Machines in a Category

Machines in a Category

[Steve Stevenson]

In the mid 70s, Anderson, Arbib, and Manes did some work on "Machines
in a Category" (SIAM, 1976) A lot of this was in support of work in
using category theory in control theory.

Can anyone provide information about the state of this research or a
bibliography of this work in unifying control theory and computation?

Best regards,

steve

At the genetic level, race does not exist. Studies of human DNA have 
found that there is far more genetic variability between individuals 
within any "given" group than between two such  groups.

Brian Anderson is currently the President of the Australian Academy 
of Science <http://www.science.org.au/> and not likely to have done 
anything in the area since the paper with Arbib & Manes.

The original paper is 

Michael A. Arbib and Ernest G. Manes. "Machines in a Category: An expository
introduction". SIAM Review. 16(2). April, 1974 (not 1976 as below). 163--192.

Very available.
