Hi folks,
who knows something about OpenSCADA?

May the project fit to our scientific working group?

Hi Philip,
very interesting but my first reaction is no, not really. OpenSCADA is a
control system toolkit. From the screenshots it seems to integrates with
Eclipse well but otherwise it is not really related to scientific data
analysis. I am part of a similar OSS project called TANGO
(https://www.tango-controls.org/) which is used in over 15 scientific
institutes in Europe. But I wouldn't consider it as part of the
Science-IWG because it deals with controls mainly (even if we use it to
trigger online data analysis too). My understanding of the Science-IWG
is that it is focused on scientific data analysis. Nothing prevents
someone from integrating OpenSCADA with a scientific data analysis
program in a common Eclipse/RCP application. On the contrary that is the
strength of Eclipse.
I would be interested in hearing other opinions too. I might be wrong ...
