Technical Committee on Networks and Communication Systems [Technical Activities]

The IEEE Control Systems Society (CSS) Technical Committee on Networks and Communication Systems (TC-NCS) focuses on areas that involve the interplay among networks, communication, and systems control. The TC is organized into eight working groups, Control of Network Systems, Information Networks and Control, Networked Sensing and Sensor Networks, Optimization and Game Theoretic Methods in Networks, Cybersecurity and Privacy, Infrastructure Networks, Internet of Things, and the recently formed Learning, Dynamics, and Behaviors in Social Systems. This working group focuses on the analysis and design of networks of dynamical systems, taking a control systems perspective. The group activities encompass both theory and applications. Among applications, research on cooperative driving is gaining momentum.
