Recent works in the domain of networked control systems have demonstrated that the joint design of medium access control strategies and control strategies for the closed-loop system is beneficial. However, several metrics introduced so far…
We consider a revenue optimizing seller selling a single item to a buyer, on whose private value the seller has a noisy signal. We show that, when the signal is kept private, arbitrarily more revenue could potentially be extracted than if…
Feedback control is a renowned mechanism for attenuating intrinsic fluctuation in regulatory networks. However, its impact on the response sensitivity to external signals and the response timescale, which are also critical for signal…
In Beyond5G and 6G networks, a common theme is that sensing will play a more significant role than ever before. Over this trend, Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) is focused on unifying the sensing functionalities and the…
Time-triggered and event-triggered control strategies for stabilization of an unstable plant over a rate-limited communication channel subject to unknown, bounded delay are studied and compared. Event triggering carries implicit…
In applications such as remote estimation and monitoring, update packets are transmitted by power-constrained devices using short-packet codes over wireless networks. Therefore, networks need to be end-to-end optimized using information…

Control laws for selective transfer of information encoded in excitations of a quantum network, based on shaping the energy landscape using time-invariant, spatially-varying bias fields, can be successfully designed using numerical…
The emergent behavior of a distributed system is conditioned by the information available to the local decision-makers. Therefore, one may expect that providing decision-makers with more information will improve system performance; in this…
Although resource-limited networked autonomous systems must be able to efficiently and effectively accomplish tasks, better conservation of resources often results in worse task performance. We specifically address the problem of finding…
All communication networks comprise of transmission systems and switching systems, even though they are usually treated as two separate issues. Communication channels are generally disturbed by noise from various sources. In circuit…
Fundamental limitations or performance trade-offs/limits are important properties and constraints of both control and filtering systems. Among various trade-off metrics, total information rate that characterizes the sensitivity trade-offs…
In the context of event-triggered control, the timing of the triggering events carries information about the state of the system that can be used for stabilization. At each triggering event, not only can information be transmitted by the…
Suppose we have a Bayesian model which combines evidence from several different sources. We want to know which model parameters most affect the estimate or decision from the model, or which of the parameter uncertainties drive the decision…
We propose an information-theoretic framework for analyzing control systems based on the close relationship of controllers to communication channels. A communication channel takes an input state and transforms it into an output state. A…
We show that under mild assumptions, the total value of information to informed traders in the market can be measured by the covariance between price changes and order flow. This covariance captures noise trader losses, which equal informed…
The interplay between timeliness and rate efficiency is investigated in packet erasure broadcast channels with feedback. A scheduling framework is proposed in which coding actions, as opposed to users, are scheduled to attain desired…
We present a universal concept for the Value of Information (VoI), based on the works of Claude Shannon's and Ruslan Stratonovich that can take into account very general preferences of the agents and results in a single number. As such it…
How much value does a dataset or a data production process have to an agent who wishes to use the data to assist decision-making? This is a fundamental question towards understanding the value of data as well as further pricing of data.…
Decision makers involved in the management of civil assets and systems usually take actions under constraints imposed by societal regulations. Some of these constraints are related to epistemic quantities, as the probability of failure…
