Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Most natural or artificial processes are complex systems that involve different domains of nature and multiple interrelated variables. This makes their modeling and control a difficult task. Object-oriented modeling and simulation is one of the main tools to analyze and assess the behavior of such complex systems. Object-oriented modeling languages allow multidomain modeling: That is, the components corresponding to physical objects of different domains can be described and connected as in many real applications involving mechanical, hydraulic, thermal elements, etc. These tools are widely used to assist the design, control, and improvement of several types of systems. On the other hand, when it is desired to control such complex processes, complicated interactions often appear between the variables to be controlled and the variables to be manipulated. This makes the traditional control system design by means of monovariable PID controllers more difficult or inefficient. In these cases, it is convenient to consider multivariable control methodologies.
This Special Issue on “Multivariable Control and Object-Oriented Modeling” focuses on new developments and applications of object-oriented modeling of multivariable complex systems and multivariable control methodologies. Topics include but are not limited to:
- Developments of object-oriented modeling;
- Applications of object-oriented modeling;
- Development of multivariable control methodologies;
- Analysis of interaction of multivariable processes;
- Application of multivariable control strategies, such as multivariable PID control, decoupling control, multivariable MPC, decentralized control, multivariable robust control, and so on.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
