About this book
A large-scale system is composed of several interconnected subsystems. For such a system it is often desired to have some form of decentralization in the control structure, since it is typically not realistic to assume that all output measurements can be transmitted to every local control station. Problems of this kind can appear in electric power systems, communication networks, large space structures, robotic systems, economic systems, and traffic networks, to name only a few. Typical large-scale control systems have several local control stations which observe only local outputs and control only local inputs. All controllers are involved, however, in the control operation of the overall system. The focus of this book is on the efficient control of interconnected systems, and it presents systems analysis and controller synthesis techniques using a variety of methods. A systematic study of multi-input, multi-output systems is carried out and illustrative examples are given to clarify the ideas.
Reviews
“The edition of the monograph should serve as an outstanding updated and extended reference book for control engineers, computer engineers, practitioners, graduate students, and applied mathematicians interested in this still rapidly developing area.” (Lubomír Bakule, zbMATH 1448.93001, 2020)

About the authors
Amir G. Aghdam received his PhD in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Toronto in 2000. He is currently a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Concordia University and has served as an Associate Dean of The School of Graduate Studies (Student Affairs and Postdoctoral Studies) from 2016-2019. He is a member of Professional Engineers Ontario and a senior member of the IEEE. Dr. Aghdam is currently the Chair of the Conference Editorial Board of IEEE Control Systems Society, and has served as a Co-Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Systems Journal and an Associate Editor of several journals including the IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, European Journal of Control, IET Control Theory & Applications and IEEE Access. He has been a member of the Technical Program Committee of a number of conferences including IEEE Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics, IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, and IEEE Multiconference on Systems and Control. He was a member of the Review Committee for the Italian Research and University Evaluation Agency (ANVUR) for 2012-2013, and a member of Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) ECE Evaluation Group for 2014-2016. He is a recipient of the 2009 IEEE MGA Achievement Award and 2011 IEEE Canada J. J. Archambault Eastern Canada Merit Award. Dr. Aghdam was the 2014–2015 President of IEEE Canada and Director (Region 7), IEEE Inc., and was also a member of IEEE Awards Board for this period. He is currently a member of IEEE Medal of Honor Committee. Dr. Aghdam was a Visiting Scholar at Harvard University in fall 2015. Dr. Aghdam has published more than 200 papers in refereed journals and conferences. His research interests include multi-agent networks, distributed control systems, sensor networks, optimization and sampled-data systems.Daniel E. Miller received the B.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of New Brunswick in 1984, and the M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Toronto in 1986 and 1990, respectively. During 1990 to 1991 he held postdoctoral positions at Cambridge University, U.K., the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Since 1991 he has been a faculty member in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Waterloo. He has held visiting positions at the University of Alberta and the Universityof Newcastle, Australia, and has been an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control. His research interests include decentralized control,adaptive control, sampled-data control, systems with delays, and performance limitations.
