Although the VST telescope control software is based on the heritage of the other ESO telescopes, there is almost no module which has not been, at least, customized for its specific system. This paper reviews the lessons learned during the telescope commissioning in terms of advantages and disadvantages coming from the reuse of the VLT and ATs software.
This paper describes the motivation, design and implementation for re-factoring the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT) monitor and control software to utilize the ZeroMQ messaging library.

The Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) is a set of 66 millimeter wave antenna in the Andes in Northern Chile. All antennas are connected and operate as an interferometer making ALMA the most powerful millimeter telescope in the world. In 2013 ALMA formally marked the end of construction and the beginning of operations. This paper will focus on the impact, on the ALMA control software, of this transition from construction to operations.

The new Gemini High Resolution Optical Spectrograph (GHOST) will be controlled with software developed against the new Gemini software framework - the Gemini Instrument Application Programmer Interface (GIAPI). The developers describe their experience using this framework and compare it to control systems developed for earlier Gemini instruments using the original Gemini Core Instrument Control System (CICS) framework.

In a glance, Tesescopio Nazionale Galileo(1) (TNG) is going to present a New Telescope Control System (a.k.a. NTCS) following the new paths targeted for this medium size, ground based telescope. The core of this new TCS is based on a new system and software architecture which allows the telescope to reach the new goals with a higher grade of efficiency, automation and flexibility.

The Greenland Telescope (GLT) is a 12m diameter antenna that is being developed from the ALMA North America prototype antenna, for VLBI observations and single-dish science approaching THz, at the Summit station in Greenland. The GLT is a collaboration between the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and the Academia Sinica Institute of astronomy and Astrophysics. We describe the control and monitoring software that is being developed for GLT. The present version of the software is ready for the initial tests of the antenna at Thule, including optical and radio pointing calibration, holography, and VLBI observations at 230 GHz.

The demands or cases of forecasts or researches on solar eruption activities are considered. Based on these demands and based mainly on the observing data of Huairou Solar Observing Station, function architecture of a complete solar eruption activities processing tool with robotization and real time is designed, kernel implement method for the processing tool is analysed and support function library is designed, a pattern that benefits user use and a pattern that benefits the tool software extensions are presented finally.

MICADO, the near-infrared Multi-AO Imaging Camera for Deep Observations and ELT first light instrument, shall be operated as a client of the AO system MAORY and offer capabilities for different imaging modes and spectroscopy. Its control software is being developed on the basis of a customizable ESO framework while taking into account the separation of the system MICADO-MAORY into independent software entities as well as shared functionality with an instrument-specific observation preparation tool. We present a MICADO-centered perspective of the envisaged top-level architecture.

The Space Telescope Science Institute's development of the James Webb Space Telescope's science operations systems has benefitted from and has been a benefit to the current operations for the Hubble Space Telescope. Changes and improvements to systems shared by both missions have helped the HST mission keep up with newer technologies, while providing a free, live testbed for further JWST development.

The Discovery Channel Telescope (DCT) is a 4.3-meter astronomical research telescope being built in northern Arizona as a partnership between Discovery Communications and Lowell Observatory. The project software team has designed and partially implemented a component-based system. We describe here the key features of that design (state-based components that respond to signals) and detail specific implementation technologies we expect to be of most interest: examples of the Command Pattern, State Pattern, and XML-based configuration file handling using LabVIEW classes and shared variables with logging and alarming features.
