  This paper studies the event-triggered control problem for time-delay
systems. A novel event-triggering scheme is proposed to exponentially stabilize
a class of linear time-delay systems. By employing a new Halanay-type
inequality and the Lyapunov function method, sufficient conditions on the
design of control gain and selection of parameters in the proposed
event-triggering scheme are derived to both ensure the exponential stability of
the closed-loop system and exclude Zeno behavior. Two examples are given to
demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical result.
