The paper describes a usage of the XAL online model for transverse and longitudinal tuning of the SNS linac. Most of the SNS control room physics applications based on the XAL online model which allows synchronizing the model with an accelerator live state and using this model for tuning the machine. Peculiarities of applying of the simplest single particle mode of the model for orbit correction and longitudinal dynamics control of the SNS linac are discussed. The procedure of parameters finding, algorithms, and results are presented.

The focus of the Working group B was to discuss the following questions:
- Summarize the state of the art in linac simulation capabilities. What are the weaknesses? What developments are needed?
- Summarize recent developments in benchmarking experimental data with simulations. What critical experiments are needed to further refine the theory and simulations?
- Summarize the present understanding and limitations of linac beam dynamics in operating linacs.
- Summarize the primary limitations to beam intensity in existing high-intensity linear accelerators.
- Summarize the key open questions in the beam dynamics of high-intensity linacs and opportunities to advance the field.
