This special issue presents a selection of papers mainly presented at the CESA’06 (Computational Engineering in Systems Applications) held 4-6/10/2006 in Beijing, China. CESA is a conference dedicated to the modelling, analysis and control of manufacturing systems. It attracts both academics and industrials involved in research and applications of discrete event systems, hybrid systems and real-time systems. The aim of CESA conference is to create synergies of techniques originated from control scientists and computer scientists. It reflects the state-of-the-art contributions in the computation engineering in systems applications.
