Transactions on Cybernetics

Scope

The scope of the IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics includes computational approaches to the field of cybernetics. Specifically, the transactions welcomes papers on communication and control across machines or between machine, human, and organizations. The scope includes such areas as computational intelligence, computer vision, neural networks, genetic algorithms, machine learning, fuzzy systems, cognitive systems, decision making, and robotics, to the extent that they contribute to the theme of cybernetics or demonstrate an application of cybernetics principles.

IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics replaced the IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Part B: Cybernetics on January 1, 2013.

This article presents an approach to ensure the robust forward invariance of safe sets for sampled-data input nonlinear dynamical systems with model uncertainties. We first design a continuous-time composite controller structure for the uncertain system by integrating an uncertainty compensation term and a state feedback term. The uncertainty compensation term...

Learning to optimize and automated algorithm design are attracting increasing attention, but it is still in its infancy in constrained multiobjective optimization evolutionary algorithms (CMOEAs). Current learning-assisted CMOEAs are typically crafted by human experts using manually designed techniques, which tend to be overly tuned, ad hoc, and lacking versatility. To...

The tracking control problem for strict-feedback systems with unknown dynamics has been extensively studied. However, most existing control approaches require online approximation models and associated a priori assumptions. In order to avoid the necessity of deriving online models, this article proposes a data-driven backstepping control (DBC) approach for a class...

This article addresses the optimal control problem for nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs) with an uncertain nonlinear leader subject to intermittent Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. The main challenge is estimating the leader’s dynamics when the uncertain nonlinear dynamics of the leader are unknown to all followers and communication between subsystems is intermittently...

This article tackles the sampled-data control issue for a class of time-scale-type systems (TSTSs) subject to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. A novel sampled-data control protocol, that incorporate the backward-jump-like operator (BJLO), is proposed to ensure compatibility with the discontinuity of time scales. Furthermore, a generalized Halanay-like inequality (GHLI) is proposed to...
