Observability is a basic, yet challenging, issue when studying Boolean control networks (BCNs). Recently, criterion for observability of controllable BCNs was proposed by using the algebraic representation logical dynamics based on technique semi-tensor product matrices. In this paper, we present new necessary and sufficient conditions guaranteeing BCN without preassuming its controllability. The are hence more general. Some examples worked out to illustrate obtained results. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
