Lotfi Zadeh’s work known as “Z-transformation” in science is a scientific theory that founded the systems of discrete and digital control, information and communication systems. His known phase state theory, lies on the basis of control of dynamic systems and observability theories of modern control science. On these theories, NASA investigates, designs and applies control systems. The body of IMM congratulates the world known scientist Lotfi Zadeh, wishes him a sound health and new successes in his scientific activity.
