The book begins with a detailed description of the basic MB-NCS architecture that provides stability conditions in terms of state feedback updates. It also covers typical problems in NCS such as network delays, network scheduling, and data quantization, as well as more general control problems such as output feedback control, nonlinear systems stabilization, and tracking control.

Key features and topics include:

• Time-triggered and event-triggered feedback updates
• Stabilization of uncertain systems subject to time delays, quantization, and extendedabsence of feedback
• Optimal control analysis and design of model-based networked systems
• Parameter identification and adaptive stabilization of systems controlled over networks
• The MB-NCS approach to decentralized control of distributed systems

Model-Based Control of Networked Systems  will appeal to researchers, practitioners, and graduate students interested in the control of networked systems, distributed systems, and systems with limited feedback.
