Hidenori Kimura, renowned system and control theorist, turned 60
years of age in November, 2001. To celebrate this memorable
occasion, his friends, collaborators, and former students gathered
from all over the world and held a symposium in his honor on
November 1 and 2, 2001, at the Sanjo Conference Hall at the
University of Tokyo. Reflecting his current research interests, the
symposium was entitled "Cybernetics in the 21st Century:
Information and Complexity in Control Theory," and it drew nearly
150 attendees. There were twenty-five lectures, on which the
present volume is based. Hidenori Kimura was born on November 3,
1941, in Tokyo, just prior to the outbreak of the Second World War.
It is not hard to imagine, then, that his early days, like those of
so many of his contemporaries, must have been difficult.
Fortunately, the war ended in 1945, and his generation found itself
thoroughly occupied with the rebuilding effort and with Japan's
uphill journey in the last half-century. He entered the University
of Tokyo in 1963, received a B. S. in 1965, an M. S. in 1967, and,
in 1970, a Ph. D. degree for his dissertation "A Study of
Differential Games. " After obtaining his doctorate, he joined the
Department of Control En gineering at Osaka University as a
research associate, and in 1973 he was promoted to an associate
professor."
