The European Control Association (EUCA) has among its objectives to promote the development of the discipline. Apart from the European Control Conferences, the European Journal of Control is the Association's main channel for the dissemination of important contributions in the field.The aim of the Journal is to publish high quality papers on the theory and practice of control and systems engineering.The scope of the Journal will be wide and cover all aspects of the discipline including methodologies, techniques and applications.Research in control and systems engineering is necessary to develop new concepts and tools which enhance our understanding and improve our ability to design and implement high performance control systems. Submitted papers should stress the practical motivations and relevance of their results.The design and implementation of a successful control system requires the use of a range of techniques:ModellingRobustness AnalysisIdentificationOptimizationControl Law DesignNumerical analysisFault Detection, and so on.Papers dealing with the interplay between such techniques will be particularly welcome.Applications papers which emphasize methodology used, implementation and commissioning issues are strongly encouraged.The Journal will also publish tutorial expositions and state-of-the-art reviews. Interested authors for this type of paper should first contact the Editor in Chief and submit an extended summary of approximately 2000 words.The European Journal of Control wishes to encourage (when appropriate) reviewers, editors and authors to participate in discussion sections at the end of published papers. There is no standard format for a discussion section, but its contents should serve to help the readership. For example, views could be expressed on the contribution of the paper in a particular area, its likely impact on industrial practice could be described, or directions for further work suggested. Whatever format the discussion takes, it will be concluded by the author(s). Invitations to participate in the discussion will only be sent out after the paper has been accepted, and all contributors will appear in the issues Table of Contents.

歐洲控制協(xié)會(huì)（EUCA）的目標(biāo)之一是促進(jìn)該學(xué)科的發(fā)展。除歐洲控制會(huì)議外，《歐洲控制雜志》是該協(xié)會(huì)在該領(lǐng)域傳播重要貢獻(xiàn)的主要渠道。這本雜志的目的是發(fā)表關(guān)于控制和系統(tǒng)工程的理論和實(shí)踐的高質(zhì)量論文。該期刊的范圍很廣，涵蓋了該學(xué)科的所有方面，包括方法、技術(shù)和應(yīng)用?？刂坪拖到y(tǒng)工程的研究對于開發(fā)新的概念和工具是必要的，這些概念和工具可以增強(qiáng)我們對高性能控制系統(tǒng)的理解，提高我們設(shè)計(jì)和實(shí)施高性能控制系統(tǒng)的能力。提交的論文應(yīng)強(qiáng)調(diào)其結(jié)果的實(shí)際動(dòng)機(jī)和相關(guān)性。成功控制系統(tǒng)的設(shè)計(jì)和實(shí)現(xiàn)需要使用一系列技術(shù)：建模穩(wěn)健性分析識別優(yōu)化控制律設(shè)計(jì)數(shù)值分析故障檢測等。關(guān)于這些技術(shù)之間相互作用的論文將特別受歡迎。強(qiáng)烈鼓勵(lì)使用強(qiáng)調(diào)方法、實(shí)施和調(diào)試問題的應(yīng)用文件。該雜志還將出版教程說明和最新評論。對于這類論文感興趣的作者應(yīng)首先與主編聯(lián)系，并提交大約2000字的擴(kuò)展摘要。《歐洲控制雜志》希望鼓勵(lì)（適當(dāng)時(shí)）審稿人、編輯和作者在發(fā)表論文的最后參與討論部分。討論部分沒有標(biāo)準(zhǔn)格式，但其內(nèi)容應(yīng)該有助于讀者。例如，可以就論文在某一特定領(lǐng)域的貢獻(xiàn)發(fā)表意見，描述其對工業(yè)實(shí)踐的可能影響，或建議進(jìn)一步工作的方向。無論討論采用何種形式，作者都會(huì)得出結(jié)論。參加討論的邀請只有在論文被接受后才發(fā)出，所有的參與者都將出現(xiàn)在問題目錄中。
