Engineers and scientists who built the fields of control theory, systems engineering and system dynamics, treating a machine or an organization as a set of parts that act on one another through feedback. Their methods run from servomechanisms and automatic control of machines to computer models of industrial and urban systems, and they shaped how large technical projects are planned and managed. A person belongs here when the cited article credits the person with founding or shaping control theory, systems engineering or systems science.
