Acta Automatica Sinica publishes high-quality papers on original theoretical and experiment research and development in the area of automation. As the top Chinese journal in the broad field of automation, its readers are assumed mainly as researchers, professors, engineers, and post- and undergraduate students in the field of automation science and technology. Acta Automatica Sinica has been an elementary reference for the researchers in this area. For reporting the up-to-date, influential, difficult and marked point or progress in automation more timely, the editorial board of this journal decided to aim at some research program which were been supported by NSFC and publish some corresponding special issues or special sections. We believe, in a certain extent, those published papers will promotes the development in related area by the widely distribution of this journal.
