The Distributed Measurement and Control (DiMeCon) Laboratory is dedicated to research, development, and advanced education in the field of distributed and networked systems for measurement, supervision, and control. The laboratory provides a framework for conducting fundamental and applied research, as well as for developing practical and research-oriented skills of master’s and doctoral students.
The research focus of the laboratory is on the modeling, design, analysis, and implementation of distributed and networked control systems, with particular emphasis on cyber-physical and Internet-of-Things–based architectures. Topics of interest include smart sensing and metering, distributed supervision and control, home and building automation, and large-scale interconnected systems.
At the system level, special attention is devoted to the integration of control engineering principles with software engineering and modern wired and wireless communication technologies. The laboratory explores data-driven and learning-based control approaches, including the incorporation of intelligence at the sensing and edge levels, enabling adaptive, scalable, and robust operation of distributed systems.
A key research direction of DiMeCon is the development of reliable and safety-aware control solutions for networked and autonomous systems, addressing challenges related to uncertainty, communication constraints, and system scalability. Through a combination of analytical methods, experimental validation, and real-world implementations, the laboratory aims to bridge the gap between theoretical advances and practical deployment of intelligent distributed control systems.
