Journals in Control theory

  • European Journal of Control

    • ISSN: 0947-3580
    The European Control Association (EUCA) has among its objectives to promote the development of the discipline. Apart from the European Control Conferences, the European Journal of Control is the Association's main channel for the dissemination of important contributions in the field.The aim of the Journal is to publish high quality papers on the theory and practice of control and systems engineering.The scope of the Journal will be wide and cover all aspects of the discipline including methodologies, techniques and applications.Researc... in control and systems engineering is necessary to develop new concepts and tools which enhance our understanding and improve our ability to design and implement high performance control systems. Submitted papers should stress the practical motivations and relevance of their results.The design and implementation of a successful control system requires the use of a range of techniques:Modelling...

  • Annual Reviews in Control

    • ISSN: 1367-5788
    A journal of IFAC, the International Federation of Automatic ControlThe field of Control is changing very fast now with technology-driven “societal grand challenges” and with the deployment of new digital technologies. 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 interoperate cooperatively providing broader capabilities than available from individual systems. Such considerations apply in many different domains including transportation, health care, energy and water management, smart cities, defense and security, social services, manufacturing systems, supply chains and more. The design of such systems requires understanding the joint dynamics of computers, software, networks, physical, chemical, biological processes and human-in-the-loop.Th... aim of Annual Reviews in Control is to provide comprehensive and visionary views of the field via the publication of high-impact review articles.For more details on the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC), visit their home page.

  • Automatica

    • ISSN: 0005-1098
    A journal of IFAC, the International Federation of Automatic Control, Automatica is a leading archival publication in the field of systems and control. The field today encompasses a broad set of areas and topics, and is thriving not only within itself but also in terms of its impact on other fields, such as communications, computers, biology, energy and economics. After being founded in 1963, Automatica became a journal of the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) in 1969. Since its inception, Automatica has kept abreast with the evolution of the field over the years, and has emerged as a leading publication driving the trends in the field.Automatica features a characteristic blend of theoretical and applied papers of archival, lasting value, reporting cutting edge research results by authors across the globe. It features articles in distinct categories, including regular, brief and survey papers, technical communiqués, correspondence items, as well as reviews on published books of interest to the readership. It occasionally publishes special issues on emerging new topics or established mature topics of interest to a broad audience.Automatica solicits original high-quality contributions in all the categories listed above, and in all areas of systems and control interpreted in a broad sense and evolving constantly. Papers should be submitted using the on-line review management system Pampus www.autsubmit.com.

  • Journal of Process Control

    • ISSN: 0959-1524
    A journal of IFAC, the International Federation of Automatic ControlThis international journal covers the application of control theory, operations research, computer science and engineering principles to the solution of process control problems. In addition to the traditional chemical processing and manufacturing applications, the scope of process control problems involves a wide range of applications that includes energy processes, nano-technology, systems biology, bio-medical engineering, pharmaceutical processing technology, energy storage and conversion, smart grid, and data analytics among others.Papers on the theory in these areas will also be accepted provided the theoretical contribution is aimed at the application and the development of process control techniques.Topics covered include:• Control applications• Process monitoring• Plant-wide control• Process control systems• Control techniques and algorithms• Process modelling and simulation• Design methodsAdvanced design methods exclude well established and widely studied traditional design techniques such as PID tuning and its many variants. Applications in fields such as control of automotive engines, machinery and robotics are not deemed suitable unless a clear motivation for the relevance to process control is provided.For more details on the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC), access their home page.

  • Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence

    • ISSN: 0952-1976
    A journal of IFAC, The International Federation of Automatic Control. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing a major role in the fourth industrial revolution, and we are seeing a lot of evolution in various machine learning methodologies. AI techniques are widely used by the practicing engineer to solve a whole range of hitherto intractable problems. Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence provides an international forum for rapid publication of work describing the practical application of AI methods in all branches of engineering. Submitted papers should report novel aspects of AI used for a real-world engineering application and also validated using public data sets for easy replicability of the research results.Focal points of the journal include, but are not limited to, innovative applications of:Internet–of–thing... and cyber-physical systemsIntelligent transportation systems & smart vehiclesBig data analytics, understanding complex networksNeural networks, fuzzy systems, neuro-fuzzy systemsDeep learning and real-world applicationsSelf-org... emerging or bio-inspired systemGlobal optimization, Meta-heuristics and their applications: Evolutionary Algorithms, swarm intelligence, nature and biologically inspired meta-heuristics, etc.Architectures, algorithms and techniques for distributed AI systems, including multi-agent based control and holonic controlDecision-supp... systemsAspects of reasoning: abductive, case-based, model-based, non-monotonic, incomplete, progressive and approximate reasoningApplication... of chaos theory and fractalsReal-time intelligent automation, and their associated supporting methodologies and techniques, including control theory and industrial informaticsKnowledge processing, knowledge elicitation and acquisition, knowledge representation, knowledge compaction, knowledge bases, expert systemsPerception, e.g. image processing, pattern recognition, vision systems, tactile systems, speech recognition and synthesisAspects of software engineering, e.g. intelligent programming environments, verification and validation of AI-based software, software and hardware architectures for the real-time use of AI techniques, safety and reliabilityIntellige... fault detection, fault analysis, diagnostics and monitoringIndustrial experiences in the application of the above techniques, e.g. case studies or benchmarking exercisesRoboticsPap... which do not respect the four following conditions will be desk-rejected without being sent for peer review:Papers on new metaphor-based metaheuristics are very rarely accepted by Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence (please see further details in the ‘Article types’ section of the Guide for Authors)The abstract should clearly specify which is the contribution in AI, and which is the application in engineeringThe use of undefined acronyms in the title and in the abstract is forbiddenThe papers must be formatted in single-column formatFor more details on the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC), visit their home page.
