  Timing systems are crucial ingredients for the successful operation of any particle accelerator complex. They are used not only to synchronize different processes but also to time-stamp and ensure overall coherency of acquired data. We describe fundamental time and frequency figures of merit and methods to measure them, and continue with a description of current synchronization solutions for different applications, precisions and geographical coverage, and some examples. Finally, we describe new trends in timing technology and applications.
