Hybrid systems are systems that comprise continuous and discrete/logic dynamics simultaneously, typical application areas of which include automotive, manufacturing process, networked control systems, traffic control, and smart grids. Hybrid systems have been one of the central focuses in control theory and engineering in the last several decades and have enjoyed renewed interest recently, with a number of emerging theories, methods, and applications.

This special issue is to report the most recent advances on hybrid systems with emphasis on theoretical results and applications.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Modeling of hybrid systems
• Analysis and design of hybrid systems
• Hybrid systems with time delays
• Applications of hybrid system in networked control systems, multiagent systems, power system, and so on
