The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers from universities and industry and provide them with a platform to report on new topics in embedded microsystem design.
The International Workshop DESDes'01 focuses implementation of reactive, embedded, discrete-event systems in Field Programmable Logic (FPGA and CPLD), as well as related formal design methodologies and tools.
The scope of workshop includes Hardware Description Languages (VHDL or Verilog) in digital microsystem design, and hardware and software implementations of Petri net-based specification. All others associated aspects of digital microsystem design are also considered, especially application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), systems-on-a-chip (SOC) applications.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Logic Controllers Design

• Programmable Logic

• Hardware Description Languages

• Petri Net-based Digital Design
