Estimation and Control over Communication Networks (Control Engineering)

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.
