This is the first textbook about networked control that gives a thorough introduction to the graph-theoretical and systems-theoretical foundations and combines both to systematic ways for dealing with networked dynamical systems. It starts with consensus and synchronisation as the classical problems of the field and continues with the communication structure design of networked controllers, self-organised and event-triggered control, which are novel problems for which solutions have been elaborated recently.

The second edition presents, besides many revised parts, new material about the robustness of synchronised systems and numerous additional examples and exercises. The application studies have been extended and its description is collected in a supplementary booklet.
