A special issue of International Journal of Systems, Control and Communications
This special issue aims at disseminating the latest in interdisciplinary research on the theory and application of networked control systems (NCS). The increasing use of heterogeneous communication media as part of the control loop challenges conventional assumptions of perfect communication and instantaneous observation, and has given rise to a number of complementary efforts to devise analysis and design tools for NCS. The issue focuses on presenting, in a coherent context, research that attempts to address control and communication issues simultaneously. In particular, authors are encouraged to submit cross-disciplinary contributions, emphasising the importance of control, communication, networking, and sensor aspects of NCS.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Control and stability (e.g., control of networks, control over networks, hybrid, and distributed control)
- Networks (e.g., fieldbuses, wireless and sensor networks, scheduling, fault-tolerance, security)
- Architecture (e.g., integrated communication and control, multi-layering, cross-layering, QoS)
- Analysis (e.g., formal modelling, verification, evaluation, validation, simulation)
- Applications (e.g., robotics and multi-agent systems, embedded systems, factory and building automation, energy and environment, transportation).
Submission Deadline: January 30, 2009
