Abstract
The complexity and dynamic nature of laboratory configurations pose a challenge when undertaking joint experiments, involving multiple Research Infrastructures (RIs). In this context, this paper presents an approach towards the automation of Configuration Management (CM) for joint experiments between multiple labs. The objective is to develop a CM workflow, based on the automated generation of individual local signal configurations from a single global experiment configuration. For this reason, a global experiment configuration file which defines signals, their exchange patterns between RIs, and the data transport packages used for the actual exchange is created. Furthermore, typical use cases based on static and dynamic lab configuration are defined and demonstrated using the proposed approach.
