Twenty-five Seminal Papers in Control

Björn Wittenmark
Seminar series fall 2000 based on the Twenty-five Seminal Papers in Control selected by IEEE Control Systems Society.
There will be seven seminars each treating 3-5 papers. The the background to the papers is presented at the end of one seminar and are then discussed at the coming seminar.
