Analysis and design of networked control systems using the additive noise model methodology

Abstract

Networked control has emerged in recent years as a new and exciting area in systems science. The topic has many potential applications in diverse areas ranging from control of microrobots to biological and economic systems. The supporting theory is very rich and combines aspects of control, signal processing, telecommunications, and information theory. In this paper, we give a partial overview of recent developments in Networked Control with an emphasis on the additive noise model methodology. We also point to several open problems in this emerging area. © 2010 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society.
