	STARS (Simple Transmission and Retrieval System) [1] is extremely simple and useful software for small-scale control systems and it runs on various operating system. STARS consists of client programs (STARS clients) and a server (STARS server) program. Each client is connected to the server via a TCP/IP socket and each client and the server communicate with text based message. STARS is used for various system at the KEK Photon Factory (beamline control system, experimental hall access control system, key handling system etc.) and development of stars (development many kind of STARS clients, interconnection of Web2c [2] and STARS etc.) is still going. We will describe current development status of STARS. [1] http://stars.kek.jp/ [2] http://adweb.desy.de/mcs/web2cToolkit/web2c_home.htm

	STARS is a message transferring software for small-scale control systems originally developed at the Photon Factory. It has a server-client architecture using TCP/IP sockets and can work on various types of operating systems. Since the Photon Factory adopted STARS as a common beamline control software, we have developed beamline control system which controls optical devices (mirror, monochrometer etc.). We developed also various system and softwares, such as information delivering system of Photon Factory ring status based on STARS and TINE or measurement softwares based on the STARS, for the Photon Factory beamlines. Now many kinds of useful STARS applications (device clients, simple data acquisitions, user interfaces etc.) are available. We will describe the development and installation status of the STARS-based beamline system and softwares.

STARS is a message transferring software for small-scale control systems originally developed at the Photon Factory. It has a server-client architecture using TCP/IP sockets and can work on various types of operating systems. Since the Photon Factory adopted STARS as a common beamline control software, we have developed beamline control system which controls optical devices (mirror, monochrometer etc.). We developed also various system and softwares, such as information delivering system of Photon Factory ring status based on STARS and TINE or measurement softwares based on the STARS, for the Photon Factory beamlines. Now many kinds of useful STARS applications (device clients, simple data acquisitions, user interfaces etc.) are available. We will describe the development and installation status of the STARS-based beamline system and softwares.
