DFG Priority Programme 1305: Control Theory of Digitally Networked Dynamical Systems

The application of modern means of communication, like wireless LAN or Ethernet, enables novel concepts and structures for control engineering. Data can be transmitted between sensors, actuators, and controllers over long distances. Information can even be exchanged between moving objects which was impossible in conventional point to point wired realizations of control loops. However, besides these advantages the use of networks within a control...
