This international journal covers the application of control theory, operations research, computer science and engineering principles to the solution of process control problems. Papers on the theory in these areas will also be accepted provided the theoretical contribution is aimed at process control.Topics covered include: Control applications Plant monitoring Plant-wide control Process control systems Control techniques and algorithms Process modelling and simulation Design methodsFor more details on the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC), access their home page at http://www.ifac-control.org
