The Distributed Control Systems (DCS) research group belongs to the Automatic Control Department (ESAII) at the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC).

We investigate, design and implement distributed control systems, ranging from networked and embedded control systems to automation and control systems. Our research interests include:

• Time sensitive networked control systems
• Real-time control systems
• Control methods for recource-constrained control systems
• Adaptive resource allocation
• Schedulability analysis
• Analysis and design of control systems
• Industrial networks and distributed automation systems

Research is combined with industrial projects involving automation systems, in-vehicle networking, complex distributed embedded systems for large cientific applications, etc.
