Associate Professor Paulo Tabuada and former student Adolfo Anta received the 2011 George S. Axelby award at the 50th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control. The George S. Axelby award recognizes the best paper published in the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control during the two years prior to the year of the award. The awarded paper is titled "To sample or not to sample: Self-triggered control for nonlinear systems" and explains how feedback control laws can be implemented in a sporadic (self-triggered) manner while guaranteeing the same performance as a traditional periodic implementation.
