Advanced Control Technologies in Cyber-physical System

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are high-integration systems which integrate computing, communication and physical process. CPS achieves the perception of external environment by means of all kinds of networks and wired/wireless sensors. Also, the system implements real-time control through feedback mechanism. The basic perception features and applications about CPS are described. The main purpose of this work is to introduce some advanced control technologies in CPS, such as event-Based control, networked control, and distributed multi-agent control. Then, we make a relative analysis on the issues and challenges for the existing technologies, and give an outlook for the future development.
