Systems & Control Engineering
A section of Electronics (ISSN 2079-9292).
Section Information
The Systems and Controls section provides the field of electrical and computer engineering a unified paradigm for designing controllers in a variety of application domains. Initially developed in the context of electrical engineering, this dynamic field has come to represent an essential enabling and supporting technology for a wide range of sectors (energy, transport, manufacturing, biology, defense, robotics …).
This section is devoted to publishing focused articles related to control aspects of electronics and engineering systems, more specifically including theoretical developments and applications of control engineering as embedded control systems, mechatronics, smart systems, power systems, electrical circuits, computer science, for the enhancement of electronics systems and processes. All submissions are subject to a peer-review process. We encourage the submission of original contributions derived from theoretical and/or application-oriented research studies.
