Controlling the CERN Accelerator Complex

<!--HTML--><h3><span><span>Engineering APIs for Accelerator Controls Software</span></span></h3> <p><span><span>This lecture will provide a general introduction to the challenges of developing Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), and integrating and evolving multiple APIs from different systems over time. It will go on to refer to real-life examples in the world of CERN Accelerator Controls, serving a large and heterogenous user community with a variety of technical and functional requirements. During the lecture, insights will be shared on technologies used and best practices when it comes to designing and developing scalable and reliable APIs.</span></span></p> <p><strong>Short bio Bartek Urbaniec</strong></p> <p>With a MSc in Computer Science, Bartek is a senior Controls engineer focused on topics of systems integration, configuration and full-stack software development. Prior to becoming a staff member in 2017, Bartek has worked in the CERN Controls domain for Cryogenics, other Industrial and accelerator controls systems. Since then, he has taken a leading role in the design&nbsp;and development of systems such as Timber and&nbsp;Accelerator Schedule Management. He is currently leading the Controls Configuration Service -&nbsp;a core component of the CERN&nbsp;Control System.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
