Overview

This book presents the latest results on predictive control of networked systems, where communication constraints (e.g., network-induced delays and packet dropouts) and cyber attacks (e.g., deception attacks and denial-of-service attacks) are considered.

Networked Predictive Control Methods

For the former, it proposes several networked predictive control (NPC) methods based on input-output models and state-space models respectively.

Secure NPC Schemes

For the latter, it designs secure NPC schemes from the perspectives of information security and real-time control.

Practical Demonstrations

Furthermore, it uses practical experiments to demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of all the methods, bridging the gap between control theory and practical applications.

Intended Audience

The book is of interest to academic researchers, R&D engineers, and graduate students in control engineering, networked control systems and cyber-physical systems.
