Review of the 3rd Biennial Conference on Real-Time Computer Applications in Nuclear and Particle Physics

Abstract

The community of engineers, programmers, and physicists who support data-acquisition, control, and post processing activities in nuclear and particle physics had an opportunity to meet in Berkeley on May 16-20, 1983 for the on Real-Time Computer Applications.... It was the third such conference, held every other year. In May, 1979 Dennis Perry of Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory hosted the Topical Conference on Computerized Data-Acquisition Systems in Particle and Nuclear Physics in Santa Fe. David Hensley brought the conference to Oak Ridge in May, 1981. And this year's conference underwent a name change by it's host, Creve Maples of Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, but remained very much the same in spirit and direction.
