Over the last 15 years, LAA has published three special issues devoted to Linear Systems and Control. These issues that came out as vol. 50 (1983), vols. 122-124 (1989) and vols. 203-206 (1994) were among the best issues of this journal in terms both of scope and quality. They are evidence of the vitality of the field of systems and control, of the breadths and depth of the mathematical techniques employed and developed. Each of these special issues provided a cross section of the current interests in our field. We believe that these issues also had some beneficial effect in attracting younger people to the field. The closing of the second millenium and the beginning of the third is a natural point to stop for a summing up on one hand and charting the future course on the other. What we are proposing for this occasion is a different kind of special issue. We do not aim at a large publication, but want to achieve distinction through a high quality collaborative effort. We aspire to a volume that makes a strong positive statement about systems and control and archives some of the major contributions of the last decades. It is our expectation that these goals can be best achieved by collaborations and we intend to do whatever we can to encourage the development of papers that are co-authored by people who would represent different points of view on the same subject. In the best case the contributions will be fairly homogeneous with respect to mathematical level and length. What we are after are topics that seem to have adequate scope and depth. A preliminary list of possible topics would include: - Schubert Calculus as a problem in matrix calculus - Matrices depending on parameters and their algebraic geometry - Factorization theory of matrix functions - Behaviours and geometric control theory - Module theoretic techniques in system theory - Interpolation theory on loop groups. - Geometry of rational function spaces, matrix flows - Systems over finite fields, coding theory - Realization theory for structured matrices - Analysis of zeros and connection to geometric control - New computational techniques in control Of course additional topics can be considered as well. If questions arise as to the suitability of a paper for the special issue in terms of topic, scope or method, it is advisable that the author(s) communicate directly with of the special issue editors. At the present time there is a definite possibility that this could be the first issue of the year 2000 for LAA. What better way to start the new millenium? To make this target date possible, the submission deadline has been set for 30 September, 1998. Papers should be submitted to one of the special issue editors listed below: Prof. A.C.
