This special issue aims to present recent progress, ideas, problems and solutions relating to the multifaceted aspects of control and automation. It is intended for academics, practitioners, scientists and engineers involved in the area of control engineering as well as those working in industrial automation.

The issue will carry revised and substantially extended versions of selected papers presented at the 2011 International Conference on Control and Automation (Jeju Island, Korea; see http://www.sersc.org/CA2011/), but we also strongly encourage researchers who did not participate in the conference to submit papers for this call.

Subject Coverage
Suitable topics include but are not limited to the following. Excellent surveying works in these areas are also welcome.

• Adaptive and learning control system
• Advanced technologies (i.e. MEMS and nano-electronic devices)
• Communication theory and information theory
• Control theory and applications
• Manufacturing systems and automation
• Modulation, coding and channel analysis
• Networks design, network protocols and network management
