Communication delays and other uncertainties complicate the development of these systems. This paper describes a prototype modeling language for the design of networked control systems using passive techniques to decouple the control design from network uncertainties. The modeling language includes an integrated analysis tool to check for passivity and a code generator for simulation in MATLAB/Simulink using the True-Time platform modeling toolbox. The resulting designs are more robust to platform e effects, without costly design verification.}, year = {2009}, month = {05/2009}, publisher = {Institute for Software Integrated Systems, Vanderbilt University}, address = {Nashville, TN}, }
