Title: The ALMA Common Software (ACS) as a basis for a distributed software development
Date: Friday, December 14th, 2012
Time: 15:00
Venue: Villa Bazzoni
***********************************************************
Abstract: The ALMA Common Software (ACS) is a software infrastructure for the development of distributed systems based on CORBA and implemented following the Component/Container paradigm. ACS is being developed primarily for the ALMA collaboration to provide a common and unifying infrastructure used by all partners and across all layers of the system. The usage of ACS extends from high-level applications down to the control software domain. From a system perspective, ACS provides the implementation of a set of design patterns and services that make the whole ALMA software uniform and maintainable; from the perspective of a software developer, it provides a friendly programming environment in which the complexity of the CORBA middleware and other libraries is hidden and coding is drastically reduced.
