This book faces the interdisciplinary challenge of formulating performance-assessing design approaches for networked cyber-physical systems (NCPSs). Its novel distributed multilayer cooperative control deals simultaneously with communication-network and control performance required for the network and application layers of an NCPS respectively. Practically, it distributes the computational burden among different devices, which act cooperatively to achieve NCPS goals. The approach can be applied to NCPSs based on both wired and wireless technologies and so is suitable for future network infrastructures in which different protocols and technologies coexist. The book reports realistic results from performance evaluation of the new approach, when applied in different operative scenarios.
Readers of this book will benefit by:- learning a general, technology-independent methodology for the design and implementation of cooperative distributed algorithms forflow control at the network layer of an NCPS that gives algorithm-parameter-tuning guidelines for assessing the desired quality of service performance;
- learning a general methodology for the design and implementation of consensus-based algorithms at the application layer that allows monitoring and control of distributed physical systems and gives algorithm-parameter-tuning guidelines for assessing the desired control system performance;
- understanding the main network simulators needed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed multilayer control approach in different realistic network operation scenarios; and
- practising with a cooperative multilayer control project that assesses acceptable NCPS performance in networked monitoring and robot systems, autonomous and queuing networks, and other critical human relief applications.

About the Author
Sabato Manfredi has been Assistant Professor of Automatic Control at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, University of Naples Federico II, Italy, since 2005. He has been Visiting Academic at Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department, Imperial College and Visiting Professor at School of Mathematical Sciences, Queen Mary, in London, UK. He collaborates with many international research groups, including: the Control and Power Group, Imperial College - London; the Complex Systems and Networks Research Group, Queen Mary University of London; and the Simbiot Research Group, Loria Lab - University of Lorraine.
His research interests are primarily in automatic control with a special emphasis on nonlinear and complex networks, multi-agent systems, distributed optimization, sensor/drone networks and new technologies/algorithms for Smart City, cyber-physical systems. He has published more than 80 scientific publications including 18 single-author papers and holds European patent. He received several awards for scientific activity and public engagement undertaken with research and technological transfer activities. Since 2004, he serves as reviewer of scientific and technical papers for several top ranked journals in the field of automatic control, computer science and communication networks. He also serves as independent evaluator of research and implementation projects funded by European Commission, Italian Ministry for University and Research, and Azerbaijan. He collaborates with many international universities and companies, is a proponent member of an academic spin-off and is involved in a range of academic, industrial and consulting projects."About the title" may belong to another edition of this title.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Revaluation Books, Hounslow, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
Shipping terms
