Networked control systems often send information across the communication network in a
periodic manner. The selected period, however, must assure adequate system performance …

First, we review some previous work on networked control systems (NCSs) and offer some
improvements. Then, we summarize the fundamental issues in NCSs and examine them …

A cyber-physical system (CPS) is composed of tightly-integrated computation,
communication and physical elements. Medical devices, buildings, mobile devices, robots …

In this 25th year anniversary paper for the IEEE Real Time Systems Symposium, we review
the key results in real-time scheduling theory and the historical events that led to the …

Nature discovered feedback long ago. It created feedback mechanisms and exploited them
at all levels, that are central to homeostasis and life. As a technology, control dates back at …

Featuring contributions from major technology vendors, industry consortia, and government
and private research establishments, the Industrial Communication Technology Handbook …

Feedback control systems wherein the control loops are closed through a real-time network
are called networked control systems (NCSs). The insertion of the communication network in …

We consider continuous time switched systems that are stabilized via a computer. Several
factors (sampling, computer computation, communications through a network, etc.) introduce …

This brief addresses the problem of the optimal control and scheduling of networked control
systems over limited bandwidth deterministic networks. Multivariable linear systems subject …

In this paper, we first identify the potential violations of control assumptions inherent in
standard real-time scheduling approaches (because of the presence of jitters) that causes …
