We are glad to present to the scientific community this book entitled ?Impact and Advancesof Automatic Control in Latinamerica? as a representative and special sample of thecontributions from ten countries from America and Europe. For this edition, we selected fiftynine papers surprisingly classified in 16 areas onto the Automatic Control field.It seems that the recent advances in the knowledge about the human being motivate thedevelopment of new theoretical and applied subfields promoting the people welfare asobjective function for all our control systems designs and applications.Artificial intelligence, Automation, Biomedical/bioengineering, Bioprocesses, Intelligentcontrol, Linear systems, Mobile robots, New energies, Nonlinear systems, Observers,Optimization, Power systems, Process control, Process control/green houses, Robotics andSignal processing are the selected topics that we want to share with students, researchers andpractitioners.Even if we couldn?t agree about the classification of the papers in those areas, we are veryhappy to introduce the result of the hard work of many people that generously shared theirnew knowledge and smart solutions to specific problems with our very hard-to-believecommunity.Here you can find a compendium of contributions that reflect such a wide variety in our field.From the mathematical formalism of the Control Theory and Signal Processing to theconcern about the solution of problems related to traffic, new energies and differently abledpeople, among others.We hope you enjoy as much as we did the reading of these papers and highly encourage youto follow the steps of the ones that everyday work to do Science from the ControlEngineering point of view.We would like to acknowledge Luz Elena and Alejandro for their incomparable support.
