Abstract
The ALMA Radio Telescope has a large, integrated, software system to handle all aspects of telescope operation. This software has been developed by a large international consortium of collaborating institutions. This paper briefly describes the scope of the software effort, the technical approach which has been implemented, and the management approach which has been used to oversee its development.
