Focusing on the integration of theory and practical application, this book simplifies complex mathematical concepts related to distributed control and optimization. It offers a comprehensive overview of these theories while detailing their specific applications in smart grid systems, particularly emphasizing micro grid systems. This approach aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world industrial practices.

Focusing on advanced control techniques, this book addresses challenges in adaptive and fault-tolerant control for underactuated nonlinear systems. It covers critical topics such as managing input saturation, implementing output-feedback control amidst parametric uncertainties, and developing fault-tolerant strategies specifically for underactuated ships. The text also explores adaptive control methods applicable to a wide range of underactuated nonlinear systems, making it a valuable resource for engineers and researchers in control theory.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Ad-hoc, Mobile and Wireless Networks, ADHOC-NOW 2014, held in Benidorm, Spain, in June 2014. The 33 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 78 submissions. The papers address such diverse topics as routing, cellular networks, MAC and physical layer, mobile ad hoc, sensor and robot networks, localization and security, vehicular ad-hoc networks.
