The Journal of Dynamic Systems, Measurement and Control
is published quarterly by the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers.  It publishes theoretical and applied original
papers in the traditional areas implied by its name, as well
as papers  in interdisciplinary areas such as transportation
and bioengineering. Applied papers are especially encouraged,
provided a significant portion of their content can be
transferred to a new situation or they cover an original
and creative application of a currently used theoretical methods.
