WODES2010 will provide 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 discrete event theory and applications, including (but not limited to) the following:

a) Formalisms and modelling methodologies: Petri nets, automata, statecharts, process algebras, max-plus algebra...
b) Control of discrete-event systems with emphasis on supervisory control and on real time control
c) Performance evaluation, diagnosis, optimisation, implementation and scheduling
d) Discrete approaches for hybrid systems and reactive systems
e) Applications including manufacturing systems, transportation systems,
process control, distributed systems, software engineering, office automation, telecommunication systems ...
