Title: 控制工程中的机制设计理论：通信、电力电网、交通及安全系统应用的教程与概述

Abstract: This article provides an introduction to the theory of mechanism design and its application to engineering problems. Our aim is to provide the fundamental principles of the theory of mechanism design for control engineers and theorists along with the state-of-the-art methods in engineering applications. We start our exposition with a brief overview of game theory highlighting the key notions that are necessary to introduce mechanism design, and then we offer a comprehensive discussion of the principles in mechanism design. Finally, we explore four key applications of mechanism design in engineering, i.e., communication networks, power grids, transportation, and security systems. Show Chinese abstract

Abstract: 本文介绍了机制设计理论及其在工程问题中的应用。 我们的目的是为控制工程师和理论家提供机制设计理论的基本原理，同时介绍工程应用的最新方法。 我们首先简要概述博弈论，突出介绍引入机制设计所必需的关键概念，然后详细讨论机制设计的原则。 最后，我们探讨了机制设计在工程领域的四个关键应用，即通信网络、电力电网、交通和安全系统。
