Scope
The first HeDiSC
Workshop on Open Source Software for Control Systems to be held
at Lugano,
Switzerland, June 30th - July 1st
2009 will focus on the use and development of free open
source software
(FOSS) for control systems. The main objective of this
workshop is twofold: on one hand it will provide a forum for developers
of software for control systems from Europe and Latin America to
discuss and compare different design and implementation techniques,
and, on the other hand, it will promote the use of FOSS for control
systems providing tutorials and introductory presentations explaining
their benefits. Accordingly, participants will be aware of the state
of the art in the design of FOSS for control systems and will receive
hands-on training regarding the installation and use of these kind of
software.
Topics
The following free open source software (FOSS) projects will be presented and discussed:| Scilab/Scicos | Numerical computing enviroment. |
| RTAI / RTAI-Lab | Extension of Linux to add real-time operating capabilities. |
| Comedi | Project that develops open source device drivers, tools, and libraries for data acquisition. |
| CANOpen | Communication protocol and device profile specification for embedded systems used in automation control. |
| EMSO/EML | A generic dynamic simulation engine and a library of models for process engineering. |
| Easy Java Simulation | Enviroment to create interactive simulations in Java. |
| Maxima | Computer algebra system that allows symbolic computations. |
