The Journal of Dynamic Systems, Measurement, and Control publishes theoretical and applied original papers in the traditional areas implied by its name, as well as papers in interdisciplinary areas. Theoretical papers should present new theoretical developments and knowledge for controls of dynamical systems together with clear engineering motivation for the new theory. New theory or results that are only of mathematical interest without a clear engineering motivation or have a cursory relevance only are discouraged. "Application" is understood to include modeling, simulation of realistic systems, and corroboration of theory with emphasis on demonstrated practicality.

Journal of Dynamical and Control Systems presents peer-reviewed survey and original research articles which examine the entire spectrum of issues related to dynamical systems, focusing on the theory of smooth dynamical systems with analyses of measure-theoretical, topological, and bifurcational aspects. The journal covers all essential branches of the theory - local, semilocal, and global - including the theory of foliations. Control systems coverage spotlights the geometric control theory, which unifies Lie-algebraic and differential-geometric methods of investigation in control and optimization, and ultimately relates to the general theory of dynamical systems, in particular, sub-Riemannian geometry is covered. Additional authoritative contributions describe ongoing investigations and innovative solutions to unsolved problems. Detailed reviews of newly published books relevant to future studies in the field are also included. Journal of Dynamical and Control Systems will serve as a highly useful reference for mathematicians, students, and researchers interested in the many facets of dynamical and control systems.

The paradigm for the next generation of information systems (ISs) will involve large numbers of ISs distributed over large, complex computer/communication networks. Such ISs will manage or have access to large amounts of information and computing services and will interoperate as required. These support individual or collaborative human work. Communication among component systems will be done using protocols that range from conventional ones to those based on distributed AI. We call such next generation ISs Cooperative Information Systems (CIS). The International Journal of Cooperative Information Systems (IJCIS) addresses the intricacies of cooperative work in the framework of distributed interoperable information systems. It provides a forum for the presentation and dissemination of research covering all aspects of CIS design, requirements, functionality, implementation, deployment, and evolution.
