A fundamental, omnipresent feature of the global information age is that cyber-capabilities, e.g. computing, communication and control, are inherently embedded in numerous physical/engineered systems from the nano-world to large-scale systems-of-systems. Many scientific/technological challenges require intensive multidisciplinary studies, calling for new formulations, techniques and innovative solutions from a spectrum of communities in systems engineering/control/communications. IJSCC offers a vibrant discussion forum in this interdisciplinary area, especially communication systems augmented by control techniques and control systems whose components are interconnected via communication networks.
Topics covered include
- Information-based control systems
- Distributed and cooperative control systems
- Networked control systems (NCS)
- Wired and wireless networks
- Network control (admission/flow/congestion control, etc.)
- Network scheduling and bandwidth allocation
- Informatics in control and communication
- Cyber-physical systems (CPSs)
- Sensor and actuator networks
- Multi-agent systems
- Case studies and applications
- Disturbance rejection in control and communications
Objectives
The main objectives of IJSCC are to form a vibrant international forum to report on the interdisciplinary developments of theoretical studies, modelling and design methods, computational algorithms and successful applications. Furthermore, it aims at establishing an effective channel of communication between systems engineers, control scientists and communication experts from industries, academe and research laboratories within this field. It particularly welcomes new theoretical results with practical applications.
Readership
IJSCC provides a vehicle to help professionals, academics and researchers working in the interdisciplinary field of systems, control and communications engineering to disseminate valuable knowledge and novel findings.
Contents
IJSCC publishes original papers, review papers, technical reports, book reviews, notes and commentaries. Special Issues devoted to important and timely topics in integrated control and communication systems will occasionally be published.

Insect identification
12 December, 2022
The accurate identification of insects is critical in research of ecosystems and in pest control in agriculture and forestry. Writing in the International Journal of Systems, Control and Communications, a team from China has focused on the identification of insects in the Wudalianchi Scenic Area in Heilongjiang Province. This region of China is considered one of the most useful for studying species adaption and the evolution of biological communities. In such studies, rapid and accurate insect identification in the field is critical. Yao Xiao, Aocheng Zhou, Lin Zhou, and Yue Zhao of The School of Technology at Beijing Forestry University have developed an automatic insect identification system based on the SE-ResNeXt convolutional neural network, which they suggest could reduce the researchers' workload as well as reducing the incorrect assignment to species. The team demonstrated 98 percent accuracy with their system, which coupled with field expertise could improve such studies in a meaningful way. The development of a website and app using the neural network will improve data storage and visualisation. Such efforts will ultimately supplant the archaic storage of insect specimens, especially given that such specimens do not represent the currency of ecosystems [...]
