Abstract
This paper presents a generalized threshold type criterion for the design of control laws in adaptive sampling systems. It is shown that this single criterion can provide a family of sampling interval control laws which are identical to many well known results reported in the past based on a variety of design philosophies. In addition, some new control laws are readily obtainable. Therefore, this new approach can be regarded as the most systematic treatment to date for the problem of adaptive sampling systems design.
