This paper deals with the global stability of time-delayed dynamical networks. We show that for a time-delayed dynamical network with non-distributed delays the network and the corresponding non-delayed network are both either globally…
We consider the problem of distributing a control policy across a network of interconnected units. Distributing controllers in this way has a number of potential advantages, especially in terms of robustness, as the failure of a single unit…

This paper investigates sensor scheduling for state estimation of complex networks over shared transmission channels. For a complex network of dynamical systems, referred to as nodes, a sensor network is adopted to measure and estimate the…
One of the main drawbacks while implementing the interaction between a plant and a supervisor, synthesised by the supervisory control theory of \citeauthor{RW:1987}, is the inexact synchronisation. \citeauthor{balemiphdt} was the first to…
The mean-field framework has been used to find approximate solutions to problems involving very large populations of symmetric, anonymous agents, which may be intractable by other methods. The cooperative mean-field control (MFC) problem…
Adaptive cooperative tracking control with prescribed performance function (PPF) is proposed for high-order nonlinear multi-agent systems. The tracking error originally within a known large set is confined to a smaller predefined set using…
We consider networked control systems consisting of multiple independent controlled subsystems, operating over a shared communication network. Such systems are ubiquitous in cyber-physical systems, Internet of Things, and large-scale…
Rollout control is an MPC-based control method, in which a controller is periodically activated to schedule the transmission of sensor or actuator data. Therein, a preassigned traffic specification acts as a constraint on the scheduled…
Traditional communication networks consist of large sets of vendor-specific manually configurable devices which are hardwired with specific control logic or algorithms. The resulting networks comprise distributed control plane architectures…
The paradigm of layered networks is used to describe many real-world systems -- from biological networks, to social organizations and transportation systems. Recently there has been much progress in understanding the general properties of…
In practice, we can not only disable some events, but also enforce the occurrence of some events prior to the occurrence of other events by external control. In this paper, we combine these two control mechanisms to synthesize a more…
Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) serves as a one-size-fits-all solution for mixed-criticality communication, in which flow scheduling is vital to guarantee real-time transmissions. Traditional approaches statically assign priorities to flows…
Synchronization is ubiquitous in nature, which is mathematically described by coupled oscillators. Synchronization strongly depends on the interaction network, and the network plays a crucial role in controlling the dynamics. To understand…

This paper addresses a scheduling problem in the context of a cyber-physical system where a sensor and a controller communicate over an unreliable channel. The sensor observes the state of a source at each time, and according to a…

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…
