*Journal of Process Control Special Issue on Latest Updates of Iterative
Learning Control and Their Applications*


Iterative learning control (ILC) can “learn” from experience to improve its
control performance, and it plays an important role in processes with
certain repetitive nature. Contributions are invited for a special issue of
the JOURNAL OF PROCESS CONTROL devoted to the subject of latest updates of
iterative learning control and their applications. The purpose of this
special issue is to document the current status of research and application
in this field, through a collection of original high-quality papers.

Only contributions that contain boththeoretical contributions and relevant
application results will be considered. Topics of interests include but are
not limited to:

   - ILC design for systems with stochastic noises
   - ILC design with batch-varying references
   - Indirect ILC for nonlinear systems
   - Performance assessment for ILC
   - Point-to-point ILC design

It is required that all contributions have experimental results or at least
realistic simulation studies. Contributions must be prepared in accordance
with the *Journal of Process Control *standards. Prospective authors are
advised to consult the “Guide for Authors” prior to submitting a paper:
http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/30445/authorinstructions.
Contributions should be submitted via http://ees.elsevier.com/jprocont/.
Submitted manuscripts must not have been previously published or be under
review for publication elsewhere. The expected time schedule for this
special issue:

*1. Before September 30: Submission of manuscript following JPC guidelines.
2. Before December 31: Final decision on the manuscript (including possible
revision and re-review).*

All manuscripts will follow the existing review practice to meet the
standards of the *Journal of Process Control**.*
