Data-Driven Identification of Networks of Dynamic Systems

The identification of network connected dynamic systems is currently a hot research topic within the community of systems and control. Other engineering areas, social sciences and system biology are putting a lot of effort in the study of network connected systems. Modeling such networks and the identification of these models from acquired measurements is crucial in the analysis or understanding of the dynamics. Based on these models, synthesis to modify the behavior of the network can also be performed. This book gives a unique overview of state of the art research in the field of identifying networks of linear dynamical systems. This overview combines many of the pioneering contributions from the authors with those of other researchers that play a crucial role in the development of this new field--
