PID is very related to CS, especially in the domain of digital signal processing. And yup, I would agree that there are a lot of non-CS engineers here, we are pretty common :)
any large-ish system is going to have admission control and stability issues, better design those than leave them to chance...
I learned this in control systems in electrical engineering course. Maybe graduate courses do have PID for CS majors, but haven't seen them yet
I bumped this because it's an underappreciated topic in CS. I never really had any formal education but PID and MPC have been in my bag of systems hacks for decades now. I wish I had more lives to expend in enjoyment of the pursuit of control theory. Frankly computing is starting to really get interesting again, I feel like it's 1979 redux.
CS engineer here, i had at least 3 exams about control theory (quite the standard here in Italy).
That's odd. To me control theory is really an EE topic (granted EE and CS are often part of the same department). I did EECS (and did some control theory as part of the mandatory subjects of study) and it feels like CS/SE people usually have no idea that control theory even exists..
