For a complex accelerator such as the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), a transfer matrix based online model might not be sufficient for the entire machine. On the other hand, if introducing another modelling tools, physics applications have to be rewritten for all modelling tools. A platform which can host multiple modelling tools would be ideal for such scenario. Furthermore, the model platform along with infrastructure support can be used not only for online applications but also for offline purposes with multi-particle tracking simulation. In order to achieve such a platform, a set of common physics data structures has to be set. XAL's accelerator hierarchy based data structure is a good choice as the common structure for various models. Application Programming Interface (API) for physics applications should also be defined within a model data provider. A preliminary platform design and prototype is discussed.

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is setting up its high-level application software architecture. The architecture is based on Service Oriented Architecture, and consists of back-end data storage, client/service infrastructure, control system connectivity, supporting libraries and front-end Graphical User Interface (GUI). The architecture provides online models of FRIB as a service and allows for storage of both structured and non-structured data. The model for structured data is implemented using the Integrated Relational Model of Installed Systems (IRMIS). The GUI is based on Control System Studio (CSS) framework. Libraries, service, data access and GUI tools will be available as Application Programming Interface (API) or plug-ins. The infrastructure and technologies chosen here will utilize the robustness and performance for applications, as well as support quick prototyping for physicists. This paper describes FRIB’s high-level application software architecture and some of the current prototypes.
