Networked control systems (NCSs) have received considerable attention in recent years. The interest for NCSs is motivated by many benefits they
offer such as the ease of maintenance and installation, the large flexibility and the low cost. In addition, wireless communication offers further
advantages as expensive, vulnerable, and potentially heavy cables can be removed, which is appealing for many control applications, especially those
with moving parts. However, before all the advantages of wired and wireless networked control systems can be harvested, many issues need to be
resolved. Next to improvements in the communication infrastructure itself, there is a need for control algorithms and effective communication
protocols that jointly can deal with communication imperfections such as delays and packet loss, and constraints prohibiting all data being
communicated simultaneously. This tutorial workshop aims at providing a comprehensive and compact overview of various successful research lines
within NCS thereby covering all steps in a control design process. Topics included in this workshop range from modeling of (wireless) communication
networks to stability and performance analysis using diverse theoretical frameworks, and from estimation and controller design problems to numerical
tools supporting the design flow. During the tutorial several potential application domains in high‐tech and large‐scale systems will be
highlighted, including the control of water distribution networks.
The following lectures will be given within the tutorial workshop:
- 1. Mikael Johansson (KTH, Stockholm, Sweden ): Title: Control relevant models for wireless
communication;
- 2. Maurice Heemels (Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, The Netherlands) Title: Stability
and
stabilization of networked control
systems;
- 3. Dragan Nesic (University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia) Title: Emulation-based controllers for
networked control systems;
- 4. Joao Hespanha (University of California at Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, USA) Title: Stochastic
networked
control systems and
stochastic
hybrid systems;
- 5. Alberto Bemporad (University of Trento, Trento, Italy) Title: MPC design methods for networked
systems;
- 6. Vladimir Havlena (Honeywell, Prague, Czech Republic) Title: Distributed and network-aware
estimation.
