Changchun Hua received the Ph.D degree in electrical engineering from Yanshan University, Qinhuangdao, China, in 2005. He was a research Fellow in National University of Singapore from 2006 to 2007. From 2007 to 2009, he worked in Carleton University, Canada, funded by Province of Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation Program. From 2009 to 2011, he worked in University of Duisburg Essen, Germany, funded by Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. Now he is a full Professor in Yanshan University, China. He is the author or coauthor of more than 110 papers in mathematical, technical journals, and conferences. He has been involved in more than 10 projects supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the National Education Committee Foundation of China, and other important foundations. His research interests are in nonlinear control systems, control systems design over network, teleoperation systems and intelligent control.

Liuliu Zhang received her B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from Yanshan University, Qinhuangdao, China, in 2012. She is currently working toward the Ph.D degree in electrical engineering. Her research interests is in nonlinear time-delay system control, multi-agent systems.

Xinping Guan received the B.S. degree in mathematics from Harbin Normal University, Harbin, China, and the M.S. degree in applied mathematics and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering, both from Harbin Institute of Technology, in 1986, 1991, and 1999, respectively. He is with the Department of Automation, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. He is the (co)author of more than 200 papers in mathematical, technical journals, and conferences. As (a)an (co)-investigator, he has finished more than 20 projects supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), the National Education Committee Foundation of China, and other important foundations. He is Cheung Kong Scholars Programme Special appointment professor. His current research interests include networked control systems, robust control and intelligent control for complex systems and their applications. Dr. Guan is serving as a Reviewer of Mathematic Review of America, a Member of the Council of Chinese Artificial Intelligence Committee, and Chairman of Automation Society of Hebei Province, China.
