The Particle Beam Optics Laboratory, or PBO Lab, is a suite of software applications developed to support beamline design, accelerator operations, and personnel training. The software provides an intuitive and easy-to-use graphic user interface (GUI) that works with a variety of particle optics codes. The PBO Lab GUI is largely responsible for the popularity of this software suite, which is now used at more than ninety institutions throughout the world. While PBO Lab greatly improves the human-machine interface for several popular optics programs, it has historically required a significant effort to incorporate additional optics codes into the software suite. The Open Architecture Software Integration System, or OASIS, provides an innovative framework that allows users to readily integrate their own optics programs into PBO Lab. This paper provides an overview of the OASIS framework and describes some of the new PBO Lab Modules that have been created using OASIS.
