Intelligent control describes a class of control techniques that use various artificial intelligence (AI) techniques such as neural network control, Bayesian control, fuzzy logic control, neuro-fuzzy control, expert systems, genetic control, evolutionary algorithms and intelligent agents. Intelligent control systems are very useful when no mathematical model is available a priori and intelligent control itself develops a system to be controlled. Intelligent control is inspired by the intelligence and genetics of living beings. This special issue will focus on various applications of intelligent control on nonlinear control systems including chaotic systems.
Chaos theory, which occupies a central place in modem nonlinear dynamics, refers to a deterministic development with chaotic outcomes. This theory deals with the behaviour of dynamical systems and maps that are highly sensitive to initial conditions. The sensitivity to initial conditions is usually called the butterfly effect for dynamical systems and maps. Chaotic systems can be observed in many natural systems such as weather and climate. Chaos theory has applications in several areas such as vibration control, electric circuits, chemical reactions, lasers, combustion engines, computers, cryptosystems, encryption, secure communications, biology, medicine, management, finance, etc. Chaotic behaviour can be studied through the analysis of a chaotic mathematical model (discrete or continuous).
This special issue aims at presenting the latest developments, trends, research solutions and applications of intelligent control and nonlinear dynamics with real-world applications. We invite researchers to contribute original research articles as well as review articles that will stimulate continuing efforts to improve the current state of art in the aforementioned fields.
The issue will carry revised and substantially extended versions of selected papers presented at the 5th International Conference on Control and Signal Processing (CSP2017), but we also strongly encourage researchers unable to participate in the conference to submit articles for this call.
