Abstract

In dynamic operational settings like the ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter Array) an astronomical observatory facility, the Monitoring and Control software continually evolves to meet emerging challenges. This necessitates a meticulous approach to tracking symptoms and variables, emphasizing the importance of experience-based software tools with usability and pre-production testability. These tools not only address immediate operational needs but also aid in precise requirement formalization, contributing to a comprehensive design process. This technical review explores the development of such tools, highlighting their role in effective solution exploration and validation. For enhanced operational safety and efficiency, particularly crucial to remote control room operations in dynamic environments.
