This paper discusses the interplay between networks and control systems. As we gain more understanding about the structure and dynamics of physical networks. their effects on the performance of closed-loop control systems, as well its the ability to control such networks, provide fertile areas of research. The paper reviews such research with special emphasis on the connectivity and delays in the information transfer across networks. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
