Dear Colleagues, we kindly invite you to the 14th Workshop on Discrete Event Systems that will be held at Towers Hotel Stabiae Sorrento Coast, Sorrento Coast, Italy, from May 30 to June 1, 2018.
*The final deadline is December 15, 2017. This is a firm deadline and there will be no further extension. An updated list of special session proposals is available on the conference web site. * * To facilitate the review process, authors of application oriented papers are invited to select the keyword “Application” (with the highest priority) during the submission process, regardless of whether they choose to submit the paper in the Regular paper category, or to the special session "Applications of Discrete Event Systems" (code: thump) or in the Demonstrator paper category.* CONFERENCE SCOPE The interdisciplinary field of Discrete Event Systems (DES) combines different formalisms, methodologies and tools from control, computer science and operations research. The research activity in this field is driven by the needs of many different applications domains: manufacturing, process control, supervisory systems, software engineering, transportation, etc. The 14th Workshop on Discrete Event Systems (WODES’18) aims at providing researchers from different fields (control theoreticians and control engineers, software engineers and computer scientists, operations research specialists) with an opportunity to exchange information and new ideas, and to discuss new developments in the field of DES theory and applications. The workshop will cover all topics in DES theory and applications, including (but not limited to) the following: * Formalisms and modeling methodologies: Petri nets, automata, state-charts, process algebras, max-plus algebra, queuing network * Control of discrete-event systems with emphasis on supervisory control and on real time control; * Performance evaluation, optimization and scheduling; * Diagnosis, fault detection, test, identification; * Discrete approaches for hybrid systems; * Event-driven methods in systems and control; * Applications including manufacturing systems, transportation systems, power production, distributed systems, software engineering, home automation, workflow, telecommunication systems, biological systems; * Automation methods and software tools enabling efficient handling of industrial-sized systems.

The presented papers will be further screened for possible publications in international journals. Submission site: http://ifac.papercept.net/conferences/scripts/start.pl following the link "Submit a contribution to WODES 2018". Special Session The format of special sessions consists of 4 to 6 presentations and allows a panel discussion led by the session chair(s), to motivate the exchange of opinions among presenters and participants. Special sessions papers will follow the reviewing process of regular papers. Demonstrator paper Among the innovative features of the 14th Workshop on Discrete Event Systems (WODES2018), contributions are most welcome to the special demonstrator paper category associated to an exhibition of demonstrators. The goal of these papers’ category is to promote research or educational-oriented devices, innovative prototypes and attractive transfer of technologies towards high-tech enterprise. Demonstrator papers are regular papers that will be selected on the same high peer-review standards as other regular papers and are intended to promote the excellence of colleagues involved in practical implementation of state-of-the-art control concepts in Discrete Event Systems. The exhibition will highlight the future applicative trends in the DES area. Demonstrator papers will be presented either at interactive sessions (for video or software demonstrators) or during one day within the demonstrators’ exhibition. Interactive sessions will take place during 2 hour session slots. Note: Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call for papers.
