The Early Career Advisory Board (ECAB) of IEEE/CAA Journal of Automatica Sinica (JAS) is pleased to present the ninth Symposium Series in 2022 on finite/fixed-time control and applications of autonomous unmanned systems and cyber-physical systems, to be held online on September 3, 2022.

The Symposium Series is technically sponsored by the IEEE/CAA JAS and aims to provide a research venue for researchers, students and control engineers to exchange ideas and discuss the technical trends and challenges in the area of automation science and engineering. The Series brings together a set of one day or half day symposia at a common site, currently being planned as an online event given the pandemic situation, but IEEE/CAA JAS will be monitoring the pandemic situation and will announce any modifications to this plan. The Series will run multiple times yearly and different symposium topics will be solicited from the current ECAB members.

The ninth Symposium Series is devoted to recent advances in finite/fixed-time control, discussing current hotspots and applications in autonomous unmanned systems and cyber-physical systems, hosted by two ECAB members Dr. Junkang Ni and Dr. Jian Liu.

Accepted papers will be distributed as widely as possible over the subfields of control theroy and applications. Most excitingly, all accepted papers will be recommended to and published in the IEEE/CAA JAS as Letter when passing peer review.
