The Asian Journal of Control, an Asian Control Association (ACA) and Chinese Automatic Control Society (CACS) affiliated journal, is the first international journal originating from the Asia Pacific region. The Asian Journal of Control publishes papers on original theoretical and practical research and developments in the areas of control, involving all facets of control theory and its application.Published six times a year, the Journal aims to be a key platform for control communities throughout the world.The Journal provides a forum where control researchers and practitioners can exchange knowledge and experiences on the latest advances in the control areas, and plays an educational role for students and experienced researchers in other disciplines interested in this continually growing field. The scope of the journal is extensive.Topics include:The theory and design of control systems and components, encompassing:Robust and distributed control using geometric, optimal, stochastic and nonlinear methodsGame theory and state estimationAdaptive control, including neural networks, learning, parameter estimationand system fault detectionArtificial intelligence, fuzzy and expert systemsHierarchical and man-machine systemsAll parts of systems engineering which consider the reliability of components and systemsEmerging application areas, such as:RoboticsMechatronicsComputers for computer-aided design, manufacturing, and control ofvarious industrial processesSpace vehicles and aircraft, ships, and trafficBiomedical systemsNational economiesPower systemsAgricultureNatural resources.
