A CS Brief History

Automatic control has a rich history dating back to ancient times. In 1996, IEEE Control Systems Magazine published special issues on the evolving history of control, featuring articles on topics like optimal control, nonlinear control, adaptive control, and filtering and stochastic control. Other historical essays examined the development of optimal control and modeling paradigms over centuries. The field has progressed from early practical applications to more abstract methodologies. A brief video clip provides a high-level overview of the history of automatic control, while another sample clip focuses on one of the first major international conferences on control in 1960.

A Brief History of Automatic Control


Automatic control has rich history, from the ancient to the modern control. From the practical, to more abstract
methodology.
Articles
In June 1996, IEEE Control Systems Magazine had special issues on the evolving history of control. It
presented interesting articles about the development of control systems:

Other historical essays also had been written by Jan C. Willems about the development of optimal control and
modeling paradigm:
