Abstract

This paper aims at familiarizing the reader with Stochastic Hybrid Systems (SHSs) and enabling her to use these systems to model and analyze Networked Control Systems (NCSs). Towards this goal, we introduce two different models of SHSs and a set of theoretical tools for their analysis. In parallel with the presentation of the mathematical models and results, we provide a few simple examples that illustrate the use of SHSs to models NCSs.
