[en] The development and maintenance of the control systems of the four LHC experiments will require a non-negligible amount of resources and effort. The Joint COntrols Project (JCOP)[1] has been set-up as a collaboration between CERN and the four LHC experiments to find common solutions for the LHC experiments' control systems. Although the JCOP general principle is to promote the use of industrial solutions wherever possible, custom solutions are still required when non-standard devices or very large numbers of devices have to be controlled. Furthermore, to ease the development and integration of both standard and non-standard device into the control system a number of software Frameworks are under development. The authors will describe the various solutions being proposed by JCOP including the Supervisory and Front-End frameworks as well as the various industrial and custom components. In addition, they will also describe where these fit into the foreseen JCOP controls architecture. The authors will then highlight in more detail the Front-End Framework
