Abstract :
This second issue of 2015 collects some papers in the area of communications, information technology, power systems, aerospace, cyberphysical systems, and system engineering. Papers address various topics encompassing theory, technologies, design methodologies, and applications. In order to increase the effectiveness in serving our community, the IEEE Systems Council (which is sponsoring our journal) approved a new policy concerning the page limits, i.e., up to 8 pages are complimentary (including text, figures, and tables, as well as optional authors´ biographies and photographs) and up to additional 4 pages are allowed with the extra page charge of $150 per page. This new policy will apply to all papers submitted from January 1, 2015, including tutorial and survey papers. If you have any comments, suggestions, recommendations, or criticisms about this journal, please do not hesitate to contact the Editor in Chief.
