Abstract

The paper reviews the past and present results in the area of decentralized control of large-scale complex systems. An emphasis is laid on decentralization, decomposition, and robustness. These methodologies serve as effective tools to overcome specific difficulties arising in large-scale complex systems such as high dimensionality, information structure constraints, uncertainty, and delays. Several prospective topics for future research are introduced in this contents. The overview is focused on recent decomposition approaches in interconnected dynamic systems due to their potential in providing the extension of decentralized control into networked control systems.
