description abstract | It gives me great pleasure to introduce the new ASME Letters in Dynamic Systems and Control (ALDSC). This is not only a new journal under the ASME banner, but it also represents a new type of journal offering for ASME. In contrast to other offerings, the new ASME Letters provides an opportunity for rapid publication of shorter papers describing novel, high-quality, cutting-edge original findings.This new publication will disseminate the state-of-the-art in dynamic systems and control research, both theoretical and applied. ALDSC will provide the global engineering community with a forum to communicate the emerging research ideas that will shape future efforts in dynamic systems and control. Topics include, but are not limited to, modeling, identification, diagnostics, intelligent systems, mechatronics, automotive and transportation systems, bio-systems and health care, energy systems, robotics, vibrations, and smart structures. And of course, new topics yet to be envisioned will also be part of the scope of this new journal. Review papers covering a particular topic in more depth are also encouraged. In addition, we also hope to feature new developments in control education. | |
