Abstract
In line with our group's intention of producing software using, where possible, Object-Oriented methodologies and techniques in the developm ent of RF control systems, we have undertaken three projects to enhanc e the EPICS software environment. Two of the projects involve interfac es to EPICs Channel Access from Object-Oriented languages. The third i s an enhancement to the EPICS State Notation Language to better suppor t the Shlaer-Mellor Object-Oriented Analysis and Design Methodology. T his paper discusses the motivation, approaches, results and future dir ections of these three projects.
