“…Distributed sense-andrespond systems enable physical actions to take place regardless of distance, with fundamental epistemological and social consequences [8]. Applications include, for example, industrial automation (e.g., [26]), distributed instrumentation (e.g., [1]), unmanned vehicles (e.g., [11]), home robotics (e.g., [19]), distributed virtual environments [13], power distribution [24], and building structure control [30]. Sense-and-respond operates in real physical time and late or missing signals can jeopardize the stability, safety, and performance of the The primary contribution of this paper is an end-to-end algorithm that integrates play-back buffers, sensor sampling, and control.…”
