CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    This seminar course introduces distributed estimation and control in cyber-physical systems (CPS), focusing on key applications such as power systems, critical infrastructure, and intelligent transportation. It begins with foundational concepts in graph theory, consensus control, and estimation techniques like Kalman filtering, before progressing into distributed optimization methods. The course places particular emphasis on distributed Kalman filtering for linear stochastic state-space models and addresses the unique challenges of cyber security in both centralized and decentralized frameworks. Students will prepare presentations on topics including, but not limited to, distributed Kalman filtering on time-varying graphs, optimization in power systems through the economic dispatch problem, and cyber security in distributed environments.
