Background

Networked systems, a cutting-edge fusion of information technology and control theory, encompass diverse fields ranging from the Internet and Internet of Things to industrial control networks, serving as a crucial foundation for intelligent, remote, and real-time control. With the increasing scale and complexity of systems, networked systems face significant challenges in stability, security, and coordination. Intelligent control technologies offer innovative solutions for optimizing the operation and real-time control of networked systems by introducing advanced algorithms and adaptive strategies.

This topic issue calls for the latest research achievements and application studies of intelligent control in networked systems, fostering academic exchange, driving technological innovation, and exploring future development directions.
