Sliding Mode Control (SMC) is a nonlinear control method in which the state feedback control law is not a continuous function of time. Instead, the state feedback control law can switch from one continuous structure to another structure based on the current position in the state space. For over 50 years, the sliding mode control (SMC) has been extensively studied and widely used in many scientific and industrial applications due to its simplicity and robustness against parameter variations and disturbances. Important types of sliding mode control (SMC) are classical sliding mode control, integral sliding mode control, second-order sliding mode control and higher order sliding mode control. Sliding mode control has applications in several branches of science and engineering like control systems, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, robotics, network engineering, etc.

This special issue focuses upon recent advances and applications of sliding mode control in engineering. We especially welcome research manuscripts focusing on the latest research problems, control techniques and applications of sliding mode control.
