Encyclopedia of Systems and Control Engineering, 4-volume set, offers a comprehensive overview of fundamental and contemporary topics in control systems. Spanning four volumes, it covers linear and nonlinear systems, and integrates experimental and analytical methodologies. This encyclopedia emphasizes cutting-edge developments, such as data-driven control and machine learning methods, which are crucial in modern industry. Control systems play a pivotal role in various engineering sectors, from Boeing aircraft to Boston Dynamics robots, and are essential for their functionality. This work is designed to be accessible to non-experts while providing authoritative, up-to-date information not readily found elsewhere, making it a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners.

Zhengtao Ding received B.Eng. degree from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, and M.Sc. degree in systems and control, and the Ph.D. degree in control systems from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, Manchester, U.K. After working in Singapore for ten years, he joined the University of Manchester in 2003, where he is currently Professor of Control Systems and the Head of Control, Robotics and Communication Division. He is the author of the book: Nonlinear and Adaptive Control Systems (IET, 2013), a co-author of other two books, and has published over 300 research articles in control theory and applications. His research interests include nonlinear and adaptive control theory and their applications, more recently network-based control, distributed optimization and distributed learning, with applications to power systems and robotics. Prof. Ding has served as the Subject Chef Editor of Nonlinear Control for Frontiers, and Associate Editor for Scientific Reports, IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, IEEE Transactions on Circuit and Systems II, IEEE Control Systems Letters, Journal of Franklin Institute, Transactions of the Institute of Measurement and Control, Control Theory and Technology, Unmanned Systems and several other journals. He is a member of IEEE Technical Committee on Nonlinear Systems and Control, IEEE Technical Committee on Intelligent Control, and IFAC Technical Committee on Adaptive and Learning Systems.
