SPECIAL ISSUES
The Journal of Systems and Control Engineering has an active Special Issues programme, with future Special Issues including: 'Production Automation and Control', 'Research and Education in Mechatronics', 'Energy Harvesting' and 'Human Adaptive Mechatronics'. If you have an idea for a paper for any of these Special Issues please send your suggestions to the Managing Editor.
2009, Vol. 223
Dynamics and Control of Parallel Manipulators, issue I1. Guest Edited by Mehmet N Sahinkaya and Andrew R Plummer.
Industrial demand for programmable machines which can manipulate objects in 3D space continues to grow. Parallel manipulators have many advantages for applications as diverse as medical robotics and automated packaging, and interest in parallel manipulators is increasing, both commercially and amongst academic research groups.
2008, Vol. 222
Stochastic Process Modelling and Control, issue I7. Guest Edited by Mingcong Deng, Akira Inoue and Hong Wang.
This special issue presents some of the recently established methods and topics in the modelling and control for practical stochastic systems. Applications covered include networked control systems, large-scale oscillator networks and non-linear stochastic systems, among others.
Active Flow Control, issue I5. Guest Edited by Steve Daley.
The practical realization of active flow control requires research in a range of disciplines that include, novel actuator and sensor design, aerodynamics, advanced modelling and simulation and control algorithm design.
