Control of Nonlinear Systems and Industrial Processes

Dear Colleagues,

Most technologies and processes, through their interactions, laws, and dynamics, present a nonlinear behavior. The nonlinearities have a stronger impact with the increase in the system’s complexity and dynamics. In these circumstances, the role of nonlinear control in industrial processes becomes more and more crucial.

The abstract representation through nonlinear system modeling offers an important field of research based on the support provided by mathematics, modern systems theory, as well as the development of digital systems and their joint computational assets. These essential tools operate with data, hardware, and software resources, in order to find practical solutions in different applications and to contribute to the development of innovative management strategies for industrial systems and processes.

This Special Issue on “Control of Nonlinear Systems and Industrial Processes”, part of the Electronics MDPI Journal, offers a framework for the presentation of scientific research that brings interesting and relevant contributions in the field of nonlinear control systems and control of industrial processes.

At the same time, the journal provides opportunities for the authors, researchers, and specialists, to offer and to promote their recent developments and relevant results in nonlinear control theory and process control design, applied to different domains with technical and industrial interest, for example, energy, transport, automotive, chemistry and petrochemistry, aerospace, biotechnology, telecommunications, etc.

The journal invites original submissions addressing subjects regarding system stability, control robustness, high computational performance and design for nonlinear systems, issues that arise in process exploitation, aiming at control and management of real-time practical applications, by means of advanced control methods, artificial intelligence or machine learning resources.

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. Electronics 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.
