BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY AS A KEY MEASURE FOR SMOOTH UPGRADES TO THE LHC CONTROL SYSTEM

It is a big challenge to smoothly upgrade the control system of a large operational accelerator such as the LHC without causing unnecessary downtime. We have identified backward compatibility as a key measure to achieve this, because a backward compatible component can be easily upgraded. This document describes the work the CERN Accelerator Controls group does to provide methods and tools supporting backward compatibility.
