Networked Systems
The Networked Systems research group, led by Proff. Alessandro Di Giorgio and Antonio Pietrabissa, aims at developing control methodologies in the context of networked systems. Besides classical control methods, such as model predictive control, optimal control and robust control, distributed non-cooperative control methods are being developed on the ground of mean-field game theory as well as learning methodologies such as reinforcement learning and deep reinforcement learning. Application areas of interest are communication networks, energy distribution networks, cyber-physical security in interconnected systems, bioengineering (e.g., brain connectivity).
The Networked Systems group members cooperate with researchers from national and international academia and industries. Among other collaborations, currently the group’s members are working with ETRI (Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute), which is the most important research institute in South Korea, CEA (Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives), which is the French research organization in the areas of energy, security, information technologies and health technologies, the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), Belgium, the University of Coimbra, Portugal, Tunghai University, Taiwan. See the list of the group's external members and of the group's publications for further information.
