Alma Common Software

Compare

  Analyzed about 11 hours ago

The ALMA Common Software (ACS) provides a software infrastructure common to all partners and consists of a documented collection of common patterns in and of components, which implement those patterns. The heart of ACS is an object model based on Distributed Objects (DOs), implemented as CORBA ... [More] objects. The teams responsible for the control system's development use DOs as the basis for components and devices such as an antenna mount control. ACS provides common CORBA-based services such as logging, error and alarm management, configuration database and lifecycle management. A code generator can create a Java Bean for each DO and programmers can write Java client applications by connecting those Beans with data-manipulation and visualization Beans. [Less]
