Abstract

This paper deals with a class of networked control systems whose controller architecture consists of two components, one "local" and the other "remote". We first propose a framework for the analysis and design of controllers for this architecture and show how communication delays can be addressed. We discuss how the JINI Technology client/server environment can be used for controller implementation, and apply this methodology for the network control of CIMCAR (Computer Intelligent Model CAR) an experimental facility developed for educational use.
