ISA交易是一門關(guān)于測量和自動化的科學(xué)和工程的先進(jìn)和最先進(jìn)的期刊，對先進(jìn)的工業(yè)從業(yè)者和應(yīng)用研究人員有價值。測量的主題包括：傳感器、感知系統(tǒng)、分析器、信號處理、過濾、數(shù)據(jù)壓縮、數(shù)據(jù)校正、故障檢測、推理測量、軟傳感器、硬件接口等；以及支持它們的任何技術(shù)，如人工智能、模糊邏輯、通信系統(tǒng)和過程分析。自動化的主題包括：離散事件和連續(xù)過程控制的統(tǒng)計和確定策略、建模和模擬、事件觸發(fā)、調(diào)度和排序、系統(tǒng)可靠性、質(zhì)量、維護(hù)、管理、損失預(yù)防等；以及任何設(shè)備；支持他們的技術(shù)和最佳做法，如優(yōu)化、學(xué)習(xí)系統(tǒng)、戰(zhàn)略制定、安全、人員接口和培訓(xùn)。目標(biāo)受眾是控制系統(tǒng)、過程儀表、系統(tǒng)和自動化等領(lǐng)域的學(xué)術(shù)界和工業(yè)界的研發(fā)人員。該期刊試圖彌合理論與實(shí)踐之間的差距。這種利益的平衡需要技術(shù)的簡單、可信的論證、基本的基礎(chǔ)，以及在理論和實(shí)踐上與最先進(jìn)的狀態(tài)的連接。

ISA Transactions is a journal of advances and state-of-the-art in the science and engineering of measurement and automation, of value to leading-edge industrial practitioners and applied researchers.The topics of measurement include: sensors, perception systems, analyzers, signal processing, filtering, data compression, data rectification, fault detection, inferential measurement, soft sensors, hardware interfacing, etc.; and any of the techniques that support them such as artificial intelligence, fuzzy logic, communication systems, and process analysis. The topics of automation include: statistical and deterministic strategies for discrete event and continuous process control, modelling and simulation, event triggers, scheduling and sequencing, system reliability, quality, maintenance, management, loss prevention, etc.; and any equipment, techniques and best practices that support them such as optimization, learning systems, strategy development, security, and human interfacing and training.The intended audience is research and development personnel from academe and industry in the fields of control systems, process instrumentation, systems, and automation.The journal seeks to bridge the theory and practice gap. This balance of interests requires simplicity of technique, credible demonstration, fundamental grounding, and connectivity to the state of the art in both theory and practice.
