摘要
Networked sensing and control has attracted significant interest in recent years due to its wide applications. For example, sensor networks, especially wireless sensor networks, have found important applications in environmental monitoring, agriculture, building and industrial automation, machine condition monitoring, intelligent transportation systems, health care, surveillance, and defense. On the other hand, there has also been an increasing trend for control systems to utilize digital communication networks for exchanging information be-tween sensor and controller and/or controller and actuator as well as between subsystems or systems that share the same communication networks due to flexibility and significant cost saving introduced by networks.
