A Journal of IFAC, the International Federation of Automatic Control
国际自动控制联合会IFAC杂志
Control Engineering Practice strives to meet the needs of industrial practitioners and industrially related academics and researchers. It publishes papers which illustrate the direct application of control theory and its supporting tools in all possible areas of automation. As a result, the journal only contains papers which can be considered to have made significant contributions to the application of advanced control techniques. It is normally expected that practical results should be included, but where simulation only studies are available, it is necessary to demonstrate that the simulation model is representative of a genuine application. Strictly theoretical papers will find a more appropriate home in Control Engineering Practice’s sister publication, Automatica. It is also expected that papers are innovative with respect to the state of the art and are sufficiently detailed for a reader to be able to duplicate the main results of the paper (supplementary material, including datasets, tables, code and any relevant interactive material can be made available and downloaded from the website). The benefits of the presented methods must be made very clear and the new techniques must be compared and contrasted with results obtained using existing methods. Moreover, a thorough analysis of failures that may happen in the design process and implementation can also be part of the paper.
控制工程实践致力于满足工业从业者和工业相关学者和研究人员的需求。它发表的论文说明了控制理论及其支持工具在所有可能的自动化领域的直接应用。因此,该杂志只包含可以被认为对先进控制技术的应用做出重大贡献的论文。通常期望包括实际结果,但是如果只能进行仿真研究,则必须证明仿真模型代表了真正的应用。严格的理论论文将在《控制工程实践》的姊妹刊物《Automatica》中找到更合适的归宿。还期望论文在现有技术方面具有创新性,并且足够详细,读者能够复制论文的主要结果(补充材料,包括数据集、表格、代码和任何相关的互动材料可以从网站上提供和下载)。所提出的方法的优点必须非常明确,并且必须将新技术与使用现有方法获得的结果进行比较和对比。此外,对设计过程和实施中可能发生的故障进行彻底分析也可以成为本文的一部分。

Introduction 介绍
Control Engineering Practice
控制工程实践 strives to meet the needs of industrial practitioners and industrially related academics and researchers. It publishes papers which illustrate the direct application of control theory and its supporting tools in all possible areas of automation. As a result, the journal only contains papers which can be considered to have made significant contributions to the application of control techniques. It is normally expected that practical results should be included, but where simulation only studies are available, it is necessary to demonstrate that the simulation model is representative of a genuine industrial application. Strictly theoretical papers will find a more appropriate home in Control Engineering Practice’s sister publication, Automatica. Control Engineering Practice papers will tend to be shorter, and relevant to industrial readers.
努力满足工业从业者和工业相关学者和研究人员的需求。它发表的论文说明了控制理论及其支持工具在所有可能的自动化领域的直接应用。因此,该杂志只收录了被认为对控制技术应用做出重大贡献的论文。通常期望包括实际结果,但是如果只能进行仿真研究,则必须证明仿真模型代表了真正的工业应用。严格的理论论文将在《控制工程实践》的姊妹刊物《Automatica》中找到更合适的归宿。控制工程实践论文往往更短,并且与工业读者相关。
In addition to purely technical applications papers the journal carries papers on topics linked to the application of automation, including social effects, cultural aspects, project planning and system design, and economic and management issues.
除了纯粹的技术应用论文外,该杂志还刊登与自动化应用相关的主题论文,包括社会影响、文化方面、项目规划和系统设计以及经济和管理问题。
