Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue would aim simultaneously at purely academic solutions as well as practical industrial approaches. Control theory, especially advanced fault-tolerant control or optimal control, is seen by researchers from a different angle than that from which the industry practitioners see it. Collecting papers from a variety of sources and with a variety of perspectives, and looking on the other side, will be beneficial for academic researchers and industry engineers as well. The main focus would be modern control methods, sensors, and actuators’ fault detection and diagnosis, either in simulations, laboratory stands or full-size plants. Reviews and surveys would also be welcome. Optimal control and hybrid methods have also recently been exploited. In addition, a hardware-centric point of view would be an interesting perspective, as many promising methods require much more computational power than is widely available in industrial plants. Therefore, optimization methods for existing approaches can also find a place in this Special Issue.
The Special Issue aims to become a bridge between Sensors and Actuators, and both the authors and the journal themselves will benefit from the scopes of both journals. Modern control methods cover a variety of issues, starting from sensors’ fault diagnosis, through proper actuators’ control and fault diagnosis, to process discrepancies robustness. Control engineering clearly covers the scopes of both Journals.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Actuators and Sensors.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Actuators is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
