  abstract     = {In the SPring-8 upgrade project, we plan to use the linear accelerator of SACLA as a full-energy injector to the storage ring. For the purpose of simultaneous operation of XFEL lasing and on-demand injection, we developed a new control framework that inherits the concepts of MADOCA. We plan to use the same control framework for a 3 GeV light source under construction at Tohoku, Japan. Messaging of the new control system is based on the MQTT protocol, which enables slow control and data acquisition with sub-second response time. The data acquisition framework, named MDAQ, covers both periodic polling and event-synchronizing data. To ensure scalability, we applied a key-value storage scheme, Apache Cassandra, to the logging database of the MDAQ. We also developed a new parameter database scheme, that handles operational parameter sets for XFEL lasing and on-demand top-up injection. These parameter sets are combined into 60 Hz operation patterns. For the top-up injection, we can select the operational pattern every second on an on-demand basis. In this paper, we report an overview of the new control system and the preliminary results of the integrated operation of SACLA and SPring-8.},
