ADECS 2015 - 2nd International Workshop on Petri Nets for Adaptive Discrete Event Control Systems (ADECS 2015)

The new generation of Discrete Event Control Systems (DECS) is addressing new important criteria as flexibility and agility. To reduce the development cost, these systems should be changed and adapted to their environment without any disturbance. Several academic and industrial research works have been made in recent years to develop reconfigurable adaptive systems. We distinguish in these works two reconfiguration policies: static and dynamic reconfigurations such that static reconfigurations are applied off-line to apply changes before any system cold start, whereas dynamic reconfigurations are dynamically applied at run-time. Two cases exist in the second policy: manual reconfigurations applied by users and automatic reconfigurations applied by intelligent agents.
This workshop intends to gather students and researchers who have interests in the application of concurrency modelling and analysis techniques for adaptive DECS. Case studies with specific focus on reconfigurability and demonstrating the specific power of different Petri net classes are especially encouraged.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Adaptive Discrete Event Control System,
Reconfigurable Petri Nets-based Models,
Static and Dynamic Reconfiguration,
Petri Nets for Intelligent Systems,
Petri Nets for Autonomous Systems,
Petri Nets for embedded control systems
Verification and Validation of Adaptive Nets
Tests and Simulations of Adaptive Systems,
Benchmarking, Adaptive Applications.
