Abstract :
The major challenges facing the COntrol, Data Access and Communication system (CODAC) for ITER have been identified. Workable approaches to many of these challenges have been developed over the last two years and no specific technical problem appears to be missing an adequate technical solution. The major challenge not demonstrated is for the facility availability not to be significantly reduced by CODAC. The conceptual CODAC design is in the process of being reviewed in 2007, to open the way for a preliminary design.
