This dissertation focuses on the design of distributed control for interconnected systems by taking into account the communication topology and the information that needs to be exchanged. The contributions of this dissertation are summarized as follows. First, a novel two-layer control architecture is proposed that allows to jointly improve the system performance and guarantee its stability under permanent communication link failures. Next, explicit solutions for topology design of distributed control are investigated for the first time. Furthermore, an algorithm is developed to design distributed control in the absence of global model information. Finally, an approach to design distributed control for a coverage control problem which guarantees that the system avoids undesired local optima is proposed.
