                 International Workshop on 
                DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEMS for NEUTRON
                EXPERIMENTAL FACILITIES (DANEF'2000)
----------------------------------------------------------------

The Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics of the Joint Institute
for Nuclear Research is organizing the Second International
Workshop on Data Acquisition Systems for Neutron
Experimental Facilities DANEF'2000
(see DANEF'97 at http://nfdfn.jinr.ru/DANEF-97/) to be held in
Dubna, Russia from June 5 to 7, 2000. The aim of the Workshop is
to provide a forum for the discussion of different aspects of
development of the data acquisition systems, including
electronics and software.
We want to bring together scientists and engeneers working on
the field of neutron instrumentation and sample environement to
establish closer contacts to solve common problems. 

Topics:

       Front End Electronics 
              Preamplifiers, shapers, multiplexers,
              discriminators, etc., for different types of
              neutron detectors 
              ADC, TDC 
              Digital signal processing 
              Overview of commercially available electronics 
       Instrument and Sample Environment Control Systems 
              Motor and position control 
              Temperature and other controllers 
              Fast neutron choppers and velocity selectors 
       Data Acquisition Electronics 
              Strategies and overall system design 
              Future technologies 
              Time-of-flight analysis 
              Correlation analysis 
              Multiparameter data registration and accumulation 
       Management of Instrumentation and Data Acquisition
       Projects 
       Software 
              Software for Instrument Control & Data Acquisition
              Systems 
              Scientific Data Analysis and Visualization
              Software 
              Distributed Instrument Control Systems 
       Use of Various Operating Systems and Hardware Standarts 
       Overview of Data Acquisition Techniques for Synchrotron
       Radiation Facilities 


The following types of presentations are proposed: invited
