It continues experience of fruitful international co-operation in the subject with the view of extending the scope and fields of interests. The aim of the Workshop is to bring together researchers from universities and industry and provide a platform to report and discuss new topics in digital system design. The Workshop is devoted to subjects concerning design, analysis and implementation of discrete-event systems, formal design methodology, digital signal processing and related topics. Scope: The topics to be covered include, but are not limited to: * Logic Controller Design * Programmable Logic * Formal Methods in Digital Design * Hardware Description Languages (HDLs) * Petri Net-Based Digital Design * Hardware-Software Co-Design * Safety Critical Computer Control Applications * Artificial Intelligence and Adaptive Systems * Real-Time System Programming * Microprocessor Systems * UML in Digital Design * System-on-Chip (SoC) * Web Engineering in Digital Design * Modeling and Control of Biomedical Systems * Digital Signal Processing Implementation * Digital Communication Systems International Programme Committee: Workshop Chair: Marian Adamski, Poland Co-Chair: Alfredo Rosado Muñoz, Spain IFAC Representatives: Marek Węgrzyn, Poland (TC 3.1) Francesco Basile, Italy (TC 1.3) Martin Fabian, Sweden (TC 1.3) David Angeli, United Kingdom (TC 2.1) Antonio E.B.

They should address topics as outlined above and focus on insights and lessons gained from recent researches and practical experiences. Position papers describing new ideas, promising approaches, and work in progress are considered particularly appropriate. These papers should outline the contribution that the authors intend to make at the Workshop. The papers need to be submitted as PDF files (according to the IFAC Authors' Instruction http://www.ifac-control.org/events/information-for-ifac-authors) through our WWW server: http://www.desdes.uz.zgora.pl Final Papers: The final papers must be prepared according to the IFAC Authors' Instruction (http://www.ifac-control.org/events/information-for-ifac-authors). Accepted papers must be presented in person at the Workshop. Correspondence: All correspondence should be addressed to the Workshop address: DESDes@iie.uz.zgora.pl. Language: English will be the working language of the workshop and will be used for the proceedings, the presentations and discussions. No simultaneous translation will be provided. Important Dates: Draft papers submission: 26. April 2009 (EXTENDED) Notification of acceptance: 01. June 2009 Early Registration: 30. June 2009 Camera-ready papers: 25. July 2009 Workshop: 06-08. October 2009 Copyright Conditions: The material submitted for presentation at an IFAC meeting (Congress, Symposium, Conference, Workshop) must be original, not published or being considered elsewhere. All papers accepted for presentation will appear in the Preprints of the meeting and will be distributed to the participants. Papers duly presented at the IFAC Congress, Symposia, Conferences and Workshops will be hosted on-line on the IFAC-PapersOnLine.net website. The presented papers will be further screened for possible publication in the IFAC Journals (Automatica, Control Engineering Practice, Annual Reviews in Control, Journal of Process Control , Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, and Mechatronics), or in IFAC affiliated journals. All papers presented will be recorded as an IFAC Publication. Copyright of material presented at an IFAC meeting is held by IFAC. Authors will be required to transfer copyrights electronically. The IFAC Journals and, after these, IFAC affiliated journals have priority access to all contributions presented. However, if the author is not contacted by an editor of these journals, within three months after the meeting, he/she is free to submit an expanded version of the presented material for journal publication elsewhere. In this case, the paper must carry a reference to the IFAC meeting where it was originally presented and, if the paper has appeared on the website www.IFAC-PapersOnLine.net, also a reference to this publication.
