Special Section on New Trends in Control and Filtering of Networked Systems

The editorial section of IEEE Transactions On Industrial Informatics contains a special section on new trends in control and filtering of networked systems. The aim of this special section is to provide a timely discussion on technical trends and challenges of some classical and emerging issues, such as networked control and filtering, fault detection and tolerant control, event-triggered control, security control, distributed control, sensor networks, and real-time network protocol design, over networks with resource constraints for industrial systems. The paper contributed by Zhang and others presents an overview on the recent theoretical development of control and filtering for networked control systems (NCSs). Several important issues, such as sampling, network-induced delays, packet dropouts, and quantization errors, induced from resource-constrained NCSs are reviewed.
