group) in Europe. The ASSG followed closely the work of the FSDG. The ASSG meets about three times a year to coordinate the development effort in European laboratories. Active work has started now throughout Europe, especially at CERN where a number of system modules are under development. Further, a one crate pilot system for use in a physics experiment is near completion. The status of this work will be summarized
