ROSALI: An application allowing online/offline algorithm implementation to assess beam instrumentaion performance

A software tool called Rapid Online Software ALgorithm Implementation (ROSALI) has been developed at CERN. This application is intended to provide instrumentation experts and accelerator physicists with a tool, which allows monitoring and storage of beam measurements and rapid algorithm implementation via specialized actions on the embedded Mathematica kernel. The users are able to build or modify online a sequence of actions implementing their algorithms. Those sequences can subscribe to ongoing measurements from several beam instruments or retrieve data from previous recordings, merge these measurements to obtain correlation diagrams or perform dedicated calculations. This document presents the current state and the foreseen extensions of this application. The application has been tested last year on the SPS and it will be used this year on the new LEIR machine at CERN.
