Challenges in Networked
Real-Time Systems
Systems now have the ability to do data processing and control at
remote locations and can be coordinated through digital, even wireless,
networks to meet overall objectives.

ABSTRACT | A current survey of the emerging field of
networked control systems is provided. The aim is to introduce
the fundamental issues involved in designing successful
networked control systems, to provide a snapshot assessment
of the current state of research in the field, to suggest useful
future research directions, and to provide a broad perspective
on recent fundamental results. Reflecting the goals of the
Special Issue itself, this paper surveys relevant work from the
areas of systems and control, signal processing, detection and
estimation, data fusion, and distributed systems. We discuss
appropriate network architectures, topics such as coding for
