What is this?[edit]

What's this?? -- JeLuF

It could use some sort of explanation, and made into a bulleted list. -- Zoe
Systems and Control is apparently some sort of academic field -- in engineering I guess. --Ed Poor

Maybe there should be links to Dynamical systems and Control theory? If I knew how to add them while retaining the text (i.e. systems for the dynamical systems link), I would have done that. I'll try to look it up and come back to do it. Spalding 06:34, Aug 30, 2004 (UTC)

OK, I found it and applied it. I hope I guessed correctly. I'm pretty sure I did based on following the external links. Spalding 06:40, Aug 30, 2004 (UTC)

Criteria ?[edit]

It is not clear who is included in this list. Only living people or all people (living/historical) who have made outstanding contributions? Probably the former. But Rudolf Kalman (still living) is not included (arguably the most famous of all). None of the pioneers of the field (Richard Bellman, Pontryagin, Kolmogorov, Wiener, Zames, Nyquist, etc.) are included. A very peculiar list. Encyclops 13:34, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think the criteria should be: The 'active list' should have about 50 important names, each of whom has published a book (or an important set of papers) and maintains an active web site in a western language (sorry, I don't understand Japanese and Chinese). The 'historical' names are kept separate since they don't have a web site. I have implemented this scheme. Encyclops 14:25, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good! Jugander 18:01, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Adding people[edit]

How did you choose these 50 people, I think there are significant people who are not included.

The original list [1] was not built through any rigorous selection process. If there is someone you think should be added/removed, suggest/motivate it here, or go ahead and make the edit. The list should be kept to a managable length, I feel, a management that should probably be discussed here, but in general, be bold! --jugander (t) 09:02, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'd argue that Lennart Ljung [2] prof. of control theory at Linköping University, Sweden, be added to the list. He's made significant contributions to the field of control theory, has published thirteen books on the topic, hundreds of publications, he's an honorary doctor at four other universities, he's a fellow of the IEEE, and has received numerous other awards. Arguably one of the bigger names in the field. You can read his CV here: [3].
Agreed, Ljung should be on the list. If no one objects, feel free to make the change. This discussion page isn't very lively. jugander (t) 11:28, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Very good choice! Encyclops 13:42, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Subsections?[edit]

I think we should separate the names into subsections, like nonlinear control, optimal control, etc...Jiuguang Wang (talk) 16:39, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I think it is also possible to recreate this list into a table where the experise is a column, see for example
or List of Athabasca University people.
Off cause these examples are not exact examples. But that use a table seems to be a new trend in lists. -- Mdd (talk) 16:50, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done (well, not really). Any suggestions for additional table headings? (I've removed the birth/death info - doesn't seem to be very relevant). Jiuguang Wang (talk) 17:26, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You could add columns with:
I also wonder where the "Historical figures in systems and control" went? -- Mdd (talk) 18:00, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Inclusion criteria again[edit]

The discussions above about criteria for inclusion date back to 2006 when our ideas about notability and inclusion were much less developed. There are a lot of redlinks in the active researchers section. This shouldn't be a list of everyone who has ever written a paper on control theory. I think the inclusion criteria should be only persons who have an article on Wikipedia, or whose work has an article. A strong case needs to be made for including anyone who is entirely redlinked.
