The interdisciplinary field of Discrete Event Systems (DES) brings together researchers from academia and industry that use diverse formalisms, methods, and tools from control theory, computer science, electrical and mechanical engineering and operations research. Research in DES is driven by the demands of a wide range of application areas, including manufacturing, process control, supervisory control, software engineering, and transportation.
The Workshop Series on Discrete Event Systems started in 1992 and has been held every two years. It aims to provide researchers from different fields (control theoreticians and control engineers, software engineers and computer scientists) with an opportunity to exchange information and new ideas, and to discuss new developments in the field of DES theory and application.
The 18th Workshop on Discrete Event Systems offers a platform for researchers across these domains to share insights, explore new ideas, and discuss the latest advances in DES theory and its practical applications. The workshop will cover all topics in DES theory and applications.
