A logic-based switching controller is one whose subsystems include not only familiar dynamical components such as integrators, summers and gains but also event-driven logic and associated switches as well. In such a system, the predominantly logical component is the supervisor and mode changer. There has been a growing interest in recent years in determining what could be gained from utilizing hybrid controllers of this type. To this end, a workshop was held on Block Island with the aim of bringing together individuals to discuss their research and common interest in the field. This volume includes contributions from those present at the workshop as well as additional material. Topics covered include: hybrid dynamical systems; control of the hard-bound constrained and linear systems; automotive problems involving switching control and system control in the face of large-scale modelling errors.
