As parto of a series of colloquia, organized by the FP7 project ACROSS , Dr. Domagoj Tolic, the ex-LARICS student and former Ph.D. student at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, USA, currently being employed at the Faculty of EE&C in Zagreb as the ACROSS postdoctoral researcher, held a very interesting lecture about the investigation of stability of nonlinear control systems under intermittent information.
This means that the traditional periodic paradigm, where up-to-date information are transmitted and control laws are executed in a periodic fashion, is replaced with the event-triggered paradigm. In other words, based on the currently available (but outdated) measurements of the outputs and external inputs of a plant, a simple expression for when to obtain new up-to-date measurements and execute the control law is provided.
