WIDE

Decentralized and Wireless Control of Large-Scale Systems, FP7-ICT-2007-2 - 224168, de 2008 a 2011.

WIDE main objectives

  1. Develop a unified, distributed, and multilayer modelling and control goals/constraints specification framework that ensures: cross-layer and inter-layer compatibility, self-maintainance,and consistency with measured data. This will facilitate scalability and reconfigurability of the developed distributed control and estimation procedures, and guarantee timely reaction and adaptation to a changing environment.
  2. Develop new techniques of coordinating a network of MPCs to achieve the best performance and robustness under uncertainty and possible physical and communication constraints.
  3. Develop methods of cooperating WSN and advanced process control by developing (i) transmission and networking technologies for highly reliable wide-area wireless sensor and actuator networks, and (ii) new methods of MPC design that, aware of communication and power-consumption aspects, ensure an optimized controller/wireless-sensor operation.
The WIDE project intends to verify the effectiveness of the developed approaches and measure their performance on a real life application in water distribution networks. In particular WIDE will focus on the water network of the city of Barcelona.
