    "abstract": "The Framework is one of the subprojects of the Joint COntrols Project (JCOP),\nwhich is collaboration between the four LHC experiments and CERN. By sharing\ndevelopment, this will reduce the overall effort required to build and maintain\nthe experiment control systems. As such, the main aim of the Framework is to\ndeliver a common set of software components, tools and guidelines that can be\nused by the four LHC experiments to build their control systems. Although\ncommercial components are used wherever possible, further added value is\nobtained by customisation for HEP-specific applications. The supervisory layer\nof the Framework is based on the SCADA tool PVSS, which was selected after a\ndetailed evaluation. This is integrated with the front-end layer via both OPC\n(OLE for Process Control), an industrial standard, and the CERN-developed DIM\n(Distributed Information Management System) protocol. Several components are\nalready in production and being used by running fixed-target experiments at\nCERN as well as for the LHC experiment test beams. The paper will give an\noverview of the key concepts behind the project as well as the state of the\ncurrent development and future plans.",
