The session description abstracts are shown below. When you register for the workshop, you will be given an opportunity to contribute an oral presentation or poster covering one or more of the session topics. Submitted abstracts will be forwarded to the appropriate session chair.
The talks of this session should answer the following questions:
- In your Institute, what is the trade-off between operator manual actions and automation?
- How can you maintain the skills and motivation of your operators if on the other hand, all (or almost) is done by automatic sequencers?
- When you decide to create some more automation, do you involve your operators in the specifications? Do the operators write sequencers themselves?
- How can you still control what is going on in an automatic sequence?
- Based on your experience of 'automating' everything, what would be your recommendations to the operation managers who still hesitate to make the step?
- What are the mistakes you will not do anymore?
- What are the feedbacks from your operators?
Developers provided many solutions for document control over the years. Which document control system do you use and why? What is the overhead associated with the document control of your choice?
