This book focuses on the stability analysis of Markovian jump systems (MJSs) with various settings and discusses its applications in several different areas. It also presents general definitions of the necessary concepts and an overview of the recent developments in MJSs. Further, it addresses the general robust problem of Markovian jump linear systems (MJLSs), the asynchronous stability of a class of nonlinear systems, the robust adaptive control scheme for a class of nonlinear uncertain MJSs, the practical stability of MJSs and its applications as a modelling tool for networked control systems, Markovian-based control for wheeled mobile manipulators and the jump-linear-quadratic (JLQ) problem of a class of continuous-time MJLSs. It is a valuable resource for researchers and graduate students in the field of control theory and engineering.

This book provides a discussion of privacy in the following three parts: Privacy Issues in Data Aggregation; Privacy Issues in Indoor Localization; and Privacy-Preserving Offloading in MEC. In Part 1, the book proposes LocMIA, which shifts from membership inference attacks against aggregated location data to a binary classification problem, synthesizing privacy preserving traces by enhancing the plausibility of synthetic traces with social networks. In Part 2, the book highlights Indoor Localization to propose a lightweight scheme that can protect both location privacy and data privacy of LS. In Part 3, it investigates the tradeoff between computation rate and privacy protection for task offloading a multi-user MEC system, and verifies that the proposed load balancing strategy improves the computing service capability of the MEC system. In summary, all the algorithms discussed in this book are of great significance in demonstrating the importance of privacy.
