ABSTRACT

Equipment for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accelerator and experiments comes from many sources and will have a life-cycle of 15-20 years. It is therefore essential to keep track of designs and documentation throughout the lifetime of the LHC. To address these needs, CERN has introduced an Engineering Data Management System (EDMS). Work is now under way to use EDMS also for electronics designs. The seminar will describe the problems related to archiving of electronics design data. This will be followed by a brief introduction to the CERN EDMS CADIM/EDB. Furthermore the pilot project with an interface between Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools and EDMS is presented.

Finally there will be demo of how to access the data stored in EDMS via the Web and an outline of the next steps. After the seminar there will be a short demo of the EDA-EDMS interface for those who are interested.
