The aim of this thesis is to exploit the Embedded Model Control (EMC) in order to deal with Networked Control Systems (NCS), whose peculiarity is the usage of a communication network (CN) to connect the plant to the control unit, leading to asynchronous measurements and commands. In these types of systems the execution of the control law, implemented remotely, is driven by the arrival of the measures, whose frequency is non-deterministic and variable over time, implying that the controller must deal with variable sampling times. Thus the canonical EMC design needs to be extended in order to face the problems provided by introducing a CN in a closed-loop control system, such extension assumes the name of Asynchronous-EMC (AEMC).
