About the journal
Journal of Intelligent and Robotic Systems |
Theory and Applications (Incorporating Mechatronic Systems Engineering)
|
The main objective of the Journal of Intelligent and Robotic Systems is to provide a forum for the fruitful interaction of ideas and techniques that combine systems and control science with artificial intelligence -- and other related computer science -- concepts. On the application side, the emphasis is given to industrial robotic systems, of course focusing on intelligent and sensory control problems. Papers on real applications of intelligent and robotic systems (mechatronics, manufacturing systems, biomedical systems, underwater and space applications, etc.) are most welcome. On the theoretical side, papers focusing on intelligent systems engineering, outlining new concepts and approaches in the field of intelligent systems and intelligent control are equally welcome. The journal bridges the gap between theory and practice, and stimulates interaction between workers carrying out theoretical and applied research. Main features of accepted papers will be originality, novelty, timeliness, and clarity of presentation. Papers that suggest new avenues of research or new developments on any aspect of the subject matter of the journal are most welcome.

Instructions to Authors
Manuscripts intended for publication in the Journal of Intelligent and Robotic Systems should be written in English and four copies should submitted to the following address: Journals Office (JIRSTA) Kluwer Academic Publishers P.O. Box 990 3300 AZ Dordrecht The Netherlands Tel. (31) 78-6576000 Fax. (31) 78-6576555
To facilitate the selection of referees, and to ensure that the submitted paper is fairly dealt with, authors are requested to indicate into which of the following categories their papers fall:
- Artificial Intelligence/Expert Systems/Knowledge-Based Systems Applications: Repair, diagnosis, planning, explanation, etc.
- Systems Modelling/Simulation/Control/Computer-Aided Design
- Robotic Modelling/Robot Control/Teleoperation/Moving Robots, etc.
- Signal Estimation/Signal Processing/Image Processing/Information Processing
- Intelligent Systems/Intelligent Control/Fuzzy Control/Prosthetics/Robot Motion Planning
- Robotic Sensing/Drives-Actuators/Man-Machine Interaction and related topics
- Robot Vision/Computer Vision
- AI in Robotics and Manufacturing/FMS-CIM/Automation Applications
- Decision Support Systems and applications to management and economics
- Database Systems/Conceptual Modelling/Intelligent Interfaces/Intelligent Database
- Communications and Multidimensional Signals Applications
- Other (please specify)
It is only necessary that the category number(s) are indicated on the first page - i.e., Category (2) or Categories (1), (2).
Manuscripts should be typed on one side of the paper (preferably A4 size), double spaced, with wide margins. Mimeographed copies will not be accepted unless clearly legible.
The first page of the manuscript should include the title of the paper; the author‘s name and affiliation; a short abstract of between 100 and 300 words which clearly summarises the paper; and a list of key words.
Where papers have long titles, a shortened version of not more than 46 characters should be indicated for running headlines.
Authors of longer papers are encouraged to divide their papers into sections with appropriate sub-headings.
Key words supplied by the author should appear on a line following the abstract and will be used in a short index at the end of each volume of the journal. The key words selected should be comprehensive and subject specific. It is not necessary to list the subject area of the Journal‘s coverage as a key word. Six to ten key words should be sufficient to cover the major subjects of a given paper, although more can always be supplied if the author deems it necessary.
General terms should not appear as key words, as they have little use as information retrieval tools. Please, choose key words to be as specific as possible, and list the most specific first, proceeding to the most general last.
Copyright
The Author will be asked, upon acceptance of an article, to transfer copyright to the publisher.
Units
All scienctific and technical data presented should be stated in SI units, except in unavoidable circumstances.
Footnotes
Footnotes should be kept to an absolute mimimum and used only when essential.
Formulae
Formulae should be type-written whenever possible. Alternatively, a fine drawing pen and black ink should be used. It is extremely important that all mathematical symbols and letters are identified and listed and that the required style of appearance of such symbols is clearly indicated, e.g., bold face, italics, script, outline, fraktur, etc. Sub- and super-script should be clearly indicated where confusion might arise. Use a full stop as a decimal sign. Identify in the margin any symbols that might be confused with similar symbols, e.g., letter l and Figure 1, capital O and figure 0, letter e, Greek ¦Å, letter v and Greek ¦Í, etc.
Computer printout of programs etc. should be supplied, whenever possible, as camera-ready copy, suitable for direct offset reproduction, in order to avoid time-consuming checking and validation procedures.
Tables
Tables, which should be typed on separate sheets, must be numbered consecutively with Roman numerals and have titles. They should be prepared in such a manner that no break is necessary. The use of vertical lines in tables is strongly discouraged.
The approximate required locations of the tables should be indicated in the left-hand margin of the MS.
Figures
Authors should appreciate the importance of good-quality illustrations. All graphs and diagrams should be referred to as "Figure?(not abbreviated) in the text. Where required, a detailed caption should be provided for each figure and a list of all captions provided on a separate sheet. The approximate required location of each figure should be indicated at the appropriate place in the margin.
Line drawings should be in Indian ink on white matt paper or tracing paper. Glossy white photographs, with the top clearly indicated, are acceptable.
Figures should be numbered consecutively, and should be identified with the first author‘s name and title of the paper using a soft blue pencil (on the back of photographs, in the margin on tracing paper).
All illustrations should be approximately twice the final size with lettering large enough to be legible after reduction.
References
The references should be listed at the end of the paper, in alphabetical order. Reference citations in the text may be indicated by the author‘s name followed by the year of publication. The forms of a typical reference to an article in a conference volume, a journal article, and a monograph are indicated below.

Proofs
The author will be sent two sets of page proofs of the article from the typesetter (with an annotated copy of the MS), and is requested to return one, corrected, with the MS to the publisher without delay.
In the case of proofs not being returned in time, they may be read by the Editor or the Publisher against a second copy of the MS and passed for publication without the author‘s comments.
Offprints
Twenty-five offprints of each article will be provided free of charge to the named author. Additional offprints can be ordered against payment, when proofs are returned to the publisher.
Page Charges
No page charges are levied on authors or their institutions, except for special cases such as the reproduction of figures in colour.
