Unfortunately, the presence of communication networks might introduce nondeterminism due to (random) delays and/or (unpredictable) information losses. In this paper, an event-based model predictive control approach for nonlinear continuous time systems under state and input constraints is presented. This method is able to counteract bounded delays, information losses, as well as deal with event triggering due to sensors and actuators. Under standard weak assumptions, closed loop stability, in the sense of asymptotic convergence, is achieved. Simulation results for a planar vertical takeoff and landing aircraft are provided. ©2009 IEEE.enDelaysEvent based systemsInformation lossesNetworked control systemsNonlinear continuous time systemsNonlinear model predictive controlStabilityComputer SciencesConference Paper10.1109/CDC.2009.5400921Conference Paper
