About The Section
Automation and Control Systems
Publishes original research articles, letters, case reports, reviews/mini-reviews and guest edited thematic issues on various topics related to Automation and Control Systems. Articles may be focused largely, but not exclusively, on contributions from China.
The Automation and Control Systems section of the journal Current Chinese Science publishes original research articles, letters, reviews/mini-reviews and guest-edited thematic issues in all areas of automation and control science. Articles may focus largely, but not exclusively, on contributions from China.
This section is not limited to a specific aspect of the field but is instead devoted to a wide range of sub-fields in the area. Articles of interdisciplinary nature are particularly welcome. Submissions in the following automation and control science areas are of special interest to the readers of this journal:

Dr Shen Yin received his doctorate from the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE), Germany in 2012. He is currently a Full Professor at School of Astronautics and also the Director of Lab on Advanced Learning Aided Diagnosis and Control, Harbin Institute of Technology. His interest majorly focuses on Data-driven control/diagnosis and system identification, Machine learning and artificial intelligence, Safety, reliability, the security of complicated systems, Big data and intelligent human healthy diagnosis, Nonlinear system and theory and Applications in cyber-physical systems and autonomous systems. He was honoured with Highly Cited Researcher award in 2019 as well as Outstanding Reviewer of IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control in 2015. He has three patents and more than 100 international publications. He is also an Associate Editor or Editorial member of IE Technology News and Journal of Intelligent and Fuzzy Systems.

Xinzhi Liu received the B.S. degree in mathematics from Shandong Normal University in 1982 and the Ph.D. degree in applied mathematics from the University of Texas at Arlington in 1988. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Alberta from 1988 to 1990. Then he joined the Department of Applied Mathematics, University of Waterloo as an Assistant Professor in 1990, where he became an Associate Professor in 1994 and a Full Professor in 1997. He has authored or co-authored more than 400 journal articles, six research monographs, and 20 edited books. His current research interests include hybrid dynamical systems, multi-agent systems, complex dynamical networks, and infectious disease modeling.
