Systems and control studies provide a unifying framework for a wide range of engineering disciplines and industrial applications. The Journal of Systems and Control Engineering reflects this diversity by giving prominence to experimental application and industrial studies. Due weight is also given to new theoretical developments which are likely to provide the foundation for future applications. The scope includes the following topics: System modelling and identification; flight control and surveillance systems; Computer control, process control; controller and system design methods; simulation; adaptive control; robotics; measurement systems; condition monitoring; mechatronics; intelligent control; actuators; machine systems, fluid power systems; modelling and control of engines and transmission systems; smart materials.
