In this paper, we discuss event-triggering scheme with sliding mode control where sensors are distributed over network. Here, a decentralized event-triggering mechanism is proposed where event is observed at each sensor nodes with local information for possible triggering and control update is done whenever a centralized event is triggered. In order to achieve this, the states are sampled at any one of the local triggering instant and then a centralized triggering condition is evaluated for possible control update. The utility of the scheme is analysed through a numerical simulation. © 2015 IEEE.
