Nonlinear Stochastic Systems with Incomplete Information

Zidong Wang is currently Professor of Dynamical Systems and Computing at Brunel University, West London, United Kingdom. From January 1997 to December 1998, he was an Alexander von Humboldt research fellow with the Control Engineering Laboratory, Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany. From January 1999 to February 2001, he was a Lecturer with the Department of Mathematics, University of Kaiserslautern, Germany. From March 2001 to July 2002, he was a University Senior Research Fellow with the School of Mathematical and Information Sciences, Coventry University, U.K. In August 2002, he joined the Department of Information Systems and Computing, Brunel University, U.K., as a Lecturer, and was then promoted to a Reader in September 2003 and to a Chair Professor in July 2007. Professor Wang's research interests include dynamical systems, signal processing, bioinformatics, control theory and applications. He has published more than 200 papers in refereed international journals. His publications have received more than 5000 citations (excluding self-citations) with h-index 48. He was awarded the Humboldt research fellowship in 1996 from Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, the JSPS Research Fellowship in 1998 from Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, and the William Mong Visiting Research Fellowship in 2002 from the University of Hong Kong. Professor Wang serves as an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks, IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics - Part C, IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, Circuits, Systems & Signal Processing, Asian Journal of Control, an Action Editor for Neural Networks, an Editorial Board Member for International Journal of Systems Science, Neurocomputing, International Journal of Computer Mathematics, International Journal of General Systems, and an Associate Editor on the Conference Editorial Board for the IEEE Control Systems Society. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE, a Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society, a member of program committee for many international conferences, and a very active reviewer for many international journals. He was nominated an appreciated reviewer for IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing in 2006-2008 and 2011, an appreciated reviewer for IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems in 2008; an outstanding reviewer for IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control in 2004 and for the journal Automatica in 2000.

From the book reviews: "This research monograph deals with filtering and control problems for various classes of non-linear stochastic systems with incomplete information, in particular in the framework of networked control systems. ... The book can be useful for graduate and postgraduate students and for researchers." (Tomas Cipra, zbMATH, Vol. 1275, 2014) "This monograph offers a comprehensive overview of nonlinear and stochastic filtering and control with incomplete information. ... This book will be of interest to researchers and practitioners working with networked control systems, or in other situations where measurement information may be compromised in some manner." (IEEE Control Systems Magazine, October, 2013)
