CALL FOR PAPERS
“Analysis and Control of Biological Networks”
A Special Issue of Asian Journal of Control
http://www.ajc.org.tw In systems biology, one of the ultra goals is to engineer unnatural organic molecules
that function in living systems to investigate natural biological phenomena and for
a variety of applications. In control engineering, the overall aim is to synthesize
controllers which can achieve desired performance. The notion of feedback, which
is the core of control engineering, is now a central recurring theme in the design
of biological regulatory networks. In fact, feedback is so prevalent in biological
systems that it can be found at all levels of organization, from the molecular and
cellular levels, to the organism and ecological levels. It is impossible to overstate
the importance of feedback as a strategy for the maintenance and evolution of life.
Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that ideas from control theory will lead to
new understanding of the underlying biological processes, and therefore have potential
applications in system biology and synthetic biology. The complexity of biological networks (BNs) poses many challenges for scientists and
engineers. In particular, the biological systems have apparently become dependent on
the complex infrastructure of the networks to such an extent that it is difficult to
analyse and control these networks thoroughly with our current capabilities. Therefore,
there is an urgent need to research into modelling, analysis, synchronization and control
of BNs using the available systems and control theory. Although many fundamental questions
have been addressed with the hope to understand network structures and dynamic properties,
some major problems have not been fully investigated, such as the behaviours of switching,
oscillating, stability, synchronization and chaos control for BNs, as well as their
applications in systems biology and bioinformatics. This special issue aims to bring together the latest advances in analysis and control
of biological networks, which comprise gene regulatory networks, signal transduction
networks, metabolite networks and intra-species or interspecies communication networks
in microbial communities. Topics of this special include, but are not limited to the
following aspects: (1) systems and control analysis of BNs; (2) Modelling of BNs;
(3) dynamics analysis of regulatory motifs; (4) robustness and fragility analysis
of BNs; (5) synchronization of BNs; (6) design of synthetic BNs, and (7) methods
and algorithms for BN analysis. Guest Editors:

Applications of electric machines in automobiles have been explosively increased
in the last decade or so. These applications could be at component level like a
motor driven throttle valve or at system level such as electric motor drive based
traction system in a hybrid electric or a purely electric vehicle (HEV or EV). In
order to deliver optimized power management and control in an ‘electrified’ vehicle,
high performance mechatronic control solutions are highly desired which normally
consist of advanced (robust, adaptive, and/or intelligent) control of electrical
drives, high precision sensing, and innovative actuating. Moreover, such mechatronic
controls are also expected to deliver reliability and safety. This special session
is dedicated to advanced control of electrical machines for automotive applications.
Papers are solicited in the most recent development of advanced control of electric
drives with automotive related applications. Topics of interests include, but are not
limited to:
• Mechatronic control of electrical machines and drives (IM, PMSM, SRM, etc)
in various transportation systems (HEV, EV, train, ...),
• Model based advanced control of electric drives for automotive applications,
• Estimation and identification in electric drive systems,
• Noise and vibration control in electrical machines,
• On-board fault diagnostics and fault-tolerant control in electrical machines and drives,
• FPGA and microprocessor-based control for electric machines,
• Sensorless solutions for electric drive control,
• Hardware-in-loop (HIL) simulation for electric machines and drives in

May 25, 2010 Camera ready paper submission Objectives
Mechanical and electrical systems show an increasing integration of mechanics with electronics
and information processing. hThis integration is between the components (hardware) and the
information-driven functions (software), resulting in integrated systems called mechatronic
systems. The development of mechatronic systems involves finding an optimal balance between
the basic mechanical structure, sensor and actuators, automatic digital information processing
and control in which embedded systems play a key role. The field of embedded system and
mechatronics is becoming evermore challenging; issues in embedded software lie at the focus
of researchers both in industry and academia. The goal of this 6th IEEE/ASME MESA, MESA10,
is to bring together experts from the fields of mechatronic and embedded systems, disseminate
the recent advances made in the area, discuss future research directions, and exchange application
experience. The conference program is organized in a number of symposia. Steering Committee Chair

