Abstract
Advanced Light Source (ALS), under construction for the past seven yea rs, has become operational. The accelerator has been successfully comm issioned using a control system based on hundreds of controllers of ou r own design and high performance personal computers which form the op erator interface. The first beamlines are being commissioned using a c ontrol system based on VME hardware and the Experimental Physics and I ndustrial Control System (EPICS) software. The two systems are being i ntegrated and this paper reports on the current work.
