Rapid advances in information processing, communication and sensing
technologies have enabled more and more devices to be provided with
embedded processors, networking capabilities and sensors. For the
field of estimation and control, it is now possible to consider an
architecture in which many simple components communicate and
cooperate to achieve a joint team goal. This distributed (or
networked) architecture promises much in terms of performance,
reliability and simplicity of design. However, at the same time, it
requires extending the traditional theories of control,
communication and computation and, in fact, looking at a unified
picture of the three fields. From an estimation and control
perspective, the presence of real communication channels can lead
to a significant performance loss due to the introduction of
non-classical information patterns into the problem. This book
deals with new design principles to counter such performance
degradation. The chief idea explored in this book is the joint
design of information flow and the control law. While traditional
control design has concentrated on calculating the optimal control
input by assuming a particular information flow between the
components, our approach seeks to synthesize the optimal
information flow along with the optimal control law that satisfies
the constraints of the information flow. Thus besides the question
of What should an agent do?, the questions of Whom should an agent
talk to?, What should an agent communicate?, When should an agent
communicate? and so on also have to be answered. The design of the
information flow represents an important degree of freedom
available to the system designer that has hithertolargely been
ignored. As we demonstrate in the book, the joint design of
information flow and the optimal control input satisfying the
constraints of that information flow yields large improvements in
performance over simply trying to fit traditional design theories
on distributed systems.
