DESCRIPTION:Maurice Heemels\, Eindhoven University of Technology\, The Net
 herlands\nAbstract: Recent developments in computer and communication tech
 nologies are leading to an increasingly networked and wireless world. In t
 he context of networked control systems and cyber-physical systems this ra
 ises new challenging questions\, especially when the computation\, communi
 cation and energy resources of the system are limited. To efficiently use 
 the available resources it is desirable to limit the control actions to in
 stances when the system really needs attention. Unfortunately\, the classi
 cal time-triggered control paradigm is based on performing sensing and act
 uation actions periodically in time (irrespective of the state of the syst
 em) rather than when the system needs attention. Therefore\, it is of inte
 rest to consider event-triggered control as an alternative paradigm\, as i
 t seems much more natural to trigger control actions by well-designed even
 ts involving the system’s state\, output or other available information\
 , i.e.\, bringing feedback in the sensing and actuation processes.\n \nIn
  this talk\, we discuss the challenges and recent advances of event-trigge
 red control focusing on two main design approaches: Lyapunov-based designs
  and optimization-based methods. Main results regarding control-related pr
 operties such as stability\, performance and robustness are provided\, nex
 t to guarantees on the existence of a positive lower bound on the inter-ev
 ent/transmission times (minimal inter-event times).  Clearly\, the latter
  is essential from an implementation point of view and the side of utiliza
 tion of the computation\, communication and energy resources. Comparisons 
 to periodic time-triggered control\, and other resource-aware controllers 
 such as self-triggered control will be provided. Various applications incl
 uding experiments performed on a platoon of vehicles will be presented.\n\
 nBio: Maurice Heemels received the M.Sc. degree in mathematics and the Ph.
 D. degree in control theory (both summa cum laude) from the Eindhoven Univ
 ersity of Technology (TU/e)\, the Netherlands\, in 1995 and 1999\, respect
 ively. From 2000 to 2004\, he was with the Electrical Engineering Departme
 nt\, TU/e and from 2004 to 2006 with the Embedded Systems Institute (ESI).
  Since 2006\, he has been with the Department of Mechanical Engineering\, 
 TU/e\, where he is currently a Full Professor. He held visiting professor 
 positions at the Swiss  Federal Institute of Technology (ETH)\, Switzerla
 nd (2001) and at the University of California at Santa Barbara (2008). In 
 2004\, he worked also at the company Océ\, the Netherlands. His current r
 esearch interests include hybrid and cyber-physical systems\, networked an
 d event-triggered control systems and constrained systems including model 
 predictive control. Dr. Heemels served/s on the editorial boards of Automa
 tica\, Nonlinear Analysis: Hybrid Systems\, Annual Reviews in Control\, an
 d IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control. He served/s as the general chair
  of the IFAC Conference on Analysis and Design of Hybrid Systems (ADHS) 20
 12\, the IPC chair of the IFAC workshop on Distributed Estimation and Cont
 rol in Networked Control (NECSYS) 2013\, the IPC co-chair of the European 
 Control Conference 2013\, and the IPC chair of IFAC Conference on Analysis
  and Design of Hybrid Systems (ADHS) 2018.\nHe was a recipient of a person
 al VICI grant (1.5 Meuro) awarded by STW (Dutch Technology Foundation). He
  is a Fellow of the IEEE.
