現在控制領域的變化非常迅速，有了新的主題、流行語和技術驅動的“大挑戰”。事實上，經濟發展和社會需求越來越依賴于各種系統的集合，它們共同提供所需的服務、舒適、健康、安全和保障。因此，對方法和技術方法的需求日益增加，這些方法和技術方法允許多個獨立的異構系統協同工作，以提供比單個系統更廣泛的能力。這種考慮適用于許多不同領域，包括交通、醫療、能源和水管理、智能城市、國防、社會服務、制造業供應鏈等。這種系統的設計需要理解計算機、軟件、網絡、物理、化學和生物過程以及人在回路中的聯合動力學。《年度審查控制》的目的是通過出版以下類型的審查文章，提供該領域的全面和有遠見的觀點：調查文章：回顧關于主要方法或技術進步的論文，愿景文章：前沿和新興主題，對該領域的未來或將如何跨越多個學科有遠見的觀點，以及導師研究文章：未來研究的基本指南。有關國際自動控制聯合會（IFAC）的更多詳情，請訪問其主頁：http://www.ifac-control.org。

The field of Control is changing very fast now, with new themes, buzzwords and technology-driven "grand challenges". Indeed, increasingly both economic developments and societal needs depend upon collections of diverse systems working together to provide needed services, comfort, health, safety and security. Consequently, there is an increasing demand for methodological and technical approaches which allow multiple, independent, heterogeneous systems to operate cooperatively to provide broader capabilities than are available from individual systems. Such considerations apply in a large number of different domains including, transportation, health care, energy and water management, smart cities, defense, social services, manufacturing supply chains and more. The design of such systems requires understanding the joint dynamics of computers, software, networks, physical, chemical and biological processes and human in the loop.The aim of Annual Reviews in Control is to provide comprehensive and visionary views of the field, by publishing the following types of review articles:Survey Article:- Review papers on main methodologies or technical advances,Vision Article: Cutting-edge and emerging topics with visionary perspective on the future of the field or how it will bridge multiple disciplines, andTutorial research Article: Fundamental guides for future studies.For more details on the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC), visit their homepage at http://www.ifac-control.org.
