Electronic Logbook System
Abstract
Modern scientific research, conducted on technically complex facilities, often requires auxiliary information and computing systems to support effective resolution of research tasks. Among these tools are logbooks for tracking operation events and personnel actions. Beyond scientific research, the practice of keeping logs of events is widespread in many other areas and is an integral part of the operation of most modern technically complex facilities. Such logs are also kept at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR). This article describes a new electronic logging system currently being developed at the JINR Mescheryakov Laboratory of Information Technologies for the accelerator complex of the JINR Laboratory of High Energy Physics. The developed system is implemented as a web application using the classic LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) technology stack and is based on the WordPress Content Management System (CMS). Using WordPress CMS as the foundation of the developed system enhances its flexibility and extensibility, thanks to the extensive availability of plugins. This work provides a brief overview of the system's structure, the employed technologies, and its distinctive core functionality that sets it apart from other systems in this class. The system presented in this paper is a freely distributable open-source system and can find application in other projects of diverse focus.
