This book will have a broad appeal in the area of Wireless Networking-Based Control. Various engineering disciplines, control and communication science organizations will be interested in purchasing the book with a new, emerging, and important theme. Also, industry such as Honeywell and those (e.g. power industry, automotive industry, aerospace industry) interested in implementing wireless network control to express interest in purchasing this book.
Wireless networking is gaining significantmomentumin several areas of application due to advantages encompassing mobility, reconfigurability, easy commissioning, and spatio-temporal sensing. While initial focus of wireless networking has been on communication and sensing alone, a new field now has emerged that uses the same communication channel for enabling network control. This leads to several interesting issues and possibilities that are not typically encountered in traditional wire-based network control. This book will emphasize on and outline some of those issues from the standpoints of both theory and applications with focus on the core theme of control using wireless network and control of the information exchanged over the wireless network.
