Aims & Scope

The Control Theory and Technology publishes high-quality papers on original, theoretical and experimental research and development in the area of systems and control, including all aspects of control theory and its applications. Its function is to provide a forum for domestic, as well as international, scientists and engineers in this field to exchange their knowledge and experiences. Articles for submission may be survey papers, or reviews on well established or newly emerging research topics, techniques, etc.; or regular papers which describe new well developed theoretical results or applications; or brief papers which present new techniques, concepts, perspectives, etc.Among the topics of interests areNonlinear systems and controlCyber-physical systemsIdentification and estimationOptimal control and optimizationRobust and H-infinity controlAdaptive and learning controlCooperative systemsStability and stabilizationDistributed parameter systemsHybrid systems and DEDSLarge scale systemsNetworked control systemsAutonomous systemsFault diagnosisCIMS and manufacturing systemsInformation processing systemsSystems biologyMulti-agent systemsMotion controlIntelligent controlPower systemsEnvironmental and bio-engineering systemsHuman-machine systemsIntelligent transportation systemsSocial networksEconomic systemsApplications in various fields
