Control System Studio (CS-Studio, CSS) is the result of contributions from many people:

  • First of all, CS-Studio builds heavily on Eclipse.
  • Matthias Clausen at the Deutsches Electronen Synchrotron started the CSS idea.
  • Many people from the Canadian Light Source, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, ITER and other sites have contributed either through extensions, code fixes, suggestions or bug reports. Check the @author tags in the source code to get an idea.

The sources for this book are on GitHub under https://github.com/ControlSystemStudio/cs-studio-docbook. You can download the sources via git clone https://github.com/ControlSystemStudio/cs-studio-docbook.git
