Networked automation systems (NAS) are characterized by confluence of control, computation, communication and Information (C3I) technologies. Design decisions of one domain are affected by the constraints posed by others. Reliable NAS design should address the requirements of the system, and simultaneously meet the constraints posed by other domains and this is called co-design in literature. Co-design requires clear definition of interfaces among these domains. Control design in NAS is affected by the timing imperfections posed by other domains. In this investigation, we first study the different sources of timing imperfections in NAS, and classify them based on their occurrence. The concept of jitter is used to define the timing imperfections induced by various system components. Using this analysis, we classify the jitter based on their behavior and domain of occurrence. Our analysis shows that the jitter induced in NAS can be classified based on domain as- hardware, software and communication. Next, we use this analysis to model the jitter from the components of NAS. Modeling timing imperfections helps in capturing the interfaces among the domains, and we use the concept of design contracts to capture the interfaces. Design contracts describe the semantic mapping among the domains and are specified using the jitter margins. Implementing design contracts requires knowledge of the jitter margin and, the results from control theory are used to this extent.
Networked Automation Systems (NAS) have to meet stringent response time during operation. Verifying response time of automation is an important step during design phase before deployment. Timing discrepancies due to hardware, software and communicati
The topic of this paper is to use an intuitive model-based approach to design a networked controller for a recent benchmark scenario. The benchmark problem is to remotely control a two-wheeled inverted pendulum robot via W-LAN communication. The robo
A major hurdle to the deployment of quantum linear systems algorithms and recent quantum simulation algorithms lies in the difficulty to find inexpensive reversible circuits for arithmetic using existing hand coded methods. Motivated by recent advanc
In this paper, we study networked systems in the presence of Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks, namely attacks that prevent transmissions over the communication network. Previous studies have shown that co-located architectures (control unit co-located
In this paper, we consider the state controllability of networked systems, where the network topology is directed and weighted and the nodes are higher-dimensional linear time-invariant (LTI) dynamical systems. We investigate how the network topology
