Springer is now publishing the Journal of Control, Automation and Electrical Systems, a new journal in partnership with the Brazilian Society for Automatics (SBA). Formerly known as Controle and Automação, the new journal will publish six times per year, and all articles will be available on Springer's online platform, SpringerLink.

The Journal of Control, Automation and Electrical Systems covers industrial automation, addressing such topics as circuits and systems; control theory and applications; discrete event systems; education in control, automation; and electronic and biomedical instrumentation. The journal combines theoretical developments and application studies involving state-of-the-art research. In doing so, the Journal of Control, Automation and Electrical Systems offers a truly interdisciplinary forum in industrial automation, intelligent systems, robotics, control theory and power systems.

"The Journal of Control, Automation and Electrical Systems inherited a high profile and long academic tradition since it will now be replacing Controle & Automação, and is further distinguished by the fact that it will now be truly international through this collaboration with Springer," said Ivan Nunes de Silva of the University of São Paulo, the journal's Editor-in-Chief. "For forthcoming issues of the Journal, we invite researchers in related areas to submit their best, truly innovative and rigorous work to the Journal of Control, Automation and Electrical Systems."

Charles Glaser, Springer's Executive Editor for Applied Sciences, USA, remarked, "We are very pleased to be able to collaborate with the SBA on the publication of Journal of Control, Automation and Electrical Systems. The 24th volume of this journal is the result of an evolution toward an international, interdisciplinary forum for the highest quality research. This content fits well into the core of our engineering publishing program and is an extremely valuable addition to our journal collection. We look forward to working with the SBA, toward our mutual success."

The SBA was incorporated as a scientific society of national scope, whose primary objective is to promote science, and automatic control technology and its applications, in its broadest sense, in Brazil.
