June 2010: Slides of my plenary talk at STAB'10

The slides of my plenary talk at STAB'10 are now available here .

June 2010: Research grant from the I-SAEF

George Weiss and me received a three year research grant from the I-SAEF.

July 2010: Special session on Switched and Hybrid Systems

I am organizing a special session on Switched and Hybrid Systems for the IEEE 26th CONVENTION OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS IN ISRAEL. This will take place in Eilat, Israel, Nov. 17-20, 2010. Eilat is Israel's southernmost city located at the northern tip of the Red Sea. Eilat's arid desert climate is moderated by proximity to a warm sea. Average day temperature in Eilat during the month of November is 27 Centigrade (81 Fahrenheit). The city's beaches, coral reefs, fine hotels, nightlife and desert landscapes make it a popular destination for domestic and international tourism.
