A Control Engineering Approach to Making Complex Infrastructures More Efficient and Reliable: A Core Program for ESD

摘要

Many of our national infrastructures, such as electric power, gas pipeline, transportation and information/communication systems suffer from common design, planning and operating problems. As a consequence of these problems, the infrastructures cannot function at the same time both efficiently and reliably. This presents a challenge of national importance that can be met within our own ESD Program.
