A Journal of IFAC, the
International Federation of Automatic Control
ISSN: 0005-1098
6 issues a year
 Description
.Automatica
publishes papers on original theoretical and experimental research and
development in the control of systems, involving all facets of automatic
control theory and its applications. Preferably, theoretical papers should
include applications; papers dealing with components and systems should include
theoretical background and, where appropriate, economic
implications.
It is intended to publish only those papers, including
those based on IFAC meeting presentations, which may be regarded as new,
worthwhile contributions in this field. Papers should be intelligible to the
general body of control engineers, which requires that specialized techniques,
terminology and acronyms be well defined and/or referenced.
Automatica has a tradition of publishing definitive papers
covering a topic in depth, papers which are referred to for many years. For
such papers the length requirements may be relaxed at the discretion of the
Editor-in-Chief.
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 methods, game theory and state estimation;
adaptive control, including robotics, neural networks, parameter estimation and
system fault detection; additional topics including artificial intelligence,
fuzzy and expert systems, hierarchical and man-machine systems, all parts of
systems engineering which consider the reliability of components and systems;
data processing; and computers for computer-aided design, manufacturing, and
control of various industrial processes, space vehicles and aircraft, ships,
traffic, biomedical systems, national economies, power systems, agriculture and
natural resources.
Submitted articles may be Survey Papers (extensive
reviews of established or emerging research topics or application areas),
Papers (detailed discussions involving new research, applications or
developments), Brief Papers (brief presentations of new technical concepts and
developments), Technical Communiques (new useful ideas and brief pertinent
comments of a technical nature), and Correspondence (Letters to the Editor
about the journal or to authors commenting on previously published papers. In
the latter case, the Editor will give the authors an opportunity to respond).
The journal also publishes the following features: Special Issues on the
subject of increasing importance, Tutorial Papers, Book Reviews and Software
Reviews.
