| Summary |
This tutorial illustrates topics necessary to know for the realization of reliable control with unreliable communications, aiming to give audience the perspectives to understand the problems and solutions. For industry, it gives a good starting point to solve their problems. Audience from academia will find many interesting technical issues that are still not solved or even not understood well.
In order to realize the reliable remote control, to improve communication quality is important. For this, we need to evaluate communication quality for control applications. Thus, after brief introduction of several important applications of remote control, the tutorial clarifies the differences of conventional and control communications from the viewpoint of performance measures of communication.
It is note worthy that the improvement of communication performance is not the sole solution that is always possible. As an alternative solution, the tutorial introduces the importance and effectiveness of the cross-layer optimization of control and communication, which is important and effective in order to realize reliable control with unreliable communication.
In addition, the talk mentions some interesting research topics on reliable control and communication as open questions for those who are seeking new topics in the field of SG control and communications.
