Process Control and Monitoring
A section of Processes (ISSN 2227-9717).
Section Information
The Control and Monitoring section of Processes welcomes high-quality manuscripts concerning control and monitoring methodologies, including related topics such as simulation, modeling, identification, and optimization, for solving problems related to process systems engineering. This section encourages submissions focusing on novel methodologies and their analysis, including applications using novel and existing methodologies.
All submissions in this section should relate directly to process systems engineering within the aims and scope of the journal Processes (chemistry, biology, materials, and allied engineering fields). Contributions that are purely computational in nature without a clear relationship to the aims and scope of this section will not be accepted. To facilitate the rapid, open exchange of knowledge, all authors are strongly encouraged (but not required) to submit any associated source code, models, simulations, software, and data either as supplementary material and/or to an open-access repository such as LAPSE (the Living Archive for Process Systems Engineering).
