  • WE SEND OUR CONGRATULATIONS TO… …Professor Uri Shaked on His Declaration As the Winner of the 2017 Israel Prize in Engineering
    WE SEND OUR CONGRATULATIONS TO… …Professor Uri Shaked on his declaration as the winner of the 2017 Israel Prize in Engineering The President of the Israeli Association for Automatic Control (IAAC* a Full Member of IAIN) has sent the following for which we are most grateful: Professor Uri Shaked from the Department of Electrical Engineering-Systems, The Iby and Aladar Fleischman Faculty of Engineering, Tel Aviv University, is the recipient of the 2017 Israel Prize in Engineering. Professor Shaked is a world-renowned leading scientist in control theory. His groundbreaking contributions to modern optimal control in the presence of uncertainties are pivotal in many engineering disciplines, ranging from automatic flight control to stability of distributed systems for energy management. Control design and analysis methods derived by Professor Shaked are adopted in a wide range of industrial applications, including the defence industry in Israel. Professor Shaked is also acknowledged for his significant contributions to the broadening of science and technology education in Israel. He played a leading role in establishing academic engineering colleges in Israel that contributed to the accessibility of academic education to diverse communities. It is understood that the prize will be awarded at the Israel Prize Ceremony on 2 May 2017, in Jerusalem. * The Israeli Association for Automatic Control. IAAC’s main goal and focus is the promotion of Automatic Control theory, practice, and education in Israel. See: www.iaac.technion.ac.il This web site presents an overview of IAAC, describes its organized meetings and workshops—past and present—and provides general information about control-related events and activities in Israel.

Abstract: The problem of designing gain-scheduled filters with guaranteed induced ℓ∞ norm for the estimation of the state-vector of finite dimensional discrete-time parameter-dependent Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Systems systems is considered. The design process applies a lemma which was recently derived by the authors of this paper, characterizing the induced ℓ∞ norm by Linear Matrix Inequalities. The suggested filter has been successfully applied to a guidance motivated estimation problem, where it has been compared to an Extended Kalman Filter. 1 INTRODUCTION response and an upper-bound on the ℓ1-norm of its transfer function (see (Dahleh and Pearson, 1987)).
