Dear Colleagues, Dynamic processes in nanocatalysis are actively reshaping the frontiers of materials science, energy conversion, and environmental remediation. These advances—spanning real-time catalytic performance, sustainable technology, and mechanistic insights—have garnered increasing attention from both academic and industrial communities. In response, our journal is pleased to launch a Featured Papers Collection, dedicated to capturing foundational and forward-looking research, highlighting the latest progress and inspiring further exploration in the field. We encourage researchers and leading experts in nanocatalysis and related areas to submit original research articles, reviews, perspectives, and letters that reflect the latest progress, showcase innovative methodologies, and demonstrate practical impact. Join us in advancing this rapidly evolving domain by sharing your cutting-edge work.

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. Topics of Interest Include (but are not limited to): Modeling and Analysis of Networked Systems Deep learning-based modeling and parameter identification for networked systems Analysis of the impact of network topology on system dynamic characteristics Time-delay compensation and stability analysis for networked systems Modeling and simulation of complex networked environments Intelligent Control Strategies and Methods Artificial intelligence-based adaptive control for networked systems Robust control and anti-interference strategies for networked systems Application of distributed control and optimization algorithms in networked systems Event-triggered and data-driven control methods Network Security and Privacy Protection Security control and intrusion detection for networked systems Application of privacy protection technologies in networked control Encrypted control and secure information transmission strategies System recovery and resilience enhancement under network attacks Application Domains Networked control in industrial Internet of Thing and intelligent manufacturing Networked management of smart grids and renewable energy systems Networked cooperative control for intelligent transportation systems Networked monitoring and optimization in smart cities Submission Link: https://sciflux.org/authors/submissions Journal Homepage: https://www.sciltp.com/journals/ic Editorial Office Contact: ic@sciltp.com Submission Deadline: 30 June 2027 Academic editors Ben Niu, Dalian University of Technology niubensdnu@163.com Xiaomei Wang, Chongqing University wlwxmei@163.com Xinjun Wang, Shandong Normal University wangxinjunsdnu@163.com Jidong Liu, Shandong Normal University liujidongsdnu@163.com Hong Sang, Dalian Maritime University sanghong@dlmu.edu.cn All manuscripts will undergo peer review in accordance with the journal’s established policies and procedures.
