This article studies the stabilization problem for switched systems in the presence of denial-of-service (DoS) attack using the event-triggered scheme. Unlike the traditional switching signal design with DoS attack, some challenges arise in the joint influence on the constraints of DoS duration/frequency, and the asynchronous behavior caused by the controller and the subsystem mode. To this end, a novel multiple Lyapunov function involving the joint effects of DoS attack and controller mode is constructed. This allows that there are no events between two consecutive switching instants. By incorporating the dwell-time switching signal with the event-triggered scheme, the considered system can be globally exponentially stabilizable when the frequency and duration of DoS attack meet certain requirements. It also shows that apart from the codesign associated with the event-triggered parameters with controller gain, the maximum allowable sampling period can be offline calculated. Moreover, the Zeno behavior is eliminated by calculating a lower bound of the event-triggered interval, over which the DoS attack is inactive. Finally, simulations are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
