Wireless networked control systems are the integration of physical processes with wireless networked computing units. The co-design of control policies and network configuration must take into account the joint dynamics of communication protocols/channels and physical devices/processes. In this talk we first give a brief overview of the state-of-the-art on wireless networked control systems. Then we present some recent advances in the co-design of control tasks over wireless networking protocols subject to long term (e.g. failures, malicious attacks) and short term (e.g. dynamic routing, packet drops) networking non-idealities.
Alessandro D'Innocenzo is Assistant Professor in the Department of Information Engineering, Computer Science and Mathematics at the University of L'Aquila (Italy). In 2007 he obtained the PhD degree in Electrical and Information Engineering from University of L'Aquila, and accomplished the International Curriculum Option of Doctoral Studies in Hybrid Control for Complex, Distributed and Heterogeneous Embedded Systems. In 2007 and 2009 he has been Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Electrical and Information Engineering of University of L'Aquila. In 2008 he has been Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering of University of Pennsylvania.
