Automatic Control and System Theory and Advanced Applications

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue follows the publication of the first edition on “Automatic Control and System Theory”. It still aims to explore new topics and new ideas in automatic control and system theory, including also advanced applications.

Authors are invited to submit contributions that focus on innovative schemes, innovative applications, and new theories in automatic control and system theory. Moreover, unsolved problems in mathematical systems and control theory is a fundamental topic for control scientists. The potential authors of the papers of this Special Issue can also take into account their contributions to propose new unsolved problems. They could take, as a reference, the book edited by Vincent Blondel and Alexandre Megretski in 2004 to have a view of the unsolved problems considered at that year.

Authors are, therefore, invited to make efforts to be visionaries and to propose papers not usually found in automatic control journals; moreover, their efforts should also be addressed at focalizing new aspects of mathematics of systems.

Papers that discuss how to improve the educational aspects of automatic control and system theory will be welcome. Multidisciplinary papers emphasizing integration among control theory, human sciences, and history will also be considered.

Dr. Arturo Buscarino

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Inventions is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
