This is the second part for the Special Issue Control under Limited Information. This second part emphasizes networked control systems (NCSs). These systems are defined as feedback control systems whose control loops are closed through a real-time network, see [1, 2]. Although these systems have the advantage of low cost and simplified maintenance and diagnosis, the assumptions of classical control may need to be revisited. New problems arise because the sensed data and the control signals no longer have infinite precision, but are instead connected through a packet network that has finite data rate (finite precision), a propagation delay, and may be shared by many other systems. Several of these issues are topics dealt with by the authors of this second part of the Special Issue.
