Mathematical optimization is one of the cornerstones of modern engineering research and
practice. Yet, throughout all application domains, mathematical optimization is, for the most …

Network protocols in layered architectures have historically been obtained on an ad hoc
basis, and many of the recent cross-layer designs are also conducted through piecemeal …

Automatic generation control (AGC) regulates mechanical power generation in response to
load changes through local measurements. Its main objective is to maintain system …

At publication, The Control Handbook immediately became the definitive resource that
engineers working with modern control systems required. Among its many accolades, that …

In this paper, we consider the global consensus problem for discrete-time multi-agent
systems with input saturation constraints under fixed undirected topologies. We first give …

Provides a modern mathematical approach to the design of communication networks for
graduate students, blending control, optimization, and stochastic network theories. A broad …

Congestion control algorithms were implemented for the Internet nearly two decades ago,
but mathematical models of congestion control in such a large-scale network are relatively …

We describe FAST TCP, a new TCP congestion control algorithm for high-speed long-
latency networks, from design to implementation. We highlight the approach taken by FAST …

This paper considers dynamic laws that seek a saddle point of a function of two vector
variables, by moving each in the direction of the corresponding partial gradient. This method …

Networked control systems often send information across the communication network in a
periodic manner. The selected period, however, must assure adequate system performance …
