Application Layer Control System: Consensus-Based Control, Theoretical Results and Performance Issues

In this chapter, we formulate consensus-based algorithms operating at the application layer of the multilayer control system in Fig. 1.2. The proposed algorithms deal with the physical variables of the NCPS and can be used for monitoring and control purposes. Sufficient conditions for the application layer control system stability are presented and used for algorithm design. Performance and implementation issues are also remarked. Finally, design methodology of the overall multilayer control system in Fig. 1.2 is pointed out.
