New journal: Intelligent Control Systems
Intelligent Control Systems is an international, peer-reviewed, and open-access journal dedicated to publishing original and high-impact research across the theoretical and applied frontiers of intelligent control. The journal aims to be the premier scholarly venue and an indispensable resource for the global research community, serving both academia and industry by disseminating foundational advances and inspiring the future trajectory of autonomous and intelligent systems.
Intelligent control constitutes the foundational discipline that enables engineered systems to achieve autonomy, adaptability, and sophisticated decision-making capabilities. It is built upon the deep convergence of control theory, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computational intelligence. This synergy is critical for the development of next-generation cyber-physical systems, autonomous robotics, resilient industrial automation, and adaptive infrastructure networks. Key advances in areas, such as learning-based control, data-driven modeling, distributed multi-agent coordination, and verifiable artificial intelligence, directly enable transformative applications. These span intelligent transportation systems, smart grids with high renewable penetration, precision biomedical interventions, and resilient manufacturing ecosystems. The interdisciplinary fusion of control science with computer science, electrical engineering, and domain-specific fields is pivotal to solving grand challenges in safety-critical automation, resource optimization, and human-machine symbiosis.
In essence, intelligent control systems not only enhance the capabilities of traditional automation but also create autonomous systems with perception, learning, and strategic decision-making in complex and uncertain environments, thereby playing a pivotal role in technological advancement and societal progress.
Intelligent Control Systems will embrace all significant advances in foundational theoretical breakthroughs, pioneering algorithmic innovations, integrative systems engineering, and translational real-world deployments, encompassing both the fundamental and the transformative.
Intelligent Control Systems is led by an international editorial team of distinguished and actively researching scholars, who are recognized leaders in their respective subfields and bring substantial editorial expertise.
