Complex Networked Control Systems: Introduction to the Special Section

This special section focuses on the study of network architectures and their formation as well as on the description of dynamical processes that take place over networks. A common thread throughout the five articles is the role of distributed processing and control, as well as the search for network-growth mechanisms that give rise to the desired structure and behavior.
