Sensors and actuators are organized in large arrays distributed in space.

However, the present-day microcomputer-based control systems are capable of communicating with other controllers through a network, and this is referred to as a distributed control system. …

Goals: •Define centralized versus decentralized versus distributed control •Describe analysis results in stability of distributed control systems, with a focus on the role of topology of the …

In this lecture, we take a look at the problem of distributed control. We will begin by seeing why the problem is hard. Then we will look at one obvious approach towards solving the problem. …

This chapter of the lecture notes is based on this reference (primarily chapter 5). The earlier chapters of the reference give a nice introduction to some fundamentals such as everywhere …

A research program will be described for control of distributed systems and of hierarchical systems. The lecture is based on the project Control for Coordination of Distributed Systems …

Each of the computers in a distributed system is called a node. Here, \computer" is interpreted quite broadly: nodes might be desktop computers, servers in datacenters, mobile devices, …

The following topics will be presented over the course of the semester. Each topic will be covered in (roughly) one lecture. Lecture notes are linked as they become available.
