This paper presents the history of the development of the management system for an informationally structured environment named Town Management System, TMS. The development of TMS was started in 2005 in the project named Robot Town Project. We are continuing our efforts for improving the performance and enhancing the functions of the TMS so far. Recently, we launched a new town management system named ROS-TMS ver. 4.0, which combines TMS and ROS to utilize the high scalability and a plenty of resources of ROS. We also introduce a new informationally structured platform named Big Sensor Box, B-sen, in which a variety of sensors are embedded and service robots are operated according to the structured information under the management of the ROS-TMS.
