Our
goals
The field of Discrete Event Systems
(DES) has emerged to provide a formal treatment of many
man-made systems such as automated manufacturing systems,
computer systems, communication networks, air traffic control
systems, transportation systems and integrated logistics.
The man made systems of the actual computer dependent word
deal with discrete quantities and their dynamics is due
to asynchronous occurrences of discrete events. In the last
years, researchers and practitioners developed new modeling
frameworks, design tools, testing techniques and systematic
control procedures for this new generation of highly complex
systems. New paradigms are introduced in order to combining
mathematical techniques with processing data and simulation
procedures.
Discrete event system models (such
as Petri nets, automata, Markov chains) are used to describe
very different aspects of the real word: computer systems,
communication systems, manufacturing systems, traffic systems.
Recently, corporations and researchers are being attracted
by the key problem of using effectively and efficiently
the latest developments of ICT (Information and Communication
Technologies) in different new fields such as Transportation
Systems, Logistics networks and healthcare systems. This
new application leads to the description of new realities
that exhibit a high degree of concurrency and are characterized
by resource sharing and conflicts. The challenge is opening
new frontiers in the application of tools and models typical
of the discrete event systems in order to improve the knowledge
and the management of new complex and man made systems.
The primary objective of the TC on Discrete Event Systems
is to promote communication between DES researchers, students,
and practitioners. Hence, the goal of the TC is to provide
a basis for the exchange of information and ideas among
researchers and practitioners through scientific events,
such as special conference sessions, tutorials and journal
special issues.
