## Abstract

In this paper we show how to formulate a boundary control system in terms of the system node, that is, as an operator $\mathcal{S}:= \left[ \begin{smallmatrix} A\& B\, \\ C\& D \end{smallmatrix}\right]:D(S) \rightarrow \vects{ X }{ Y }$ where $X$ is the state space and $Y$ is the output space. Here we give results which show how to find the top part of this operator and its domain in an easy way. For a class of boundary control systems, associated with a skew-symmetric differential operator, we completely identify the system node. Some results about stability and approximate observability are presented for this class of systems.
