Workshop on Future Directions in Systems and Control. To be Held in Allerton Park, September 28-29, 1997.

ECS-9712923 Kumar 在过去的50年里，系统和控制的细致理论得到了发展。 在这段时间里，研究人员深入研究并使用了从代数几何到鞅等许多数学分支的工具。 其结果是建立良好的数学系统和控制理论。 由系统和控制研究人员开发的概念的丰富词汇集动态，稳定性，优化，不确定性和信息-有潜力支付丰厚的红利，如果它进一步精心培育和适当利用。 因此，我们正处于一个激动人心的时刻，这是一个合适的“研讨会的未来方向，在系统和控制。“邀请了具有关键资格的系统和控制研究人员--成就和远见。 他们已被指示介绍他们的工作，这是很好的技术动机，基于系统理论的基础上，并有和外推这是鼓舞人心的。 收集这些优秀的链将激励集体的例子，并作为未来方向的催化剂。

ECS-9712923 Kumar Over the past fifty years a meticulous theory of systems and control has been developed. During this time researchers have delved into and employed tools from many branches of mathematics, from algebraic geometry to martingales. The result is well founded mathematical system and control theory. The rich vocabulary of concepts developed by systems and control researchers integrating dynamics, stability, optimization, uncertainty and information - has the potential to pay rich dividends if it is further nourished carefully and properly harnessed. Thus we are at an exciting time which is opportune for a "Workshop on Future Directions in Systems and Control." Systems and control researchers with to key qualifications - accomplishment as well as vision - have been invited. They have been instructed to present their work, which is well motivated technologically, based on a system theoretic foundation, and has and extrapolation which is inspiring. The collection of these strands of excellence will inspire the collective by example, and serve as a catalyst for future directions.
