Most research and experiments in the fields of science, engineering and social studies have spent significant efforts to find rules from various complicated phenomena by observations, recorded data, logic derivations and so on. The rules are normally summarised as concise and quantitative expressions or "models". "Identification" provides mechanisms to establish the models and "control" provides mechanisms to improve the system's (represented by its model) performance. IJMIC has been set up to reflect the relevant generic studies in this area.

Topics covered include

    Dynamic modelling theories/techniques/computational algorithms
    Application examples of the above
    Novel and unconventional linear system modelling techniques
    System identification, particularly nonlinear system identification
    Model validation
    Various control techniques
    Nonlinear system control
    Robotics
    Mechatronic system modelling, identification and control
    Biological system modelling, identification and control
    Neural network, fuzzy logic enhanced modelling, identification and control
    Complementary medical system modelling and identification
    Wide range representative application examples
    Quantitative economic/financial and other social system modeling/identification

Objectives

The intention of IJMIC is to provide an international forum to report latest developments from interdisciplinary theoretical studies, computational algorithm development and applications. It particularly welcomes those emerging methodologies and techniques which bridge theoretical studies and applications in all engineering and science branches. Novel quantitative social, economical/financial studies may be considered as well.

Readership

IJMIC provides a vehicle to help professionals, academics, and researchers working in the field of science, technology and engineering, and possibly quantitative social and economical/financial studies, to disseminate information and to learn from each other's work.

Contents

IJMIC publishes original papers, review papers, technical reports, book reviews, commentaries, and news. Special Issues devoted to important topics in nonlinear dynamic system modelling, identification and control will be occasionally published.