and about the subject description at these links:
http://www.cnes.fr/web/CNES-en/7432-topics-2009.php?view=item&item=2285
Subject short description :
The candidate will contribute to the development of autonomous orbital rendezvous
guidance algorithms in the general framework of the model predictive control
techniques. To provide rendezvous guidance algorithms with robustness property,
an intuitive idea frequently used in the space industry consists in the following
iterative procedure: 1. Generating a constrained maneuvers plan that leads the deputy vehicle to reach
a final relative state in fixed time from its current state at the time t0.
2. Performing the first maneuver of the plan at the time t1 > t0.
3. Estimating the new current relative state at the time t2 > t1 (e.g. just after
performing the first maneuver).
4. From this new state, generating a new plan of maneuvers to reach the target,
and return to Step 2. Although this heuristic method looks like a closed loop strategy, it is not based
upon a formal and rigorous analysis that solely ensures stability and robustness
with respect to uncertainties and allows performances quantification. To cope with these issues, we intend to tackle the guidance problem in the general
framework of the model predictive control (MPC) techniques. Albeit these methods
take up the reasoning described above – e.g. optimizing control actuation under
constraints on a receding horizon – they are mainly designed to take advantage
from the feedback pieces of information about the gap between nominal and actual
positions and also from the control sequence itself so that it becomes possible
to online adapt the control law, soften the constraints or even evolve the model
used in the algorithm. It is noteworthy that the feedback concept used in this
framework is set upon a specific control structure, adaptive or not, for which
the cost function – which quantifies the rendezvous accuracy – will be an influent
factor on the stability of the whole system. The prospective nature of this way
of investigation consists in replacing the previous heuristics by a formal approach
that sets the stability, ensures robustness against uncertainty and provides good
online performances. Requirements:
For thesis contracts, university candidates or graduates of a Grande Ecole or
engineering school must hold a Master 2 degree awarded by a university, or a suitable
degree enabling them to enrol for their thesis at the relevant doctoral school. To
this subject, knowledge on space relative dynamics and control techniques will also
be appreciated. Application: The application deadline is 31th of March 2010 . The successful candidates might be
selected for an interview process in spring and have to be available for a start between
September and December 2010. Further enquiries should also be directed to these email

POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS i) Systems Biology/Circadian Rhythms
ii) Biomedical Engineering/Diabetes Departments of Chemical Engineering and Biomolecular Science & Engineering
University of California, Santa Barbara There are two project openings, to be filled immediately, in the following areas: i) Systems Biology of Coupled Oscillations in Circadian Rhythm Generation
(ARO and NIH funded) The proposed research will yield an improved understanding
of the organizational principles of coupled biological oscillators and provide
insights into circadian disorders that adversely affect human sleep, physiology
and cognitive functioning. The assembled research team is comprised of an
experimental biologist with expertise in the intracellular and intercellular
processes responsible for mammalian circadian rhythm generation and synchronization,
chemical engineers with expertise in developing and analyzing mathematical
models of gene regulatory and signal transduction networks and of large systems
of coupled biological oscillators, a numerical analyst with expertise in
deterministic and stochastic simulation and the development of professional
grade simulation codes, and an applied mathematician with expertise in large
interacting systems and nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations. ii) Control Algorithm Design for an Artificial Pancreas (NIH and JDRF funded) This project seeks to combine continuous glucose sensing with automated
insulin delivery in a closed-loop system in order to achieve glucose normalization
in subjects with type 1 diabetes. The end result of this line of research will
be an artificial pancreas that will provide around-the-clock glucose regulation
through electronically-controlled short- and long-term insulin delivery in response
to detected patterns of change in glucose levels. Algorithm design and mathematical
modeling are aims for the engineering component of the project. The project
involves collaborations with medical doctors who will conduct the clinical trials.
Candidates for either position should have a Ph.D. Degree in Chemical Engineering,
Bioengineering, or related disciplines with experience or extensive exposure to
mathematical modeling, systems biology, control and dynamics. Strong oral and written
communication skills are a requisite.
