A Network Control System (NCS) consists of control components that interact with the plant over a shared network. The system dynamics of a NCS could be subject to noise arising from randomness in the times at which the data is transmitted…
Synchronization in networks with delayed coupling are ubiquitous in nature and play a key role in almost all fields of science including physics, biology, ecology, climatology and sociology. In general, the published works on network…
This paper studies synchronization of dynamical networks with event-based communication. Firstly, two estimators are introduced into each node, one to estimate its own state, and the other to estimate the average state of its neighbours.…

We study the distributed optimization of transmit strategies in a multiple-input, single-output (MISO) interference channel (IFC). Existing distributed algorithms rely on stricly synchronized update steps by the individual users. They…

Manufacturing systems may be subject to external attacks and failures, so it is important to deal with the recovery of the system after these situations. This paper deals with the problem of recovering a manufacturing system, modeled as a…
This paper investigates the problem of consensus-based distributed control of linear time-invariant multi-channel systems subject to unknown inputs. A distributed observer-based control framework is proposed, within which observer nodes and…
In-phase synchronization is a special case of synchronous behavior when coupled oscillators have the same phases for any time moments. Such behavior appears naturally for nearly identical coupled limit-cycle oscillators when the coupling…
