CCAT will be a 25m diameter sub-millimeter telescope capable of operating in the 0.2 to 2.1
mm wavelength range. It will be located at an altitude of 5600m on Cerro Chajnantor in
northern Chile near the ALMA site. The anticipated first generation instruments include large
format (60,000) kinetic inductance detector (KID) cameras, a large format heterodyne array
and a direct detection multi-object spectrometer. The paper describes the architecture of the
CCAT software and the development strategy.
