    "abstract": "Building an accelerator at six geographically dispersed sites is quite mad,\nbut politically expedient. The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), currently under\nconstruction in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, combines a pulsed 1 Gev H-\nsuperconducting linac with a compressor ring to deliver 2MW of beam power to a\nliquid mercury target for neutron production [1]. Accelerator components,\ntarget and experimental (neutron-scattering) instruments are being developed\ncollaboratively by Lawrence Berkeley (Ion Source and Front End), Los Alamos\n(Linac), Thomas Jefferson (Cryosystems), Brookhaven (Compressor Ring), Oak\nRidge (Target and Conventional Facilities) and Argonne (Neutron Scattering\nInstruments) National Laboratories. Similarly, a team distributed among all of\nthe participating laboratories is developing the EPICS-based control system.\nThis paper discusses the management model and strategies being used to address\nthe unusual issues of organization, communication, standardization, integration\nand hand-off inherent in this widely-distributed project.",
