Scope of t he Journal
IJ IT is a fully refereed international journal which presents the latest developments
to assist researchers in various industries, institutes, R&D labs and policy makers
working in the field of engineering and automation technology. IJ IT publishes
modelling, simulation, design, and implementation aspects of measurement and
control technology-related original papers, review papers, technical notes and
correspondence. Applications papers may not necessarily involve novel theory, but
those which describe new realisations of established methods for measurement
and instrumentation which compare various designs are covered along with the
latest research including theoretical papers which discuss the applicability of
original ideas which engender new theoretical applications.
Subject coverage:
Suitable topics include, but are not limited to:
Fundamentals of instrumentation and
control components
Transducer principles and measurement
techniques
Computational electromagnetics and EMC
Metrology and the theory of measurement
Signal processing techniques for
measurement and sensor-actuator systems
Industrial networks and communication
protocols
Signal conditioning, data acquisition
systems and telemetry
PLCs/SCADA/DCS/automation
Mechatronics, including smart sensors and
MEMS
Biomedical instrumentation
Remote engineering and virtual
instrumentation
Recent developments in automation and
control
