The Cherenkov Tele­scope Array (CTA) pro­ject is an in­ter­na­tional ini­tia­tive to build a next gen­er­a­tion ground-based ob­ser­va­tory for very high en­ergy gamma-rays. Three classes of tele­scopes with dif­fer­ent mir­ror size will be lo­cated in the north­ern and south­ern hemi­spheres. The ASTRI mini-ar­ray of CTA pre­pro­duc­tion is one of the small sized tele­scopes mini-ar­rays pro­posed to be in­stalled at the CTA south­ern site. The ASTRI mini-ar­ray will con­sist of nine units based on the end-to-end ASTRI SST-2M pro­to­type al­ready in­stalled on Mt. Etna (Italy). The mini-ar­ray soft­ware sys­tem (MASS) sup­ports the end to end ASTRI SST-2M pro­to­type and miniar­ray op­er­a­tions. The ASTRI soft­ware in­te­gra­tion team de­fined the pro­ce­dures to per­form ef­fec­tively the in­te­gra­tion test and re­lease ac­tiv­i­ties. The de­vel­oper has to prop­erly use the repos­i­tory tree and branches ac­cord­ing to the de­vel­op­ment sta­tus. We re­quire that the soft­ware in­cludes also spe­cific sec­tions for au­to­mated tests and that the soft­ware is well tested (in sim­u­lated and real sys­tem) be­fore any re­lease. Here we pre­sent the method adopted to re­lease the first MASS ver­sion to sup­port the ASTRI SST-2M pro­to­type test and op­er­a­tion ac­tiv­i­ties.

  The Square Kilo­me­tre Array (SKA) will be the world's largest and most sen­si­tive radio ob­ser­va­tory ever built. SKA is cur­rently com­plet­ing the pre-con­struc­tion phase be­fore ini­ti­at­ing mass con­struc­tion phase 1, in which two ar­rays of radio an­ten­nas - SKA1-Mid and SKA1-Low - will be in­stalled in the South Africa's Karoo re­gion and West­ern Aus­tralia's Murchin­son Shire, each cov­er­ing a dif­fer­ent range of radio fre­quen­cies. The SKA1-Mid array com­prises 130 15-m di­am­e­ter dish an­ten­nas ob­serv­ing in the 350 MHz-14 GHz range and will be re­motely or­ches­trated by the SKA Tele­scope Man­ager (TM) sys­tem. To en­able on­site and re­mote op­er­a­tions each dish will be equipped with a Local Mon­i­tor­ing and Con­trol (LMC) sys­tem re­spon­si­ble to di­rectly man­age and co­or­di­nate an­tenna in­stru­men­ta­tion and sub­sys­tems, pro­vid­ing a rolled-up mon­i­tor­ing view and high-level con­trol to TM. This paper gives a sta­tus up­date of the an­tenna in­stru­men­ta­tion and con­trol soft­ware de­sign and pro­vides de­tails on the LMC soft­ware pro­to­type being de­vel­oped.
