	A framework for high-level accelerator application software has been planned for the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). The framework is based on plug-in technology developed by the Eclipse open-source project. Many existing functionalities provided by Eclipse are available to high-level applications written within this framework. The framework contains static data storage, configuration, and dynamic data connectivity, as well as modeling through XAL and MAD. Additionally, because the framework is Eclipse-based, it is highly compatible with any other Eclipse plug-ins, such as Control System Studio. The entire infrastructure of the software framework will be presented. Applications and plug-ins based on the framework are also presented.
WOAB01	Operational Tools at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center	controls, diagnostics, feedback, linac	288

	The operational tools at SLAC have been in continuous development for 20 years. These include a highly developed orbit correction package, an automatic bump maker, orbit fitting, lattice diagnostics, beta-matching and phase advance calculator, a macro recording facility, "Correlation Plots," which is a facility for conducting small ad-hoc experiments, plus a number of others. All of these use a global online modeling database system, and they are all integrated into a single interactive application program, so they interoperate seamlessly. In this talk I'll review these tools, and contrast them with systems we have recently developed which focus on support for accelerator physics conducted directly from numerical analysis packages such as Matlab, or from physicists' own small specialized programs. Lastly, our plans to rewrite all of these operational tools using modern software tools and infrastructure, and how we bridge old systems to new, will be presented.

	A beam commissioning software system based on a relational database (RDB) has been developed for the J-PARC LINAC. We developed two high-level software frameworks, JCE and XAL. JCE (Java Commissioning Environment) based on a scripting language SAD script has been developed in Java with device control, monitoring, online modelling and data analysis functions. XAL has been developed initially by SNS and developed for J-PARC. A commissioning database system has been developed to configure commonly these two frameworks, for model geometry, EPICS control, and calibration parameters. A server for unit conversion of magnet power supplies has also developed for the commissioning software. Commissioning applications for RF tuning, transverse matching, orbit correction, beam-based calibration, beam monitor controls have been developed using the two framework and successfully applied for beam tuning. We report on the status of development for the commissioning software system.
