I will present two communications at the conference Systol 2025 – 6th International Conference on Control and Fault-Tolerant Systems :

 1. A. Zolghadri. Methodological Pathways for Safety and Risk Mitigation in Reduced Crew Aviation Operations.

Abstract: This short communication aims to sketch some methodological pathways for addressing new safety challenges in future civil aviation operations. It integrates model-based methods inspired from robust control theories with data-driven learning-enabled techniques, incorporating human oversight. The goal is to formulate key enablers for robust, scalable, cyber-physical and human-centric innovative solutions. The purpose of this note is to offer general methodological directions rather than specific technical developments.

2. D. Efimov (INRIA), A. Zolghadri. Input-To-State Stability of Aircraft Longitudinal Motion Based on Parameter-Varying Persidskii Modelling.

Abstract: This paper investigates the input-to-state stabilization of a class of uncertain nonlinear systems using a Parameter-Varying Persidskii (PVP) modeling approach. A key advantage over traditional Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) methods, common in aeronautics, is that it does not require embedding all nonlinearities, leading to controllers with improved global stability and convergence properties. This advantage allows for a more direct treatment of nonlinearities and avoids limitations associated with local LPV approximations, such as issues in handling large parameter variations. Within this PVP framework, a novel stabilizing control design method is developed and applied to the longitudinal motion control of an aircraft. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated and compared with LPV-based and classical gain-scheduling control strategies.
