Abstract

Control systems with spatially distributed components have existed for several decades. Examples include control systems in chemical process plants, refineries, power plants, and airplanes. In the past, in such systems the components were connected via hardwired connections and the systems were designed to bring all the information from the sensors to a central location where the conditions were being monitored and decisions were made on how to control the system. The control policies then were implemented via the actuators, which could be valves, motors, etc. What is different today is that technology can put low-cost processing power at remote locations via microprocessors and that information can be transmitted reliably via shared digital networks or even wireless connections. These technology-driven changes are fueled by the high costs of wiring and the difficulty in introducing additional components into the systems as the needs change.
