================================================================ Book Chapters for: Advances and Applications in Sliding Mode Control systems Series Title: Studies in Computational Intelligence by Springer-Verlag, Germany ================================================================ Proposal Submission Deadline: December 15, 2013 1-2 pages including abstract, chapter objectives and chapter outlines ================================================================ Submission deadline: March 30, 2014 ================================================================ Book Editors Ahmad Taher Azar, PhD, IEEE Member Faculty of Computers and Information, Benha University, Egypt Email: ahmad.azar@fci.bu.edu.eg; ahmad_t_azar@ieee.org Quanmin Zhu Professor, Department of Engineering Design and Mathematics, University of the West of England, Bristol, United Kingdom Email: Quan.Zhu@uwe.ac.uk ================================================================ DESCRIPTION: Sliding mode control is an important robust control approach and has attractive features to keep the systems insensitive to the uncertainties on the sliding surface. For the class of systems to which it applies, sliding mode controller design provides a systematic approach to the problem of maintaining stability and consistent performance in the face of modeling imprecision. On the other hand, by allowing the tradeoffs between modeling and performance to be quantified in a simple fashion, it can illuminate the whole design process. Sliding mode schemes have become one of the most exciting research topics in several fields such as electric drives and actuators, power systems, aerospace vehicles, robotic manipulators, biomedical systems, etc…. ================================================================ OBJECTIVE OF THE BOOK The aim of this book is to present recent theoretical developments in sliding mode control and estimation techniques as well as practical solutions to real-world control engineering problems using sliding mode methods. The solicited chapters should provide new ideas and approaches, clearly indicating the advances made in problem statements, methodologies, or applications with respect to the existing results. ================================================================ TOPICS Suggested topics include (but are not limited to) the following: • Adaptive sliding mode control • Sliding mode identification • Sliding mode control and optimisation • Sliding mode estimation and optimisation • Sliding mode control in stochastic, uncertain or hybrid systems • Sliding mode filtering and estimation • Output feedback sliding mode control • Discrete-time sliding mode control • Sliding mode observers • Higher-order sliding modes • Chattering analysis • Reaching phase elimination • Combination of sliding mode schemes and computational intelligence • Suboptimal sliding mode algorithms for dynamic systems ================================================================ CHAPTER SUBMISSION AND AUTHOR INFORMATION: Submitted manuscripts should conform to the standard guidelines of the Springer's book chapter format. Manuscripts must be prepared using Latex or Word and according to the Springer's svmlt template that can be downloaded from the (link). Manuscripts that do not follow the formatting rules will be ignored. Prospective authors should send their manuscripts electronically to the following email addresses: ahmad_t_azar@ieee.org, and Quan.Zhu@uwe.ac.uk, with the subject title as: “Advances and Applications in Sliding Mode Control systems- Book Chapter". Submitted manuscripts will be refereed by at least two independent and expert reviewers for quality, correctness, originality, and relevance. The accepted contributions will be published in Studies in Computational Intelligence by Springer-Verlag, Germany. ================================================================ IMPORTANT DATES December 15, 2013: Proposal Submission Deadline December 15, 2013: Notification of Acceptance March 30, 2014: Full Chapter Submission May 30, 2014: Review Results Returned June 30, 2014: Final Chapter Submission July 15, 2014: Final Acceptance Notifications ================================================================ Book Editors Ahmad Taher Azar, PhD, IEEE Member Faculty of Computers and Information, Benha University, Egypt Email: ahmad.azar@fci.bu.edu.eg; ahmad_t_azar@ieee.org Quanmin Zhu Professor, Department of Engineering Design and Mathematics, University of the West of England, Bristol, United Kingdom Email: Quan.Zhu@uwe.ac.uk |
