From the reviews: "This book presents a modern solution for the control and monitoring of complex structures using distributed control systems based on high-level communication protocols dedicated to control applications. ... this book will be particularly interesting to readers in academia and research who wish to acquire a theoretical knowledge base and identify new areas of research. ... practitioners may find it a useful handbook to assist in current projects."
