Doctor YangQuan Chen has authored over 200 academic papers plus numerous technical reports. He co-authored two textbooks: "System Simulation Techniques with MATLAB®/Simulink" (with Dingyu Xue . Tsinghua University Press, April 2002, ISBN 7-302-05341-3/TP3137, in Chinese) and "Solving Advanced Applied Mathematical Problems Using Matlab" (with Dingyu Xue. Tsinghua University Press. August 2004. 419 pages in Chinese, ISBN 7-302-09311-3/O.392); and six research monographs: "Plastic Belt for Projectiles" (with Y. Shi. Shaanxi Science and Technology Press, Jan. 1995, ISBN 7-5369-2277-9/TJ.1, in Chinese), "Iterative Learning Control " (with C. Wen . Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences, Springer-Verlag, Nov. 1999, ISBN: 978-1-85233-190-0), “Iterative Learning Control” (with Hyo-Sung Ahn and Kevin L. Moore. Springer, July 2007, ISBN: 978-1-84628-846-3), “Optimal Observation for Cyber-physical Systems”(with Zhen Song, Chellury Sastry and Nazif Tas. Springer, July 2009, ISBN: 978-1-84882-655-7), “Fractional-order Systems and Controls” (with Concepción A. Monje, Blas M. Vinagre, Dingyu Xue and Vicente Feliu, ISBN: 978-1-84996-334-3), and “Optimal Mobile Sensing and Actuation Strategies in Cyber-physical Systems” (with Christophe Tricaud). His current research interests include autonomous navigation and intelligent control of a team of unmanned ground vehicles, machine vision for control and automation, distributed control systems (MAS-net: mobile actuator-sensor networks), fractional-order control, interval computation, and iterative/repetitive/adaptive learning control. Currently, he serves as an Associate Editor for IEEE Control Systems Society, Conference Editorial Board (CSSCEB ). He was also an Associate Editor of ISA Review Board for AACC 's American Control Conference ( ACC2005 ). He has been the Co-Organizer and Instructor of the Tutorial Workshops on “Fractional-order Calculus in Control and Robotics” at IEEE 2002 Conference onDecision and Control (CDC’02), and “Applied Fractional Calculus in Controls and Signal Processing” at CDC’10 and a founding member of the ASME subcommittee on “Fractional Dynamics”.

From the reviews:“The book presents the theory and applications of an interesting domain in the area of signal science and technology: fractional processes and fractional order signal processing. … The volume gives answers to several important questions related to fractional systems … . A collection of very useful MATLAB codes is gives together with a useful list of Web addresses. Finally, we think that the present volume will soon become a reference book in the area of fractional signal processing and systems.” (Dumitru Stanomir, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1245, 2012)
