Long-Range Planning in the IEEE Control Systems Society [President’s Message] IEEE Control Syst. (IF 3.9) Pub Date : 2024-06-12 Magnus Egerstedt
Most of the work involved with running the IEEE Control Systems Society (CSS) is of the day-to-day variety in that locations must be decided for our upcoming conferences, associate editors or technical committee chairs must be appointed, and page budgets must be set for our journals. But what about the more forward-looking work? Who do we want to be as a technical society? How do we ensure that we

Pao, Akshay Rajhans, Jakob Stoustrup, Junaid Zafar, Margret Bauer
Climate change poses an existential threat to humanity. It is now indisputable that the primary cause of this threat is human activity resulting in high greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which began during the Industrial Revolution and have continued to rapidly accelerate. The first warnings of impending and irreversible climate change were sounded decades ago, when governmental and intergovernmental

A Quantitative Framework for Layered Multirate Control: Toward a Theory of Control Architecture IEEE Control Syst. (IF 3.9) Pub Date : 2024-06-12 Nikolai Matni, Aaron D. Ames, John C. Doyle
Complex engineered and natural control systems, such as those used in robotics, the power grid, human sensorimotor control, and the Internet, are characterized by needing to operate robustly and reliably across many spatiotemporal scales despite being implemented using highly constrained hardware and software. Remarkably, a universal design pattern centered around layered control architectures ( LCAs

Disentangling Resilience From Robustness: Contextual Dualism, Interactionism, and Game-Theoretic Paradigms IEEE Control Syst. (IF 3.9) Pub Date : 2024-06-12 Quanyan Zhu, Tamer Başar
This article explains the distinctions between robustness and resilience in control systems (see “Summary”). Resilience confronts a distinct set of challenges, posing new ones for designing controllers for feedback systems, networks, and machines that prioritize resilience over robustness. The concept of resilience is explored through a three-stage model, emphasizing the need for a proactive preparation

Positive Attitude [From the Editor] IEEE Control Syst. (IF 3.9) Pub Date : 2024-03-26 Rodolphe Sepulchre
The monotonicity of a scalar function is equivalent to the positivity of its increments and to the convexity of its integral. I sometimes feel that this high-school mathematical statement alone underlines the entire algorithmic tractability of modern information engineering. And replacing “scalar function” with “system” defines a largely open research program in control.

A Quarter Century of Covariance Intersection: Correlations Still Unknown? [Lecture Notes] IEEE Control Syst. (IF 3.9) Pub Date : 2024-03-26 Robin Forsling, Benjamin Noack, Gustaf Hendeby
Over the past two and a half decades, covariance intersection (CI) has provided a means for robust estimation in scenarios where the uncertainty information is incomplete. Estimation in distributed and decentralized data fusion (DDF) settings is typically characterized by having nonzero cross-correlations between the estimates to be merged. Mean-square-error (MSE) optimal estimators, such as the Kalman
