COORDINATION CONTROL OF DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS KAR...

This book describes how control of distributed systems can be advanced by an integration of
control  communication  and computation. The global control objectives are met by judicious
combinations of local and nonlocal observations taking advantage of various forms of
communication exchanges between distributed controllers. Control architectures are considered
according to increasing degrees of cooperation of local controllers: fully distributed or
decentralized control  control with communication between controllers  coordination control 
and multilevel control. The book covers also topics bridging computer science  communication 
and control  like communication for control of networks  average consensus for distributed
systems  and modeling and verification of discrete and of hybrid systems. Examples and case
studies are introduced in the first part of the text and developed throughout the book. They
include: control of underwater vehicles  automated-guided vehicles on a container terminal 
control of a printer as a complex machine  and control of an electric power system. The book is
composed of short essays each within eight pages  including suggestions and references for
further research and reading. By reading the essays collected in the book Coordination Control
of Distributed Systems  graduate students and post-docs will be introduced to the research
frontiers in control of decentralized and of distributed systems. Control theorists and
practitioners with backgrounds in electrical  mechanical  civil and aerospace engineering will
find in the book information and inspiration to transfer to their fields of interest the
state-of-art in coordination control.
