Advanced Control Systems and Applications, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

With the development and progress of technology, advanced control systems have been continuously introduced and applied in various fields, becoming an effective means to improve system performance and optimize production processes. Academic research on advanced control system design has shifted to solving challenging application problems. Many rather abstract theoretical tools seem to play an important role in practical application problems, but the design steps remain obscure. There are great challenges in implementing advanced control systems in practical applications, including finding a way to tune advanced controllers to attain quality performance in a reasonable time frame and finding a robust solution. This Special Issue focuses on new technologies that can solve these problems arising in the field of applied control, and it is hoped that the Special Issue will attract some of the latest contributions in advanced control system design.

The aim of the present Special Issue is to create a platform for experts, professionals, and readers interested in topics related to advanced control systems and applications. Specific topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Industrial internet-based control;
• Advanced control theory;
• Nonlinear control;
• Neural network control;
• Fuzzy control;
• Adaptive control;
• Iterative learning control;
• Data-driven control;
• Mechatronics;
• Robotic control;
• Automobile control;
• Nanopositioning control
• Aerospace applications;
• Passive and active vibration control;
• Bio-medical applications.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
