Unveiling the Nexus: Communication Networks and Distributed Systems in Systems, Control, and Communications

Abstract

This article explores the symbiotic relationship between communication networks and distributed systems within the realm of Systems, Control, and Communications (SCC). As the backbone of modern infrastructure, communication networks facilitate seamless data exchange and real-time control, while distributed systems offer decentralized computing resources, enhancing scalability and fault tolerance. The integration of these frameworks in SCC presents challenges such as reliable communication, security, and privacy concerns. However, recent advancements, including IoT protocols, edge computing, and AI-driven algorithms, are addressing these challenges and unlocking new possibilities. The future outlook envisions the continued synergy between communication networks and distributed systems, driven by technologies like 5G, edge computing, and blockchain. This intersection is reshaping the landscape of SCC, paving the way for innovative solutions that redefine how we design, control, and communicate in complex systems.
