Title

"Networked Control Systems with Communication Protocols: Challenges and Progress"

Abstract

In this talk, we talk about a few networked control systems with communication protocols. Some background knowledge is first introduced on communication protocols from the perspectives of concepts, applications and challenges. Then, some detailed discussions are given on the network-induced phenomena, communication protocols and cyber-attacks that complicate the controller/filter design problems. Various performance requirements are justified and the corresponding methodologies are summarized. Challenges and progresses are discussed. Finally, we conclude our main contributions and some future directions.
