  • Abstract
    From the control theory viewpoint, the distinguishing feature of decentralized control is incomplete information sharing between controllers. In many practical situations, this incomplete information sharing is imposed by bandwidth limitations on communication channels, or by limitations on the effective bandwidth of computer interfaces. This paper describes an approach to explicitly including bandwidth constraints in decentralized control system design.
