Scientific paper

The ARC 3.5 m observatory is being designed to permit rapid switching among seven standard instruments and to encourage routine use by remote observers. Remote operation of the telescope and instruments will be required over short distances on-site as well as by astronomers at their home institutions, since the control room and laboratory facilities will be located in a separate building to minimize thermal effects on seeing within the telescope enclosure. The authors discuss their design goals, the proposed architecture for the system, and the progress in development of software to implement the user/telescope and user/instrument interface.
