Brief description Design of Large-Scale Interconnected Dynamical Systems. Our aim is to develop a theory for the design, analysis and operation of large-scale interconnected systems. In recent years there has been an explosive growth in the implementation and use of large-scale systems due to the ready availability of interconnection technology. However, there is no satisfactory systematic theoretical basis for identifying and quantifying potential advantages or pitfalls of large-scale interconnections. Several aspects of interconnected systems will be considered. For example, can large-scale systems composed of dynamical sub-systems linked through communication channels be systematically designed? How does overall system behaviour vary with scale and subsystem dynamics? Such questions are largely open and their resolution lies at the heart of this project.
