MCSS是一份國際期刊，致力于數學控制和系統理論，包括信號處理的系統理論方面。其獨特之處在于對數學系統論的重視;它集中于具有輸入和/或輸出以及動力學的系統的數學理論，這些系統通常由確定性或隨機性的常微分方程或偏微分方程、微分代數方程或差分方程來描述。潛在的主題包括但不限于可控性、可觀察性和實現理論、非線性系統的穩定性理論、系統辨識、切換、混合、網絡化和隨機系統的數學方面，以及最優控制和其他控制器設計技術的系統理論方面。如果有重要的理論貢獻，歡迎面向應用的論文。MCSS的編輯方針是發表原創和高質量的研究論文，其中包含大量的數學貢獻。還將審議關于系統和控制界特別感興趣的主題的面向數學的調查論文。僅應用已知數學技術、現有算法沒有進行數學分析或僅描述仿真研究的論文通常不發表。MCSS既不發表論文，也不發表技術說明。

MCSS is an international journal devoted to mathematical control and system theory, including system theoretic aspects of signal processing.Its unique feature is its focus on mathematical system theory; it concentrates on the mathematical theory of systems with inputs and/or outputs and dynamics that are typically described by deterministic or stochastic ordinary or partial differential equations, differential algebraic equations or difference equations.Potential topics include, but are not limited to controllability, observability, and realization theory, stability theory of nonlinear systems, system identification, mathematical aspects of switched, hybrid, networked, and stochastic systems, and system theoretic aspects of optimal control and other controller design techniques. Application oriented papers are welcome if they contain a significant theoretical contribution.The editorial policy of MCSS is to publish original and high quality research papers which contain a substantial mathematical contribution. Mathematically oriented survey papers on topics of exceptional interest to the systems and control community will also be considered.Papers which merely apply known mathematical techniques, present algorithms without a mathematical analysis or only describe simulation studies are usually not published. MCSS publishes neither brief papers nor technical notes.
