Control systems classification

Control systems classifications are considered to be built on the basis of: type, target and design of control, control object (CO) model, time, CO properties change over time, dimensions of inputs and outputs, disturbances, uncertainty, number of CO, ability to adopt to changes, state of distribution of a single CO, CO structure, number of control systems (CS), CS structure, connections between control and controllable systems, CO autonomy, knowledge use, manifestations of strategic behavior. As additional classification categories, it is suggested to base on: control means, nature and “sectoral” specifics of CO, and functional properties of CO and CS as well.
