ENGN6628 — Network Optimisation and Control

code: ENGN6628
name: Network Optimisation and Control
unit value: 6
description: Network Optimisation and Control is the study of operation and decision-making over networks. The knowledge and tools in this course can be used in various engineering domains such as communication networks, robotics, smart grids, intelligent transportation systems, biomedical engineering, and financial markets. The emphasis of this course will be on basic continuous state-space optimization theories, dynamic programming principles, linear quadratic optimal control, constrained optimal control and receding horizon control, and distributed control of complex networks.
