DIPES is a bi–annual international conference which aims to present significant research on models, methods, tools and applications in the area of distributed embedded systems. Embedded systems have become a key technological component of all kinds of complex technical systems, ranging from telecommunications devices to automobiles, aircraft and even complete production lines. Traditionally, such embedded control systems have been implemented in a monolithic, centralized manner, but distributed solutions have steadily been gaining popularity. In a distributed setup, the control task is carried out by a number of controllers distributed over the entire system and interconnected as a network by communication components such as field buses. The individual nodes of such a network usually consist of a processor (microcontroller) together with some sensors and actuators. More demanding local control applications require more powerful controllers based on parallel architectures such as VLIW, or processors with dedicated co–processors. Distribution and parallelism in embedded system design increase the engineering challenges and demand new development methods and tools. Also, the increasing relevance of intelligent applications like autonomous systems or systems with self–x properties calls for new design methods and tools. Due to the growing complexity of these kinds of embedded systems, their development requires new, consistent and integrated design methodologies, covering the path from specification to implementation. <b>Keywords:</b> Specification and modelling of complex embedded systems<br>Design methodology for distributed and parallel embedded systems<br>Web based design of embedded systems<br>Design support for intelligent features in embedded systems<br>Distributed simulation and formal verification of embedded systems<br>Novel programming techniques for distributed real–time systems<br>Self–x properties in distributed embedded systems<br>Partitioning and allocation of tasks<br>Distributed real–time operating systems<br>Real–time communication systems<br>Software synthesis for real–time applications<br>Mixed continuous/discrete systems<br>HW/SW co–design for distributed embedded systems<br>Specific (parallel) architectures for distributed embedded systems<br>Dependability and fault tolerance of distributed embedded systems<br>Low power design of embedded systems<br>Case studies of distributed embedded systems<br>
