Abstract
As a follow-up to the volume Three Decades of Mathematical System Theory that the authors of this paper edited in 1989 at the occasion of the fiftieth birthday of Jan Willems, we discuss some trends that have become more visible in the past decade. It is argued that system theory is ready to play a role in many different fields of science. Three examples of nontraditional application areas are discussed.
