Control Engineering Practice

期刊简介：Control Engineering Practice strives to meet the needs of industrial practitioners and industrially related academics and researchers. It publishes papers which illustrate the direct application of control theory and its supporting tools in all possible areas of automation. As a result, the journal only contains papers which can be considered to have made significant contributions to the application of advanced control techniques. It is normally expected that practical results should be included, but where simulation only studies are available, it is necessary to demonstrate that the simulation model is representative of a genuine application. Strictly theoretical papers will find a more appropriate home in Control Engineering Practice's sister publication, Automatica. It is also expected that papers are innovative with respect to the state of the art and are sufficiently detailed for a reader to be able to duplicate the main results of the paper (supplementary material, including datasets, tables, code and any relevant interactive material can be made available and downloaded from the website). The benefits of the presented methods must be made very clear and the new techniques must be compared and contrasted with results obtained using existing methods. Moreover, a thorough analysis of failures that may happen in the design process and implementation can also be part of the paper.The scope of Control Engineering Practice matches the activities of IFAC.Papers demonstrating the contribution of automation and control in improving the performance, quality, productivity, sustainability, resource and energy efficiency, and the manageability of systems and processes for the benefit of mankind and are relevant to industrial practitioners are most welcome.

【译文】《控制工程实践》致力于满足工业实践者和与工业相关的学者及研究人员的需求。它发表的文章展示了控制理论及其支持工具在所有可能的自动化领域的直接应用。因此，该期刊只包含那些可以被认为是为高级控制技术的应用做出了重大贡献的文章。通常期望包括实际结果，但仅当有模拟研究时，有必要证明模拟模型代表了真正的应用。严格理论性的文章将在《控制工程实践》的姐妹出版物《自动控制》中找到更合适的位置。还期望文章在现有技术的基础上具有创新性，并且足够详细，以便读者能够复制文章的主要结果（包括数据集、表格、代码和任何相关交互材料的补充材料可以从网站上获取和下载）。所提出的方法的好处必须非常明确，并且新的技术必须与使用现有方法获得的结果进行比较和对比。此外，对设计过程中可能发生的故障的彻底分析也可以是论文的一部分。控制工程实践的范围与IFAC的活动相匹配。展示自动化和控制对提高性能、质量、生产力、可持续性、资源能源效率以及人类系统和流程的可管理性做出贡献的文章，对工业实践者来说非常受欢迎。
