Special Issue Proposal on

Design, Modeling, Sensing, Actuation and Control for

Micro/Nano Scale Systems (DMSAC-MNSS)
Micro/nano scale systems (MNSS) have been drawn much attention in control field
recently due to its significance in various biomedical engineering applications. With the
trend toward automation of the manipulations involved in biomedical engineering
applications, developing an autonomous control MNSS is essential and urgently required.
Furthermore, advanced design, modeling, sensing, actuation and control techniques are
crucially important for the development of MNSS that can achieve biomedical processing
with high speed, throughput, precision and complexity. With the advances in micro-electro-
mechanical systems (MEMS), robotics, and automatic control, it is opportunistic to exploit
them for the benefit of the achievement of MNSS with high precision, complexity and
reliability.
Main intention of this special issue is to provide a premier international platform for wide
range of professions including scholars, researchers and engineers to share the latest
advances in design, manufacturing, sensing, actuation, modeling, and control of MNSS. The
manuscripts contribute to design, modeling, sensor, actuator and control of MNSS are
solicited, including, but not limited to, the following topics:

⋆ MNSS integration and modeling ⋆ Smart MNSS

⋆ MNSS manufacturing ⋆ Non-fragile and resilient control design for
⋆ MNSS sensing MNSS
⋆ MNSS actuation ⋆ Automation in MNSS
⋆ MNSS advanced design ⋆ Micro/Nano robot
⋆ MNSS advanced control design ⋆ Artificial intelligence application in MNSS
⋆ MNSS fault diagnosis ⋆ Applications to biomedical engineering
⋆ MNSS reliability
