Special Issue on Machine Learning and Big Data in Control Systems

in the Control Engineering and Applied Informatics (CEAI) journal, http://ceai.srait.ro

Intelligent control is based on the synergistic combination of advances in Internet of Things (IoT), Crowdsensing technologies, Big Data (BD) analytics, Mobile and Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Smart Cyber-Physical Systems. In recent years, AI and BD are both accomplishing big technological advances. The integration of the techniques specific to Machine Learning (ML) and BD in control systems leads to control systems with several degrees of intelligence, developed in the framework of both model-based and data-driven control.

Regardless of the great progress, applying learning control and BD to industrial systems with high degrees of freedom, nonlinear-in-the-parameter uncertainties, or nonparametric uncertainties is still challenging. Besides, research results on the systematic integration of learning control and other control approaches with successful real-world applications are rare. Concepts and algorithms developed in intelligent control, ML and BD help the complex systems to adapt to the varying environment with the help from sensors, actuators, computation technology and communication networks. This special issue aims to tighten the bond between the control theory, the data theory and the learning theory and their real-world applications.

Researchers, developers, and industry experts are welcome to contribute to one of the following topics or slightly similar ones:

·         Intelligent control systems

·         Machine learning in control applications
