I suggest that you post a copy of this request in sci.engr.control.
That's a newsgroup which is for discussions concerned with control
engineering. The readers of that might be able to give you a definition.
My definition of control? Like you, I get stuck when asked to explain
what it is I do and teach. My first instinct is to start talking
about systems ... but what's a system?
