Communications for Control in Cyber Physical Systems

Preface

Husheng Li

It is prohibitively difficult to introduce all the aspects of a cyber physical system (CPS), since it consists of many technologies such as computing, control and communications, and concerns both theoretical elements such as information theory in the context of control and practical issues such as software or hardware design. In this book, I focus only on the interplay of communications and control in CPSs, in particular how to design a communication system for the purpose of control, from the viewpoint of a communications engineer or scientist. Of course this does not mean that this book will benefit only the communications community. Experts on controls or computing, theorists or practical engineers may find interesting ...
