  In this report we present the Container Object MAnager (COMA) class for Java applcations, designed for use in rich, simple, or hybrid applications. This class considerably enhances the Graphical User Interface (GUI) flexibility and extends the application's data presentation capabilities. It allows run-time configuration of size, position, and other visual properties of all GUI components. Furthermore, new GUI components such as ACOP* controls can be added by drag-and-drop at run time to the existing application, providing additional access to control system resources. The set of all applied changes made at run time can be saved to an XML configuration file, which in turn can be reapplied by the COMA class upon a restart of the application. In this manner, the COMA class affords the possibility of allowing users in general and operators in particular to apply their own extentions to existing applications. Similarly, starting from an empty COMA frame, a simple application can be easily created at run time without using a framework, IDE, etc. This paper describes the implementation of the Coma class and presents its benefits when used in connection with the ACOP beans.

  The current ACOP (Advanced Component Oriented Programming)* controls set has now been expanded to include a wide variety of graphical java beans, which simultaneously act as displayers of control system data. Besides the original ACOP Chart, the set of ACOP beans also includes a Label, Slider, Table, Gauge, Wheel, and image control, along with an invisible Transport bean, which is itself embedded in the ACOP GUI beans. The new ACOP beans all offer design-time browsing of the control system to expedite data end-point selection. Optionally a developer can choose to connect and render the incoming data automatically, obviating the need for writing code. The developer can either forgo this option or choose to override the generated code with his own, allowing for rich client development. At the same time a user can browse and add or change the control system endpoints at run-time. If the application is using the Component Object Manager (COMA)** then all visual aspects of the application can be edited at run-time, allowing for simple client development. This scenario is independent of a framework, and the developer is free to choose the IDE of choice.

  Java Abeans libraries were successfully started in 1999 as part of ANKA control system. The goal was to provide a universal solution for building high level control system applications in Java for any control system. The arrival of Java 1.5 in 2005 was an excellent opportunity to review Abeans and CosyBeans (GUI components and widgets part of Abeans). Cosylab has put experience and new features of Java 1.5 into new projects which superseded what has been done so far by Cosylab. The key element for success of the projects is the collaboration between different laboratories. The CosyBeans components have found their usefulness as a base for development of ACOP GUI components for TINE at DESY. Similarly Abeans' non-visual libraries were replaced by DAL (Data Access Library) and CSS (Control System Studio) projects developed in collaboration with DESY. DAL was also successfully used at GSI, Darmstadt, to model device layer on top of middle-ware CORBA layer. New Java applications were build with DAL and renewed CosyBeans components and are already used in commissioning of new beamline at GSI.

  The market for industrial vision components is evolving towards GigE Vision (Gigabit Ethernet vision standard). In recent years, the usage of TV systems/optical readout at accelerator facilities has been increasing. The Video System at PITZ, originated in the year 2001, has overcome a huge evolution over the last years. Being real-time capable, lossless capable, versatile, well-documented, interoperable, and designed with the user's perspective in mind, use cases at Petra 3 and EMBL at DESY Hamburg have been implemented to great success. The wide use range spans from robotics to live monitoring up to precise measurements. The submission will show the hardware and software structure, components used, current status as well as a perspective for future work.

  TINE (Three-fold Integrated Networking Environment) has been the Control System in use at HERA for some time, plays a major role in the Pre-accelerators at DESY, DORIS, FLASH, PITZ (Zeuthen), EMBL-Hamburg, GKSS-Hamburg, PF Beamline (KEK), and is the designated control system for the new third-generation light source PETRA3. TINE has always emphasized both performance and flexibility. For instance, using the multicast capabilities of TINE, state-of-the-art, near real-time video transmission is possible. At the same time, developers have a large toolkit and variety of software solutions at their disposal, and in general on their favorite platform and programming language. Code-generation wizards are available for rapid development of TINE servers, whereas intelligent GUI components such as ACOP(*) aid in the development of either “rich” or “simple” client applications. The most recent major release brought with it a bundle of new features and improvements. We give here an overview of the TINE control system in general, what’s new in particular, and focus on those features not available in other mainstream control systems, such as EPICS or TANGO.
