control laws have been traditionally treated as periodic tasks when
implemented on digital platforms. Such implementation usually results
in a conservative usage of resources since the intersample time is
fixed at a constant value regardless of the state of the plant. In this
talk we explore aperiodic time-triggered schedules for homogeneous
control systems based on the current state of the system. This
aperiodic strategy will guarantee asymptotic stability under
sample-and-hold implementations while remarkably saving resources.
Moreover, since homogeneous systems appear as local approximations of
nonlinear control systems, the results herein developed can be regarded
as a first step to investigate the scheduling requirements of a more
general class of control systems
