Management of Control System Data in an Object-Oriented Database
Matthew Bickley, B.A. Bowling, S. Witherspoon · 1996
The Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) will use object-oriented databases (OODBs) to manage accelerator control system data. The managed data will include algorithmic detail of low-level controls, operationally specified control parameters and high-level accelerator modeling data. Tools have been built to support a variety of database users, including developers of both low-level and high-level software, machine operators and accelerator physicists. The planned databases will be both flexible and fast, and should prove to be ideal tools for meeting the diverse needs of their users.
