This proposal aims to provide an integrated solution to problems often severely compromising the optimization processes in designing, building and operating an accelerator or beam delivery system: (1) Design tools assembled ad hoc and sub-optimal, with limited scope, consistency, and flexibility. Time and efforts wasted in single-use applications. (2) Absence of unifying software infrastructure to interconnect, integrate, cross-check, and archive separate programs modeling distinct physical processes. (3) Insufficient effort for truly global optimization accounting for sub-system interplay and trade-off among comprehensive set of design and operating parameters. (4) Commissioning and operational strategies not integrated at ground level, leading to surprises, squandered resources and costly retrofits. (5) Robustness of design not rigorously treated in design processes, much less the study of error recoverability, a measure of control/feedback system effectiveness.

本提案旨在为在设计、建造和操作加速器或束流输送系统时经常严重影响优化过程的问题提供一个综合解决方案：(1)设计工具装配特别且次优，范围有限、一致性和灵活性有限。浪费在单机版应用程序上的时间和精力。(2)缺乏统一的软件基础设施来互联、集成、交叉检查和归档建模不同物理过程的单独程序。(3)考虑到子系统之间的相互作用和综合设计和运行参数之间的权衡，对真正的全局优化的努力不够。(4)试运行和业务战略没有在实地整合，导致意外、浪费资源和昂贵的翻新。(5)设计的稳健性在设计过程中没有得到严格的对待，更不用说对错误可恢复性的研究，错误可恢复性是控制/反馈系统有效性的衡量标准。
