Abstract
The Data Flow System (DFS) provides the software infrastructure for supporting the end-to-end operation of the VLT. It is a distributed system composed of a collection of components for preparation and scheduling of observations, archiving of data, pipeline data reduction and quality control. The current system, its evolution since the beginning of operations in 1999 and future developments are presented in this chapter.
