This book reports on the latest advances in the study of Networked Control Systems (NCSs). It highlights novel research concepts on NCSs; the analysis and synthesis of NCSs with special attention to their networked character; self- and event-triggered communication schemes for conserving limited network resources; and communication and control co-design for improving the efficiency of NCSs. The book will be of interest to university researchers, control and network engineers, and graduate students in the control engineering, communication and network sciences interested in learning the core principles, methods, algorithms and applications of NCSs.

"This book presents recent developments in the stabilization of Networked Control Systems (NCSs) subject to communication constraints ... . The book is well structured and clearly written. ... the text is primarily recommended for readers experienced in NCS design and time-delay system analysis." (Przemyslaw Ignaciuk, Mathematical Reviews, November, 2015)

"This book is devoted to the study of Networked Control Systems (NCSs), systems i.e., which implement their control functionalities over communication networks. ... it is well addressed to control, communication and network engineers, as well as university students in the relevant scientific disciplines."
