Scope

Networked Systems are complex dynamical systems composed of a (large) number of individual (sub)systems interacting physically or through digital communication networks. These large-scale cyper-physical systems arise as natural models in many areas of engineering and sciences, such as sensor networks, autonomous and unmanned vehicles, power networks, biological networks, social networks, large-scale processing and manufacturing systems, and animal cooperative aggregation. The technical committee  focuses on mathematical methods proposed for the analysis and design of networked systems and their applications.

Topics include:

• Multi-agent systems
• Control under communication constraints
• Consensus and gossip algorithms
• Cooperative control/estimation/learning
• Distributed optimization and MPC
• Cyber security in networked control systems
• Event-triggered and self-triggered control
• Wireless sensing and control systems
• Graph-based methods for networked systems
• Cooperation in the presence of adversaries
• Network games
• Resilient networked control systems
• Distributed learning, federated learning and reinforcement learning
• Applications in engineering, computing, and social sciences
