• design of control systems 
• discrete event systems 
• distributed parameter systems 
• economic and financial Systems 
• estimation and filtering 
• hybrid systems 
• human interaction 
• identification and observation 
• information-based control 
• intelligent systems 
• iterative learning control 
• model-predictive control 
• multi-agent systems 
• networked control 
• optimal control 
• power & water management

IJC encourages original submissions in these and other related control areas. The journal will consider regular papers, survey papers with no page limit and technical notes. Responses to articles and correspondence will also be considered at the Editor-in-Chief’s discretion.
 
Proposals for Special issues in cutting-edge areas of control science and engineering are strongly encouraged, and should be discussed in the first instance with the Editor-in-Chief.
 
All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to rigorous and rapid peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
 
Queries regarding submissions can be made by contacting the Editor-in-Chief, whose decision is final.
Development engineers and research workers in industrial automatic control. Research workers and students in automatic control and systems science in universities. Teachers of advanced automatic control in universities. Applied mathematicians and physicists working in automatic control and systems analysis. Development and research workers in fields where automatic control is applied. 

All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
