Event-Based Control and Signal Processing

Event-based systems are a class of reactive systems deployed in a wide spectrum of engineering disciplines including control, communication, signal processing, and electronic instrumentation. Activities in event-based systems are triggered in response to events usually representing a significant change of the state of controlled or monitored physical variables. Event-based systems adopt a model of calls for resources only if it is necessary, and therefore, they are characterized by efficient utilization of communication bandwidth, computation capability, and energy budget. Currently, the economical use of constrained technical resources is a critical issue in various application domains because many systems become increasingly networked, wireless, and spatially distributed.

Event-Based Control and Signal Processing examines the event-based paradigm in control, communication, and signal processing, with a focus on implementation in networked sensor and control systems. Featuring 23 chapters contributed by more than 60 leading researchers from around the world, this book covers:

Methods of analysis and design of event-based control and signal processingEvent-driven control and optimization of hybrid systemsDecentralized event-triggered controlPeriodic event-triggered controlModel-based event-triggered control and event-triggered generalized predictive controlEvent-based intermittent control in man and machineEvent-based PID controllersEvent-based state estimationSelf-triggered and team-triggered controlEvent-triggered and time-triggered real-time architectures for embedded systemsEvent-based continuous-time signal acquisition and DSPStatistical event-based signal processing in distributed detection and estimationAsynchronous spike event coding technique with address event representationEvent-based processing of non-stationary signalsEvent-based digital (FIR and IIR) filtersEvent-based local bandwidth estimation and signal reconstruction

Event-Based Control and Signal Processing is the first extensive study on both event-based control and event-based signal processing, presenting scientific contributions at the cutting edge of modern science and engineering.
