The field of Control is changing very fast now, with new themes, buzzwords and technology-driven "grand challenges". Indeed, increasingly both economic developments and societal needs depend upon collections of diverse systems working together to provide needed services, comfort, health, safety and security. Consequently, there is an increasing demand for methodological and technical approaches which allow multiple, independent, heterogeneous systems to operate cooperatively to provide broader capabilities than are available from individual systems. Such considerations apply in a large number of different domains including, transportation, health care, energy and water management, smart cities, defense, social services, manufacturing supply chains and more. The design of such systems requires understanding the joint dynamics of computers, software, networks, physical, chemical and biological processes and human in the loop.

Systems and control studies provide a unifying framework for a wide range of engineering disciplines and industrial applications. The Journal of Systems and Control Engineering refleSystems and control studies provide a unifying framework for a wide range of engineering disciplines and industrial applications. The Journal of Systems and Control Engineering reflects this diversity by giving prominence to experimental application and industrial studies. "It is clear from the feedback we receive that the Journal is now recognised as one of the leaders in its field. We are particularly interested in highlighting experimental applications and industrial studies, but also new theoretical developments which are likely to provide the foundation for future applications. In 2009, we launched a new Series of "Forward Look" papers written by leading researchers and practitioners. These short articles are intended to be provocative and help to set the agenda for future developments. We continue to strive for fast decision times and minimum delays in the production processes." Professor Cliff Burrows - University of Bath, UK This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).cts this diversity by giving prominence to experimental application and industrial studies.

International Journal of Automation Technology is a leading international peer-reviewed journal publishing original research, clinical updates, and reviews indexed in Clarivate Web of Science (SCIE) with Q4 quartile ranking.

This international journal publishes both theoretical and application-oriented papers on various aspects of mechatronic systems, modelling, design, conventional and intelligent control, and intelligent systems. Application areas of mechatronics may include robotics, transportation, energy systems, manufacturing, sensors, actuators, and automation. Techniques of artificial intelligence may include soft computing (fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms/evolutionary computing, probabilistic methods, etc.). Techniques may cover frequency and time domains, linear and nonlinear systems, and deterministic and stochastic processes. Hybrid techniques of mechatronics that combine conventional and intelligent methods are also included. First published in 1972, this journal originated with an emphasis on conventional control systems and computer-based applications. Subsequently, with rapid advances in the field and in view of the widespread interest and application of soft computing in control systems, this latter aspect was integrated into the journal. Now the area of mechatronics is included as the main focus. A unique feature of the journal is its pioneering role in bridging the gap between conventional systems and intelligent systems, with an equal emphasis on theory and practical applications, including system modelling, design and instrumentation. It appears four times per year.

Most of the research and experiments in the fields of science, engineering, and social studies have spent significant efforts to find rules from various complicated phenomena by observations, recorded data, logic derivations, and so on. The rules are normally summarised as concise and quantitative expressions or “models". “Identification" provides mechanisms to establish the models and “control" provides mechanisms to improve the system (represented by its model) performance. IJMIC is set up to reflect the relevant generic studies in this area.
