Nuno Martins to be guest editor for control journal

Assistant Professor Nuno Martins (ECE/ISR) has been named one of four guest editors for an upcoming special issue of International Journal of Systems, Control and Communications.

This special issue will focus on the highly interdisciplinary research in the theory and application of distributed control and communication systems. The increasing use of heterogeneous channels such as the internet or dedicated bus lines, particularly in the context of distributed systems, challenges conventional assumptions of perfect communication and instantaneous observation, and calls for the development of systematic optimal control design tools for distributed control systems. This special issue aims at presenting research from various disciplines in a coherent context, which can serve as a guide for research in information processing and decision making over communication networks and uncertain information channels.
