Motivation and Scope:

Large-scale networked control systems have been attracting a great amount of attention in recent years due to their vast applications in many areas such as power systems, robotics, smart transportation. Higher closed-loop performance requires more network channels, which may conversely influence the closed-loop performance through exacerbating the QoS of network such as delays, packet dropouts. In addition, the massive network channels could incur different kinds of malicious attacks. This special session welcomes new advances on all aspects of large-scale networked control systems and multi-agent systems.

Session topics include but not limited to:

1,	The influences of communication topology on closed-loop performance of large-scale networked control systems
2,	Co-design of feedback topology and control for large-scale networked control systems
3,	Secure control or estimation of networked control systems subject to malicious attacks
4,	Detection methods of malicious attacks imposed on networked control systems
5,	Smart control of large-scale networked control systems, including interconnected power systems, interconnected transportation systems, etc.

Paper submission:

Prospective authors are invited to submit full-length papers before the submission deadline through the online submission system at https://www.smartchair.org/LSMS2024-ICSEE2024/. Further, proposals for special sessions within the technical scopes of the conference are most welcome. Papers submitted for special sessions will be peer-reviewed with the same criteria as used with regular papers. A special session proposal should include the session title, a brief description, and the names, contact details and bio-sketch of the organizers.
