Water Cherenkov particle detectors, deep in the sea and far off the coasts of France and Italy, are already taking data while incremental construction progresses. Data Acquisition Control software is operating off-shore detectors as well as testing and qualification stations for their components. The software, named Control Unit, is highly modular. It can undergo upgrades and reconfiguration with the acquisition running. Interplay with the central database of the Collaboration is obtained in a way that allows for data taking even if Internet links fail. In order to simplify the management of computing resources in the long term, and to cope with possible hardware failures of one or more computers, the KM3NeT Control Unit software features a custom dynamic resource provisioning and failover technology, which is especially important for ensuring continuity in case of rare transient events in multi-messenger}, organization = {French National Research Agency (ANR) ANR-15-CE31-0020}, organization = {Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)}, organization = {Commission Europeenne (FEDER fund)}, organization = {European Union (EU)}, organization = {Institut Universitaire de France (IUF), France}, organization = {IdEx program}, organization = {Univearths Labex program at Sorbonne Paris Cite, France ANR-10-LABX-0023 ANR-11-IDEX-000502}, organization = {Paris Ile-de-France Region, France}, organization = {Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation of Georgia (SRNSFG), Georgia FR-18-1268}, organization = {German Research Foundation (DFG)}, organization = {Greek Ministry of Development-GSRT}, organization = {Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Universita e della Ricerca (MIUR), PRIN 2017 program Italy NAT-NET 2017W4HA7S}, organization = {Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Professional Training, Morocco}, organization = {Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) Netherlands Government}, organization = {National Science Center, Poland National Science Centre, Poland 2015/18/E/ST2/00758}, organization = {National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS), Romania}, organization = {Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovacion, Investigacion y Universidades (MCIU), Spain}, organization = {Programa Estatal de Generacion de Conocimiento (MCIU/FEDER) PGC2018-096663-B-C41 PGC2018-096663-A-C42 PGC2018-096663-B-C43 PGC2018-096663-BC44}, organization = {Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence}, organization = {MultiDark Consolider (MCIU), Spain}, organization = {Junta de Andalucía}, organization = {Generalitat Valenciana, Spain: Grisolia GRISOLIA/2018/119}, organization = {Generalitat Valenciana CIDEGENT/2018/034}, organization = {La Caixa Foundation LCF/BQ/IN17/11620019}, organization = {EU: MSC program, Spain 713673}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {KM3NeT}, keywords = {Data acquisition control}, keywords = {Neutrino detectors}, keywords = {Astroparticle detector}, title = {The Control Unit of the KM3NeT Data Acquisition System}, doi = {10.1016/j.cpc.2020.107433}, author = {Aiello, S. and Díaz García, Antonio Francisco and López Coto, Daniel and Navas Concha, Sergio}, }
