Aims and Scopes


    The workshop will provide the communities of safety/reliability analysis and of DES (Discrete Event Systems) with an opportunity to exchange information and new ideas, and to discuss new developments in the field of Dependable Control of Discrete Systems. Gathering researchers and practitioners of the two communities, it is expected to contribute to a better interdisciplinary approach for control dependability improvement.


    Attendants of this meeting come from diverse areas (control systems, automation sciences, information systems, computer sciences, operations research, ...) related to different application domains, such as production systems, transport systems, automotive, embedded systems, power production and distribution, healthcare, etc.
