The Control and Engineering of Complex Systems section is dedicated to publishing research focused on understanding and managing intricate systems with interacting components.

Led by Dr. Rajarshi Roy from the University of Maryland, College Park, the Control and Engineering of Complex Systems section welcomes submissions in the various domains of complex systems engineering, which connect interdisciplinary fields to address challenges in controlling and optimizing these systems.

Topics considered in the scope of this section include:

adaptive networks and control
basic concepts and attributes of controllable complex systems
control principles and methods
control through parameters of nodes and links
control trajectories and targeting
data based control and modeling
effects of noise on control methods
energy considerations in control
linearization and control of complex systems
machine learning, reservoir computing, and model-free control
network link inference and causality
neuro- and bio-inspired control and computing
observability of a complex system
open loop and closed loop control
quantum systems and control
stability and removal of instabilities through control
synchronization and control
time-delayed feedback and control
time series prediction and neural networks
time-dependent parameter variations for control

Submissions should provide detailed, in-depth knowledge about the control and engineering of complex systems, encompassing the various topics listed above.

In particular, the section welcomes submissions which support and advance the control and engineering of complex systems, adaptive networks, machine learning, and energy considerations in control, contributing to SDGs 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), and 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).

This multidisciplinary section is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating cutting-edge scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries in the field of complex systems engineering to researchers, industry, policymakers, and the public worldwide.
