Particle accelerators for high energy physics will generate TeV-scale particle beams in large, multi-Km size machines colliding high brightness beams at the interaction point [1-4]. The high luminosity in such machines is achieved by producing very small asymmetric beam size at the interaction point, with short durations to minimize beam-beam effects. Tuning energy, timing and position of the beam for optimal performance will require high-precision controls of amplitude and phase of high-frequency electromagnetic fields and real-time processing of complex algorithms. The stability of the colliding beams has a large impact on the collider's effective luminosity. Therefore, the technology readiness level of diagnostic and control systems will be a major consideration in the collider design. The technical requirements of such systems depend on the specifics of beam parameters, such as transverse and longitudinal dimensions, charge/pulse and beam pulse format, which are driven by the accelerating technology of choice. While feedback systems with single bunch position monitor resolution below 50 nm and latency <300 ns have been demonstrated in beam test facilities, many advanced collider concepts make use of higher repetition rates, brighter beams and higher accelerating frequencies, and will require better performance, up to 1-2 order of magnitude, demanding aggressive R&D to be able to deliver and maintain the targeted luminosity.
