| Abstract |
The ALICE experiment at the LHC has already been in operation for 15 years, and during its life several detectors have been replaced, new instruments installed, and some technologies changed. The control system has therefore also had to adapt, evolve and expand, sometimes departing from the symmetry and compactness of the original design. In a large collaboration, different groups contribute to the development of the control system of their detector. For the central coordination it is important to maintain the overview of the integrated control system to assure its coherence. Tools to visualize the structure and other critical aspects of the system can be of great help and can highlight problems or features of the control system such as deviations from the agreed architecture. This paper will present that existing tools, such as graphical widgets available in the public domain, or techniques typical of scientific analysis, can be adapted and help assess the coherence of the development, revealing any weaknesses and highlighting the interdependence of parts of the system. We show how we have used some of these techniques to analyse the coherence of the ALICE control system, and how this contributed to pointing out criticalities and key points.
