Distributed Control for Cyber-Physical Systems
About this ebook
Cyber-physical systems combine physical devices with computational resources for control and communication. Controls are of key importance for maintaining and stabilizing the operation of the physical dynamics in these complicated systems. Distributed Cyber-Physical Control Systems takes a vertical slice through distributed control systems to consider the major subproblems and their interactions in numerous environments. Distributed Cyber-Physical Control Systems provides an important support for researchers and practitioners in this rapidly developing and changing area.
- Offers engineers, researchers and student with a state-of-the-art, comprehensive compendium of techniques, methodologies, and results of cyber-physical design on distributed control systems
- Utilizes examples from real-world systems that use distributed control, such as automobiles, aircraft, energy systems, manufacturing, etc. to illustrate key concepts
- Extensive pedagogy for teaching and learning
