2007 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics
Oct. 8 - Oct. 10, 2007. Montréal, Canada
Conference web site:

===================================================
The aim of this session is to provide the communities of
safety/reliability analysis and design of DES (Discrete Event Systems)
with an opportunity to exchange information and new ideas, and to discuss
new developments in the field of design, analysis, and control of DES.

The special session will cover all topics related to specification,
design and implementation and operation of controllers for discrete
systems, including the on-line and off line methods to fault prevention
and tolerance, identification, monitors and diagnosis, reconfiguration,
etc. In particular, different approaches can be included such as
automata, Petri nets, Markov chains, timed discrete event models,
etc.

Finally, we encourage also APPLICATIONS to manufacturing and production
systems, transport, power plants, mechatronic systems, embedded systems,
communication, ?
