Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Most engineering problems existing in process control, industry production and manufacturing systems can be modeled as nonlinear systems or stochastic systems. Linear systems are ideal mathematical models which can be viewed as an approximation of nonlinear systems. Nonlinear systems control, compared with that of linear systems, has more applications in practice and exhibits more complexity in the theoretical analysis. In addition, as it is well known that randomness inevitably exists in various engineering fields, such as process control, fault detection, mathematical finance and systems biology, so stochastic control has become one of the most popular research areas.
Although nonlinear control and stochastic control have attracted the attention of many scholars and made great progress in recent years, there still exist many new and challenging issues in aspects of both theory and application, which cover the fields of process control, food production and processing, fault estimation, manufacturing systems, power systems, system stability and stabilization, etc. All these topics merit further study in terms of both theory and application.
This Special Issue “Advances in Nonlinear and Stochastic System Controls” will focus on the theory development and engineering applications of nonlinear/stochastic control systems. The following topics are welcome, though submissions are not limited to these:
- Stability, stabilization and optimization in nonlinear systems and stochastic systems;
- Modelling, simulation and identification in process supervision, process optimization and process control;
- Nonlinear variable structure and sliding mode controller designs;
- New theories and approaches in the study of nonlinear/stochastic systems, including adaptive control, robust control, fuzzy control, model-free control, reinforcement learning, etc.;
- Applications of various nonlinear and stochastic control theories to food production and processing, finance, economics, insurance, online estimate, manufacturing systems, fault detection, networked control systems, power systems, etc.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
