This paper is motivated by the problem of asymptotically stabilizing invariant sets in the state space of control systems by means of output feedback. The sets considered are smooth embedded in submanifolds and the class of system is…
In a reliable SDN environment, different controllers coordinate different switches and backup controllers can be set in place to tolerate faults. This approach increases the challenge to maintain a consistent network view. If this global…
Topological self-stabilization describes the ability of a distributed system to let the nodes themselves establish a meaningful overlay network. Independent from the initial network topology, the system converges to the desired topology via…
Ensuring the correctness of distributed system implementations remains a challenging and largely unaddressed problem. In this paper we present a protocol that can be used to certify the safety of consensus implementations. Our proposed…
This work considers load-balance control among the relays under the secure transmission protocol via relay cooperation in two-hop wireless networks without the information of both eavesdropper channels and locations. The available two-hop…
Stability is an important issue in order to characterize the performance of a network, and it has become a major topic of study in the last decade. Roughly speaking, a communication network system is said to be stable if the number of…
Self-stabilization is a versatile approach to fault-tolerance since it permits a distributed system to recover from any transient fault that arbitrarily corrupts the contents of all memories in the system. Byzantine tolerance is an…
A spatially distributed system contains a large amount of agents with limited sensing, data processing, and communication capabilities. Recent technological advances have opened up possibilities to deploy spatially distributed systems for…
We study networked control of non-linear systems where system states and tentative plant input sequences are transmitted over unreliable communication channels. The sequences are calculated recursively by using a pre-designed nominally…
This paper studies stochastic aperiodic stabilization of a networked control system (NCS) consisting of a continuous-time plant and a discrete-time controller. The plant and the controller are assumed to be connected by communication…
We present the first self-stabilizing consensus and replicated state machine for asynchronous message passing systems. The scheme does not require that all participants make a certain number of steps prior to reaching a practically infinite…
Motivated by recent security issues in cyber-physical systems, this technical note studies the stabilization problem of networked control systems under Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. In particular, we consider to stabilize a nonlinear…
Contention resolution addresses the problem of coordinating access to a shared channel. Time proceeds in slots, and a packet transmission can be made in any slot. A packet is successfully sent if no other packet is also transmitted during…
A notion of disturbance propagation stability is defined for dynamical network processes, in terms of decrescence of an input-output energy metric along cutsets away from the disturbance source. A characterization of the disturbance…
Network alignment generalizes and unifies several approaches for forming a matching or alignment between the vertices of two graphs. We study a mathematical programming framework for network alignment problem and a sparse variation of it…
We investigate the stabilization of unstable multidimensional partially observed single-sensor and multi-sensor linear systems driven by unbounded noise and controlled over discrete noiseless channels under fixed-rate information…
We consider the problem of stabilization of a linear system, under state and control constraints, and subject to bounded disturbances and unknown parameters in the state matrix. First, using a simple least square solution and available…
This paper deals with stability of discrete-time switched linear systems whose all subsystems are unstable and the set of admissible switching signals obeys pre-specified restrictions on switches between the subsystems and dwell times on…
Power allocation is one of the fundamental problems in wireless networks and a wide variety of algorithms address this problem from different perspectives. A common element among these algorithms is that they rely on an estimation of the…
This paper deals a continuous-time state-dependent jump linear system, a particular kind of stochastic switching system. In particular, we consider a situation when the transition rate of the random jump process depends on the state…
