To develop a decentralized control theory for modern dynamical networks, in the process constructing algorithms and controllers for a range of applications (such as sensor network partitioning, virus-spreading control, and vehicle-team tracking).
Technologies:
Network-dynamics analysis, control theory, graph theory, distributed algorithms
Uniqueness:
Modern networks are increasingly made up highly of simple but constrained components, that must cooperate through communication on a varying network topology. We are developing design tools for this new paradigm for networks.
