Complex Networked Control Systems: Introduction to the Special Section
Author :
Abdallah, Chaouki T. ; Tanner, Herbert G.
Abstract :
This special section focuses on the study of network architectures and their formation as well as on the description of dynamical processes that take place over networks. A common thread throughout the five articles is the role of distributed processing and control, as well as the search for network-growth mechanisms that give rise to the desired structure and behavior.
