The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), is a single telescope of revolutionary design, composed of 66 high precision antennas to provide one of the largest astronomical observatories in existence.
The project, exploiting an agile feature-driven development process,  involves the development, deployment and maintenance of the ALMA Common Software(ACS); a set of CORBA based components providing software infrastructure common to all operational subsystems. The components may be implemented in any of the supported programming languages (C++, Java and Python). Where possible, ACS relies on standard CORBA services, choosing the most suitable implementation from one of the adopted CORBA implementations (ACE/TAO for C++, JacORB for Java, omniORB for Python).
