One of the main pillars of the ALBA Synchrotron Light Source (Barcelona, Spain) Strategy Plan is the preparation of ALBA to be upgraded to a fourth-generation light source. To accomplish this, a preliminary design of the accelerator has already been initiated in 2021. On the Computing side, the upgrade of the accelerator will require a comprehensive overhaul of most parts of the Control System, DAQ, Timing, and many other systems as well as DevOps strategies. This need for a major redesign will bring new architectural challenges, and opportunities to benefit from new technologies that were not present at the time ALBA was designed and build. This paper presents the preliminary design studies, pilot projects, new approaches to development coordination and management, and the preparation plan to acquire the knowledge and experience needed to excel in the ALBA II Control System Stack design.

The ALBA Synchrotron has started the work for up-grading the accelerator and beamlines towards a 4th gen-eration source, the future ALBA II, in 2030. A complete redesign of the magnets lattice and an upgrade of the beamlines will be required. But in addition, the success of the ALBA II project will depend on multiple factors. First, after thirteen years in operation, all the subsystems of the current accelerator must be revised. To guarantee their lifetime until 2060, all the possible ageing and obsoles-cence factors must be considered. Besides, many tech-nical enhancements have improved performance and reliability in recent years. Using the latest technologies will also avoid obsolescence in the medium term, both in the hardware and the software. Considering this, the pro-ject ALBA II Computing Preliminary Study (ALBA II CPS) was launched in mid-2021, identifying 11 work packages. In each one, a group of experts were selected to analyze the different challenges and needs in the compu-ting and electronics fields for future accelerator design: from power supplies technologies, IOC architectures, or PLC-based automation systems to synchronization needs, controls software stack, IT Systems infrastructure or ma-chine learning opportunities. Now, we have a clearer picture of what is required. Hence, we can build a realistic project plan to ensure the success of the ALBA II. It is time to get ALBA II off the ground.
