The Early Career Advisory Board (ECAB) of IEEE/CAA Journal of Automatica Sinica (JAS) is pleased to present the fifth Symposium Series in 2022 on Intelligent Autonomous Control Systems in Challenging Environments, to be held online on June 25, 2022.

The Symposium Series is technically sponsored by the IEEE/CAA JAS and aims to provide a research venue for researchers, students and control engineers to exchange ideas and discuss the technical trends and challenges in the area of automation science and engineering. The Series brings together a set of one day or half day symposia at a common site, currently being planned as an online event given the pandemic situation, but IEEE/CAA JAS will be monitoring the pandemic situation and will announce any modifications to this plan. The Series will run multiple times yearly and different symposium topics will be solicited from the current ECAB members.

The fifth Symposium Series is devoted to recent advances in intelligent autonomous control systems in challenging environments, hosted by two ECAB members Prof. Zongyu Zuo and Prof. Zhouhua Peng.

Accepted papers will be distributed as widely as possible over the subfields of control system technology. Most excitingly, all accepted papers will be recommended to and published in the IEEE/CAA JAS as Letters when passing peer review.

Call for Papers

Topics of contributing papers include, but are not limited to

● Efficient modelling, guidance, control of autonomous systems including unmanned surface/underwater/ground/ aerial vehicles
