Complex networked systems refer to networks of interacting agents, which have been actively studied due to their fundamental scientific, technological, financial, and societal significance.The commonly studied complex networks include but are not limited to social networks, communication networks, sensor networks, actuator networks, economic networks, transportation networks, biological networks, power networks, and autonomous robot networks.This special issue focuses on modeling and control of complex networked systems.It tries to understand not only the complex networked systems' characteristics but also the design of control strategies to achieve desired collective behaviors.Call for papers has been carefully prepared by the guest editors and posted on the journal's web page, which has received much attention from researchers in different scientific communities.We have received 31 papers in this research fields.All manuscripts submitted to this special issue went through a thorough peer-refereeing process.Based on the reviewers' reports, 15 original
