	GSI decided to use FESA (Front-End Software Architecture) as the front-end software toolkit for the FAIR accelerator complex. FESA was originally developed at CERN. Since 2010 FESA3, a revised version of FESA, is developed in the frame of an international collaboration between CERN and GSI. During development of FESA3 emphasis was placed on the possibility of flexible customization for different environments and to provide site-specific extensions to allow adaptation for the contributors. GSI is the first institute different than CERN to integrate FESA3 into its control system environment. Some of the necessary preparations have already been performed to establish FESA3 at GSI. Examples are RPM packaging for multiple installations, support for site-specific properties and data types, first integration of the White Rabbit based timing system, etc. . Further developments such as e.g. integration of a site-specific database or the full integration of GSI's beam process concept for FAIR will follow.

GSI decided to use FESA (Front-End Software Architecture) as the front-end software toolkit for the FAIR accelerator complex. FESA was originally developed at CERN.

During development of FESA3 emphasis was placed on the possibility of flexible customization for different environments and to provide site-specific extensions to allow adaptation for the contributors. GSI is the first institute different than CERN to integrate FESA3 into its control system environment. Some of the necessary preparations have already been performed to establish FESA3 at GSI.
