Abstract :
The Eiffel object-oriented language has been selected for the design and implementation of the run control portion in the CEBAF (Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility) data acquisition system. The OSF/Motif graphical user interface toolkit and DataViews process control system have been incorporated into this framework. A discussion is presented of the evaluation process, the status of the implementation, and the lessons learned, particularly in the use of object-oriented techniques
