title: Control and automation beyond the century
published in: Control Theory \& Applications
review text: The author first reviews that control theory and automation have made astonishing achievements, penetrated into all aspects of social life, raised productivity, improved the quality of people's life, extended human's creativity and opened new ways for scientific exploration. Then the author points out that, in the 21st century, material production and consumption would still be primary fields of services and a source of driving force for the development of the discipline. The intelligence of systems is expected to be raised fundamentally. Quantitative definitions of intelligence and complexity are urgently needed for further progress.
