Control Theory and Applications

This book series is envisaged to add to the scholarly discourse on high-quality books in all areas related to control theory and applications. The book series provides a forum for the control scientists and engineers to exchange related knowledge and experience on contemporary research and development in control and automation. This includes aircraft control, adaptive control, sliding mode control, evolutionary control, fuzzy theory and control, robotic manipulators, and even control applications in areas such as the Internet of Things and Big Data. The scope includes all aspects of control engineering needed to implement practical control systems, from analysis and design, through simulation and hardware, with a special emphasis on bridging the gap between theory and practice. It aims to explore the latest research findings and provide attention to emerging topics in control theory and its applications to diverse domains of engineering and technology, to expand the knowledge base and applications of this rapidly evolving and interdisciplinary field. The series will include textbooks, references, handbooks, and short-form books.
