This international journal covers the application of control theory, operations research, computer science and engineering principles to the solution of process control problems. In addition to the traditional chemical processing and manufacturing applications, the scope of process control problems involves a wide range of applications that includes energy processes, nano-technology, systems biology, bio-medical engineering, pharmaceutical processing technology, energy storage and conversion, smart grid, and data analytics among others.Papers on the theory in these areas will also be accepted provided the theoretical contribution is aimed at the application and the development of process control techniques.Topics covered include:? Control applications? Process monitoring? Plant-wide control? Process control systems? Control techniques and algorithms? Process modelling and simulation? Design methodsAdvanced design methods exclude well established and widely studied traditional design techniques such as PID tuning and its many variants. Applications in fields such as control of automotive engines, machinery and robotics are not deemed suitable unless a clear motivation for the relevance to process control is provided.For more details on the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC), access their home page.

本國際期刊涵蓋了控制理論、運籌學、計算機科學和工程原理在過程控制問題解決中的應用。除了傳統的化學加工和制造應用，過程控制問題的范圍涉及廣泛的應用，包括能源過程、納米技術、系統生物學、生物醫學工程、制藥加工技術、能源儲存和轉換、智能電網和數據分析等。如果理論貢獻是針對過程控制技術的應用和發展，這些領域的理論論文也將被接受。所涉及的主題包括：?控制應用?過程監控?全廠范圍的控制?過程控制系統?控制技術和算法?過程建模和仿真?設計方法先進的設計方法排除了傳統設計技術，如PID整定及其許多變種，并得到了廣泛的研究。除非提供了與過程控制相關的明確動機，否則不認為在汽車發動機、機械和機器人控制等領域的應用是合適的。有關國際自動控制聯合會（IFAC）的更多詳細信息，請訪問其主頁。
