Postprints of papers presented at the September 1994 workshop. The volume is divided into sections covering real-time communication architectures, temporal properties of communication systems, architectures for DCCS, open and heterogeneous DCCS, specification and design methods for DCCS, system issues, performance issues, and applications.

One of the most important issues in the development of distributed computer control systems is the ability to build software and hardware which is both reliable and time deterministic; this is an area where control engineering and computer science naturally meet.
This publication brings together the latest key papers on research and development in this field, allowing cross-fertilization between the two engineering disciplines involved and allowing both academics and industrial practitioners to find new insights and learn from each other's views.
