The European Control Association (EUCA) has among its objectives to promote the development of the discipline. Apart from the European Control Conferences, the European Journal of Control is the Association's main channel for the dissemination of important contributions in the field.The aim of the Journal is to publish high quality papers on the theory and practice of control and systems engineering.The scope of the Journal will be wide and cover all aspects of the discipline including methodologies, techniques and applications.Research in control and systems engineering is necessary to develop new concepts and tools which enhance our understanding and improve our ability to design and implement high performance control systems. Submitted papers should stress the practical motivations and relevance of their results.The design and implementation of a successful control system requires the use of a range of techniques:ModellingRobustness AnalysisIdentificationOptimizationControl Law DesignNumerical analysisFault Detection, and so on.Papers dealing with the interplay between such techniques will be particularly welcome.Applications papers which emphasize methodology used, implementation and commissioning issues are strongly encouraged.The Journal will also publish tutorial expositions and state-of-the-art reviews. Interested authors for this type of paper should first contact the Editor in Chief and submit an extended summary of approximately 2000 words.The European Journal of Control wishes to encourage (when appropriate) reviewers, editors and authors to participate in discussion sections at the end of published papers. There is no standard format for a discussion section, but its contents should serve to help the readership. For example, views could be expressed on the contribution of the paper in a particular area, its likely impact on industrial practice could be described, or directions for further work suggested. Whatever format the discussion takes, it will be concluded by the author(s). Invitations to participate in the discussion will only be sent out after the paper has been accepted, and all contributors will appear in the issues Table of Contents.

歐洲控制協會（EUCA）的目標之一是促進該學科的發展。除歐洲控制會議外，《歐洲控制雜志》是該協會在該領域傳播重要貢獻的主要渠道。這本雜志的目的是發表關于控制和系統工程的理論和實踐的高質量論文。該期刊的范圍很廣，涵蓋了該學科的所有方面，包括方法、技術和應用。控制和系統工程的研究對于開發新的概念和工具是必要的，這些概念和工具可以增強我們對高性能控制系統的理解，提高我們設計和實施高性能控制系統的能力。提交的論文應強調其結果的實際動機和相關性。成功控制系統的設計和實現需要使用一系列技術：建模穩健性分析識別優化控制律設計數值分析故障檢測等。關于這些技術之間相互作用的論文將特別受歡迎。強烈鼓勵使用強調方法、實施和調試問題的應用文件。該雜志還將出版教程說明和最新評論。對于這類論文感興趣的作者應首先與主編聯系，并提交大約2000字的擴展摘要。《歐洲控制雜志》希望鼓勵（適當時）審稿人、編輯和作者在發表論文的最后參與討論部分。討論部分沒有標準格式，但其內容應該有助于讀者。例如，可以就論文在某一特定領域的貢獻發表意見，描述其對工業實踐的可能影響，或建議進一步工作的方向。無論討論采用何種形式，作者都會得出結論。參加討論的邀請只有在論文被接受后才發出，所有的參與者都將出現在問題目錄中。
