Abstract
At the new neutron source FRM--II in Garching, Germany, the TACO control system, originally developed at the ESRF in Grenoble, France is used for instrument control purposes. TACO provides an object oriented, distributed control system including a clearly defined API. In order to equip TACO with a general user front end, a network based instrument control system named NICOS has been developed at the FRM-II. NICOS is divided into three parts: the NICOS Client, the NICOS Server and the NICOSMethods.
