Abstract

Discrete-Event System Theory (DES) allows the automatic control of a system with respect to a specification describing desirable sequences of events. It offers a large body of work with strong theoretical results and tool support. In this paper, we advocate the application of DES to software engineering problems. We summarize preliminary results and provide a list of directions for future research.
