Estimation and Control over Communication Networks (Control Engineering) - Tapa dura

From the reviews:

"The first book that attempts to presents a systematic theory of estimation and control over communication networks. ... The book is an excellent up-to-date resource of working knowledge with long-term evidence in the field. The text can serve also as a useful reference book about this challenging research topic. The monograph is intended for researchers, practitioners, postgraduate students, and all professionals ... interested in the emerging subject of networked control systems." (Lubomír Bakule, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1165, 2009)

“This book is a research monograph that is concerned with problems of control and state estimation over communication networks. The book begins with an introduction that outlines the main problems that will be addressed in the book. ... Overall, the book presents a range of new results in the area of control and state estimation via communication networks.”­­­ (Ian Petersen, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2010 g)

This book presents a systematic theory of estimation and control over communication networks. It develops a theory that utilizes communications, control, information and dynamical systems theory motivated and applied to advanced networking scenarios. The book establishes theoretically rich and practically important connections among modern control theory, Shannon information theory, and entropy theory of dynamical systems originated in the work of Kolmogorov.

This self-contained monograph covers the latest achievements in the area. It contains many real-world applications and the presentation is accessible.
