Abstract
Over the past four decades, the field of control has woven a rich
tapestry of a larger systems theory, with sustained investigations into
fundamental issues such as control, estimation, stability, optimality,
adaptation, and decentralization. These issues are the fundamental
ingredients in many new proposed technologies, which are now within our
collective purview. They provide a profusion of practical examples of
problems that may have sometimes abstractly engaged our attentions in
the past and offer a wealth of opportunities for imaginative solutions.
The opportunities are ours to seize. That is the central thesis of this
article, and the author uses the example of wireless networking, an area
of great interest in the emerging field of information technology, to
illustrate it
