Bluesky Queue Server for beamline control at NSLS-II

Bluesky is a Python-based framework for experiment orchestration that is widely used at synchrotron facilities around the world. Queue Server (QS) is an essential component of Bluesky software stack that supports high-level functionality, such as control over the environment for executing Bluesky plans, enqueueing plans, executing and managing the plan queue, monitoring and controlling running plans, etc. The functionality is exposed via comprehensive set of APIs, which are designed to support wide range of workflows. QS is successfully used in applications, such as GUI-based and remote control, AI-driven and multimodal experiments. The experience and challenges of deploying and using QS at NSLS-II beamlines is discussed in the presentation.
