Transactions on SMC: Systems

Scope

The scope of the IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics: Systems includes the field of systems engineering. It also includes issue formulation, analysis and modeling, decision making, and issue interpretation for any of the systems engineering lifecycle phases associated with the definition, development, and deployment of large systems. Other topics include systems management, systems engineering processes, and a variety of systems engineering methods such as optimization, modeling and simulation.

IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Part A: Systems and Humans was renamed IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics: Systems on January 1, 2013.

In this article, the convergence of state-based games (SBGs) with recurrent state equilibria is considered by the semi-tensor product of matrices. First, the state-action profile distribution is obtained by the proposed whole evolution equation of the state and the action profile. Second, two necessary and sufficient conditions are given to...

Finite-and fixed-time parameter estimation and adaptive control have been extensively investigated in recent years. This study proposes a finite-and fixed-time learning control framework to achieve simultaneous finite/fixed-time parameter estimation and control. The proposed learning control method first estimates unknown parameters and then uses these estimates to improve the control performance....

An adaptive event-triggered consensus control strategy for nonlinear multiagent systems without leaders against deception attacks is presented, where a more general deception attacks is considered in this article. The impact of deception attacks on systems cannot be ignored and the most significant difficulty for researchers is the exact state variables...

Since the inception of Industry 5.0 in 2021, a growing number of researchers have begun to pay their attention to the revolutionary shift it brings. The principles of Industry 5.0, including human-centric, sustainability, and emphasis on ecological and social values, will become the new paradigm for future industrial development. In...

In this work, we propose an approximation-free adaptive performance control scheme for unknown high-relative degree, multi-input-multioutput (MIMO) nonlinear systems with saturation on the control input signal. We introduce a novel reconciling adaptive modification of the predefined performance specifications based on the input constraints of the controlled plant, providing the best-feasible...

This article addresses the secure control issue for cyber-physical systems (CPSs) under aperiodic denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Malicious DoS attacks disrupt the communication between the controller and the actuator. The finite attack resources of malevolent attackers are taken into consideration, and the DoS attacks are characterized using an aperiodic model. In...
