“…Looking at node dynamics, the possibilities of control are indubitably as many as there are controller types out there in the control field, e.g., [235]; in this survey, we looked at predictive control as a connecting point between NCSs and decentralized control of complex networks. In decentralized schemes, local MPC controllers [236] are applied to energy networks [237], traffic [238,239], economic models [240], water management [241,242], supply chains [243], etc. Not all papers dealing with MPC's decentralized solutions mention complex networks explicitly, but the application processes are usually complex in nature (e.g., traffic networks).…”
