Scope

The ‘Networked Control’ section of Frontiers in Control Engineering seeks to provide an outlet for technical papers on advances in the field of control systems and control technology with a particular focus on networked control. It aims at speedy, online publication of original, peer-reviewed papers in all established and newly emerging areas of control theory and applications encompassing modeling, identification, estimation, analysis, design, optimization, and implementation of networked control systems.

Networked control, for its fundamental interest and practical importance, has been widely regarded as a key enabling and transformative technology for the next-generation engineering systems. Notable applications of the networked control theory include, e.g., industrial control systems, manufacturing systems, intelligent transportation, distributed sensor networks, and more broadly, cyber physical systems and Internet of Things (IoT). In light of its seemingly unlimited promise, and with today’s omnipresent and ever-expanding IT technology and infrastructure, the theory and applications of networked control are rapidly growing and expanding to other emerging areas of significance.

Subject areas include but are not limited to:
•  Control analysis and design: networked control, cooperative and distributed control
•  Event-triggered control, control over complex networks, learning-enabled networked control
•  Systems theory: multi-agent systems, cyber-physical systems, cyber-physical systems security and privacy.
•  Information and control: control of communication networks, control over communication networks, interplay of information and control.
