IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology

Aims & Scope

The IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology publishes high quality technical papers on technological advances in control engineering.

The word technology is from the Greek technologia.

The modern meaning is a scientific method to achieve a practical purpose.

Control Systems Technology includes all aspects of control engineering needed to implement practical control systems, from analysis and design, through simulation and hardware.

A primary purpose of the IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology is to have an archival publication which will bridge the gap between theory and practice.

Papers are published in the IEEE Transactions on Control System Technology which disclose significant new knowledge, exploratory developments, or practical applications in all aspects of technology needed to implement control systems, from analysis and design through simulation, and hardware.
