现在控制领域的变化非常迅速，有了新的主题、流行语和技术驱动的“大挑战”。事实上，经济发展和社会需求越来越依赖于各种系统的集合，它们共同提供所需的服务、舒适、健康、安全和保障。因此，对方法和技术方法的需求日益增加，这些方法和技术方法允许多个独立的异构系统协同工作，以提供比单个系统更广泛的能力。这种考虑适用于许多不同领域，包括交通、医疗、能源和水管理、智能城市、国防、社会服务、制造业供应链等。这种系统的设计需要理解计算机、软件、网络、物理、化学和生物过程以及人在回路中的联合动力学。《年度审查控制》的目的是通过出版以下类型的审查文章，提供该领域的全面和有远见的观点：调查文章：回顾关于主要方法或技术进步的论文，愿景文章：前沿和新兴主题，对该领域的未来或将如何跨越多个学科有远见的观点，以及导师研究文章：未来研究的基本指南。有关国际自动控制联合会（IFAC）的更多详情，请访问其主页：http://www.ifac-control.org。

The field of Control is changing very fast now, with new themes, buzzwords and technology-driven "grand challenges". Indeed, increasingly both economic developments and societal needs depend upon collections of diverse systems working together to provide needed services, comfort, health, safety and security. Consequently, there is an increasing demand for methodological and technical approaches which allow multiple, independent, heterogeneous systems to operate cooperatively to provide broader capabilities than are available from individual systems. Such considerations apply in a large number of different domains including, transportation, health care, energy and water management, smart cities, defense, social services, manufacturing supply chains and more. The design of such systems requires understanding the joint dynamics of computers, software, networks, physical, chemical and biological processes and human in the loop.The aim of Annual Reviews in Control is to provide comprehensive and visionary views of the field, by publishing the following types of review articles:Survey Article:- Review papers on main methodologies or technical advances,Vision Article: Cutting-edge and emerging topics with visionary perspective on the future of the field or how it will bridge multiple disciplines, andTutorial research Article: Fundamental guides for future studies.For more details on the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC), visit their homepage at http://www.ifac-control.org.
