Co-design Approaches to Dependable Networked Control Systems (Hardcover)

This book describes co-design approaches, and establishes the links between the QoC (Quality of Control) and QoS (Quality of Service) of the network and computing resources. The methods and tools described in this book take into account, at design level, various parameters and properties that must be satisfied by systems controlled through a network. Among the important network properties examined are the QoC, the dependability of the system, and the feasibility of the real-time scheduling of tasks and messages. Correct exploitation of these approaches allows for efficient design, diagnosis, and implementation of the NCS. This book will be of great interest to researchers and advanced students in automatic control, real-time computing, and networking domains, and to engineers tasked with development of NCS, as well as those working in related network design and engineering fields.

本書描述了共同設計方法，並建立了網絡和計算資源的QoC（控制品質）和QoS（服務品質）之間的聯繫。本書中描述的方法和工具在設計層面上考慮了通過網絡控制的系統必須滿足的各種參數和屬性。其中，重要的網絡屬性包括QoC、系統的可靠性以及任務和消息的實時排程的可行性。正確利用這些方法可以實現NCS的高效設計、診斷和實施。本書對於自動控制、實時計算和網絡領域的研究人員和高級學生，以及負責開發NCS的工程師以及從事相關網絡設計和工程領域的人員將具有很大的興趣。
