Recent years have witnessed the increasing impact of the control systems on a human activity. Nowadays, they can be found in almost all areas of human life such as transportation, medicine, artificial intelligence, manufacturing, security and safety. As they dynamically and continuously grow, innovative software and hardware designing methods as well as technologies ought to be analysed and developed.

The IEEE Design and Analysis of Control Systems (IEEE DACS) is organized as a Special Session in conjunction with the 7th International Conference on Human System Interaction - HSI 2014 (http://sites.uninova.pt/hsi2014) and will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, from 16 to 18 June, 2014. The aim of the session is to bring together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia to provide them with a platform to report on recent developments, deployments, technology trends and research results, as well as initiatives related to design and analysis of control systems and their applications in a variety of industrial environments.

Topics:
• Control Units and Control Systems
• Embedded Systems
• Petri Net-Based Digital Design
• Logic Controller Design
• Safety Critical Computer Control Applications
• Programmable Logic
• Artificial Intelligence and Adaptive Systems
• UML in Digital Design
• Microprocessor-based Control Systems
• Hardware-Software Co-Design
