The previous ACS workshop has been at the ICALEPCS conference in 2005.
We have organized a new workshop, associated with basic and advanced training sessions.
With this Workshop we wanted to get together the ACS development teams and all ACS current and potential users.
The workshop had two tracks:

(*) ACS is developed for the astronomical ALMA Project (while being a fully general framework for control and non-control applications). ACS is the result of a collaborative effort among the European Southern Observatory (ESO) (main partner- 4 FTE/year), National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), Socorro(1 FTE/year), Astronomical Observatory of Trieste (INAF-AOTs) (~1 FTE/year) and Cosylab Lmt. (~1 FTE/year). These Institutes share the intellectual property of ACS, which is freely available under the GNU LGPL public license (compatible with the use of commercial products, like ZLegacy/ACS.VxWorks). ACS is based on an initial kernel of software provided by JSI/Cosylab, which includes ABeans and has been in use on the ANKA accelerator, Germany. The present Release of ACS is used at about 20 Institutes and installed on something like 100 computers (See: ACS Users List).

15th - 19th of January 2007
A lot of participants, both beginners and expert ACS users, have registered for the workshop.
We had two partially parallel tracks to satisfy the needs of both groups of participants.
The first day has been the ACS Workshop, where we have given the general status about ACS and all groups and projects using ACS have presented present the status of their projects.
We had here general high level discussions about how ACS is used in the various projects and what the community of users needs from ACS.
This has been a first opportunity to compare the work done by the various projects.
After that we had 4 days where we had
The Workshop/Course has been 5 days.
The Agenda has been filled in according to the proposals of the attendees.
We have made "real time" changes to the agenda during the meeting, if interesting topics came out during the discussions.

It is the first time we have an ACS Course with an advanced track in parallel to a beginne'r track. Also in this case, please look at the agenda, while it is evolving, here:
Each presentation includes time for discussion and questions. 10 minutes for a 30m presentation, 5 min for a 15m/20m presentation.
The agenda for the two course tracks on a separate link. In this way we keep all standard ACS-Course presentations, documentation and examples in a single place under configuration control. The pages pointed by the link have been evolving in the past years at each ACS Course. During the course, the area has been updated in real time to make it possible for all course participants to always have the latest available presentations and examples.
