Challenges to Control in Signal Processing and Communications
Abstract
In this paper, I will attempt to give my views on several research areas in which the field of systems and control can and should be making important contributions for some time to come. In each area one can certainly point to such contributions that are already being made, but it is my opinion that there is an opportunity, and in fact a need, for an increased presence of the control community in these areas. Obviously, this paper represents a biased viewpoint, as it reflects my perspectives and focuses for the most part on areas about which I know something. I hope, however, that it will accomplish its stated purpose which is to provoke responses and stimulate discussion that can then be used to shape a statement to which we can all ascribe. In coming up with the topics discussed in this paper I focused on addressing three questions: (1) In what areas can the control community have an impact? (2) What is it about the methods and perspectives of control and systems that provide us with these opportunities? (3) What form might our contributions take?
