BEC

BEC is a Beamline Experiment Control system that relies on multiple small services for orchestrating and steering the experiment at large research facilities. The usage of small services allows for a more modular system and facilitates the long-term maintainability.

The system is designed to be deployed at large research facilities where the interoperability with other systems is a key requirement. As shown in the figure below, the system can be connected to other services such as an electronic logbook, a data catalogue / archiving solution or a data processing pipeline. More services can be added easily by using the provided bec library.
