Distributed control of computer communication systems
Flow control in Computer Communication systems is generally a multi-layered structure, consisting of several mechanisms operating independently at different levels. Evaluation of the performance of networks in which different flow control mechanisms act simultaneously is an important area of …

Toward distributed control for autonomous electrical energy systems
… electrical energy systems (AEESs) by means of distributed control. We first propose a modular modeling approach that represents a general electrical energy system (EES) as a negative feedback configuration comprising a planar electrical network subsystem and a subsystem of single-port …

Computationally Driven Algorithms for Distributed Control of Complex Systems
This dissertation studies the model reduction and distributed control problems for interconnected systems, i.e., systems that consist of multiple interacting agents/subsystems. The study of the analysis and synthesis problems for interconnected systems is motivated by the multiple applications that …

Optimal distributed control and estimation for systems with spatiotemporal dynamics
Traditional optimal control and estimation synthesis often relies on the implicit assumption that sufficient computational power and bandwidth are available to implement centralized communication architectures. However, this is often not the case in large-scale spatially distributed systems. In …

Efficient information aggregation strategies for distributed control and signal processing
This thesis will be concerned with distributed control and coordination of networks consisting of multiple, potentially mobile, agents. This is motivated mainly by the emergence of large scale networks characterized by the lack of centralized access to information and time-varying connectivity. …
