Design of Large-Scale Interconnected Dynamical Systems

大型互联动力系统的设计。我们的目标是为大规模互联系统的设计、分析和运行开发一套理论。近年来，由于互连技术的现成，大规模系统的实施和使用出现了爆炸性的增长。然而，对于识别和量化大规模互联的潜在优势或缺陷，还没有令人满意的系统理论基础。将考虑互联系统的几个方面。例如，通过通信通道链接的动态子系统组成的大系统是否可以进行系统设计？整体系统行为如何随规模和子系统动态变化？这些问题在很大程度上是公开的，它们的解决方案是这个项目的核心。

Design of Large-Scale Interconnected Dynamical Systems. Our aim is to develop a theory for the design, analysis and operation of large-scale interconnected systems. In recent years there has been an explosive growth in the implementation and use of large-scale systems due to the ready availability of interconnection technology. However, there is no satisfactory systematic theoretical basis for identifying and quantifying potential advantages or pitfalls of large-scale interconnections. Several aspects of interconnected systems will be considered. For example, can large-scale systems composed of dynamical sub-systems linked through communication channels be systematically designed? How does overall system behaviour vary with scale and subsystem dynamics? Such questions are largely open and their resolution lies at the heart of this project.
