Cybernetics and its Representatives

This chapter introduces a number of representatives of cybernetics who have had a decisive influence on the development of this interdisciplinary discipline. The one who gave the greatest impetus to cybernetics as a scientific branch and broad application was undoubtedly Norbert Wiener, which is why we begin with him. The number of influential people from a wide range of disciplines who have each made their contribution to cybernetics is too large to be assembled here in full. On the internet alone, 56 people are mentioned, of whom some influential minds will be mentioned in due course (cf. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_bekannter_Kybernetiker . Accessed 25.01.2018).
