Advances on Automatic Control and Soft Computing from 15th APCA International Conference CONTROLO’2022

Dear Colleagues,

Nowadays there are several challenges related to automatic control systems, both from a theoretical point of view and from the point of view of real applications.

In the current context of industry 4.0, it is mandatory to develop advanced control methodologies, using optimization techniques, in order to improve the performance of processes and systems, trying to reduce operating costs.

This Topic is intended to share the state of the art of emerging approaches and novel techniques to find optimal solutions for open problems in the area of automatic control systems, namely: modeling, identification and simulation of dynamic systems, nonlinear systems, controllers design, fault detection and diagnosis approaches, fault tolerant control methodologies, among other related themes. 

This Topic has a wide field of application areas, such as: process control, vehicle control, industrial automation, robotics, among others. Original contributions, including experimental validation, are expected. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Cyber-Physical Systems
• Internet-of-Things
• Modeling and simulation
• Advanced control algorithms
• Nonlinear systems
• Optimization
• Fault detection and diagnosis
• Fault tolerant control
