EEC 2013 - Special Session on Event based estimation and control

Event-based estimation (and control) has emerged recently as a viable alternative to classical, periodic timetriggered solutions with many relevant applications in networked systems. In contrast to sampling periodically in time, event-based solutions employ an event sampling strategy on the sensor data. Typically, sampling instants of such event sampling strategies are triggered at well designed events a-prior to deployment. Resource limitations of networked systems, i.e., in communication, computation and energy, are among the main motivations for pursuing an event-based solution, since these event sampling strategies aim to reduce the amount of measurement samples and thereby, reduce the sheer amount of data that is to be communicated and to be processed.
