Our proposed research lies in the branch of engineering and applied mathematics called "automatic control" or sometimes "cybernetics", namely the science and technology of feedback systems. Such systems are designed to maintain some critical variable or variables within an acceptable range. For instance, an aircraft's automatic pilot corrects for wind disturbances which might otherwise drive the plane off course, perhaps disastrously. Of specific interest to us are systems, like traffic systems, which must respond to sudden "events", like the arrival in a service queue of a vehicle; and manufacturing systems, which must respond to a new part order or machine breakdown. Another example is the pushbutton system in a modern automobile which, although "randomly" activated by the motorist, should be designed never to commit a logical error like "hangup" or blocking.

我们的研究方向是工程和应用数学的分支，称为“自动控制”，有时也称为“控制论”，即反馈系统的科学和技术。 这种系统被设计成将一些关键变量或多个关键变量保持在可接受的范围内。 例如，一架飞机的自动驾驶仪可以修正风的干扰，否则它可能会使飞机偏离航线，甚至造成灾难。 我们特别感兴趣的是系统，如交通系统，它必须对突然的“事件”做出响应，如车辆进入服务队列;和制造系统，它必须对新的零件订单或机器故障做出响应。 另一个例子是现代汽车中的自动挂断系统，尽管它是由驾驶员“随机”激活的，但它的设计应该永远不会犯“挂断”或阻塞等逻辑错误。
