Control and Automation, Volume II

Dear Colleagues,

A wide range of ongoing work in the areas of controller design and information engineering reveals that the pace of technological change in this domain seems to be accelerating. The focus is on futuristic segments ranging from robotics and genomics to chemical feedstock and electrical storage.

The primary objective of this Special Issue is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange their latest theoretical and technological achievements and to identify critical issues and challenges for future investigation on the advanced automation and control techniques based on information system technologies. The submitted papers are expected to bring up original ideas and potential contributions for theory and practice. However, topics include but are not limited to the following research areas:

•  Frontiers in control engineering;
•  Advanced control of industrial processes;
•  Fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control;
•  Modeling and control in biochemical and medical systems;
•  Advanced software engineering in automation;
•  Artificial intelligence-based control.
