SIAM Workshop on Mathematics of Systems and Signal Processing Held in Stanford, California on 31 August-4 September 1987.

Abstract : The workshop brought together researchers on a variety of topics, in signal processing, control and system theory, that share a common mathematical background. The emphasis of the workshop was on trying to uncover connections between the different fields, rather than on elaborating the fields themselves. About fifty leading engineers and mathematicians from various countries attended the workshop along with several local participants from U.C. Berkeley and from Stanford. There were twenty major presentations, prepared in consultation with the organizers to ensure continuity and connection to the overall topics of the workshop; there were on parallel sessions. Time was also allotted for over a dozen short presentations by participants who wished to offer extended comments, to share recent results, or present open problems.
