Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

A wide range of ongoing work in the areas of controller design and information engineering reveals that the pace of technological change in this domain seems to be accelerating. The focus is on futuristic segments ranging from robotics and genomics to chemical feedstock and electrical storage.

The primary objective of this Special Issue is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange their latest theoretical and technological achievements and to identify critical issues and challenges for future investigation on the advanced automation and control techniques based on information system technologies. The submitted papers are expected to bring up original ideas and potential contributions for theory and practice. However, topics include but are not limited to the following research areas:

  •  Frontiers in control engineering;
  •  Advanced control of industrial processes;
  •  Fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control;
  •  Modeling and control in biochemical and medical systems;
  •  Advanced software engineering in automation;
  •  Artificial intelligence-based control.

Due to the appearance of COVID-19 in 2019, person-to-person interactions were drastically reduced. The impact of these restrictions on the economic environment was significant. For example, technical assistance for commissioning or adjusting the parameters of some complex machines/installations had to be postponed. Economic operators became interested in the possibility of remote collaboration, depending on the manufactured products and the performance of the production lines that they owned. This bibliographic research was undertaken to address these needs. The purpose of this review was to analyze the current solutions, approaches, and technologies that workers and specialists can implement to obtain a reliable remote collaboration system. This survey focuses on techniques, devices, and tools that are being used in different contexts to provide remote guidance. We present communication cues and methods being employed, the implemented technological support, and the areas that benefit from remote collaboration. We hope that our effort will be useful to those who develop such systems and people who want to learn about the existence of collaborative solutions, and that it will increase awareness about the applications and the importance of the domain. We are convinced that, with the development of communication systems, the advancement of remote support systems will be a goal for many economic operators. Full article
