description, and handling analytical and run-time data within the architecture. As the research and prototyping of the architecture continue, the results will be specified into a staged process. This staged approach will ultimately deliver a complete set of specifications for an architecture to facilitate and foster the adoption of automated analytical laboratory systems.

We would like to acknowledge all the participants in the CAALS Modularity Workshops held since August 1990. Workshop participants are drawn largely from the member organizations of CAALS, supplemented by presentations from leaders in the disciplines of auto-

mated systems and standards development. The creative energies of all participants contributed to the formation of the modularity architecture. References (1) Kingston, H. M. Anal.
