There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Abstract:
The objective of this thesis is to understand the interactions between the computational mechanisms, described by algorithms and software, and the physical world, described by differential equations, in the context of networked systems. Such systems can be denoted as cyber-physical systems with a network. In this work, the power grid is used as a guiding example and a rich source of problems which can be generalized to networked cyber-physical systems. We address specific problems that arise due to the networked nature of such a system as well as provide directions for future research.
