The purpose of this volume in the established series Advances in Delays and Dynamics (ADD@S) is to provide a collection of recent results on the design and analysis of Delays and Networked Control Systems. Many of current control systems operate in networks across several domains such as Energy Systems, Robotics, and Biology. The possibilities are many as resources can be shared, thanks to technological advances related to the use of communication protocols of the networks. In these systems, the individual elements such as sensor, actuators, and the computational elements might be spatially distributed, and an analysis of the individual components of the network may predict the behavior of the interconnections. Therefore, these emerging applications of controlled systems impose the study of interconnections and their effects on the system performance. The development of methods and algorithms for this class of systems is a challenge of nowadays’ applications in which not only the system elements but also the interconnections are heterogeneous
