The call, as published

Reproduced verbatim from the organisers’ announcement, after a deadline extension. The conference’s own page is at wodes2018.unisa.it/.

Dear Colleagues,
we kindly invite you to the 14th Workshop on Discrete Event Systems that will be held
at Towers Hotel Stabiae Sorrento Coast, Sorrento Coast, Italy, from May 30 to June 1, 2018.

The final deadline is December 15, 2017. This is a firm deadline and there will be no further extension.
An updated list of special session proposals is available on the conference web site.

To facilitate the review process, authors of application oriented papers are invited to select the keyword “Application” (with the highest priority) during the submission process, regardless of whether they choose to submit the paper in the Regular paper category, or to the special session "Applications of Discrete Event Systems" (code: thump) or in the Demonstrator paper category.


CONFERENCE SCOPE
The interdisciplinary field of Discrete Event Systems (DES) combines different formalisms, methodologies and tools from control, computer science
and operations research. The research activity in this field is driven by the needs of many different applications domains: manufacturing, process control,
supervisory systems, software engineering, transportation, etc.

The 14th Workshop on Discrete Event Systems (WODES’18) aims at providing 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 DES theory and applications, including (but not limited to) the following:

* Formalisms and modeling methodologies: Petri nets, automata, state-charts, process algebras, max-plus algebra, queuing network
* Control of discrete-event systems with emphasis on supervisory control and on real time control;
* Performance evaluation, optimization and scheduling;
* Diagnosis, fault detection, test, identification;
* Discrete approaches for hybrid systems;
* Event-driven methods in systems and control;
* Applications including manufacturing systems, transportation systems, power production, distributed systems, software engineering, home automation, workflow, telecommunication systems, biological systems;
* Automation methods and software tools enabling efficient handling of industrial-sized systems.

VENUE
WODES 2018 will be held at Towers Hotel Stabiae Sorrento Coast, a modern four-star hotel located
between the magnificent Gulf of Naples and the famous rocks of the Sorrento Peninsula. Its strategic location
places the hotel in the center of the most enchanting touristic itineraries of the Campania region
including the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento, Capri, Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Paper Submission and Publication
Prospective participants are invited to electronically submit regular papers following the instructions on the Submission page.
The presented papers will be further screened for possible publications in international journals.
Submission site: http://ifac.papercept.net/conferences/scripts/start.pl following the link "Submit a contribution to WODES 2018".

Special Session
The format of special sessions consists of 4 to 6 presentations and allows a panel discussion led by the session chair(s),
to motivate the exchange of opinions among presenters and participants. Special sessions papers will follow the reviewing process of regular papers.

Demonstrator paper
Among the innovative features of the 14th Workshop on Discrete Event Systems (WODES2018), contributions are most welcome
to the special demonstrator paper category associated to an exhibition of demonstrators.
The goal of these papers’ category is to promote research or educational-oriented devices, innovative prototypes and attractive transfer
of technologies towards high-tech enterprise.

Demonstrator papers are regular papers that will be selected on the same high peer-review standards as other regular papers and are intended
to promote the excellence of colleagues involved in practical implementation of state-of-the-art control concepts in Discrete Event Systems.
The exhibition will highlight the future applicative trends in the DES area.
Demonstrator papers will be presented either at interactive sessions (for video or software demonstrators) or during one day within
the demonstrators’ exhibition. Interactive sessions will take place during 2 hour session slots.

Note: Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call for papers.

Data entirely hand-typed, one call for papers at a time. There is no scraper behind any of this: I read the announcement and type the dates in, in the gaps between other work, and with the hope it is useful to others. Organisers then move deadlines without telling anyone, calls get edited in place, and now and then the typing is simply wrong. Treat this as a well-meaning notebook rather than an authority, and check the conference’s own page before you submit anything you care about.
