Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hybrid systems exhibit both continuous-time and discrete-event dynamics. In the former case, the dynamics can be defined by differential or difference equations. For the latter, common representations include finite state machines and Petri nets. Many practical systems can be modeled as hybrid systems, such as intelligent transportation systems, process control systems, robots, chemical engineering systems, and manufacturing systems. Apart from the above conventional areas, hybrid systems show great potential in large-scale complex industrial systems, internet systems, biological molecular networks, and other fields. In the past few years, hybrid systems have received significant attention in a broad range of disciplines, such as dynamical system modeling, nonlinear control theory, robust control theory, adaptive control theory, fuzzy control theory, optimization, and so on. However, many theoretical problems and application challenges are still open.
The main objective of this Special Issue is to report recent developments in methodologies, techniques, and applications of hybrid systems, including issues such as modeling design, stability analysis, control and performance analysis, optimization, etc. Both theoretical and application-oriented papers are sought, showcasing emerging innovative ideas and technologies, to address various unsolved issues and challenges in hybrid systems. This Special Issue will offer a concentrative venue for researchers to rapidly exchange ideas and original research findings in hybrid systems and their applications. In particular, new interdisciplinary approaches in hybrid systems and engineering applications, or strong conceptual foundation in newly evolving topics are especially welcome. We invite worldwide researchers and experts to submit high-quality original research papers or critical survey articles on, but not limited to, the following potential topics:
- Mathematical model formulation/transformation;
- Novel control strategies applied in hybrid systems;
- Switching and event-driven systems;
- Adaptive control and intelligent control of switched systems;
- Robust stability and performance analysis, e.g., L2-norm, H∞-norm;
- Reachability analysis of switched nonlinear systems;
- State estimation of switched systems under known or unknown switching mode;
- Steady and transient performance analysis;
- Constraint switching control;
- Bumpless transfer of hybrid systems;
- Finite-time stability and finite-time control;
- Latest numerical algorithms and computational simulations;
- Optimization and performance analysis;
- Applications to industrial processes.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
