Charles François (systems scientist) Cybernetics Sciences)Honorary President of the Latin American Association of Systemics (ALAS), Honorary Professor of ITBA, Buenos Aires, and was visiting Professor at various universities and educational institutions in Argentina, Perú and Brasil. He became a member of systemic boards and integrated the editorial boards of various journals on Systems and Cybernetics. In 2007 he received from the American Society for Cybernetics, the Norbert Wiener golden medal as a tribute for his work on cybernetics. In 1952 François came in contact with cybernetics through Norbert Wiener's "Cybernetics". In 1958 he joined the Society for General Systems Research now the International Society
Wiener series Wiener series In mathematics, the Wiener series (or "Wiener G-functional expansion") originates from the 1958 book of Norbert Wiener. It is an orthogonal expansion for nonlinear functionals closely related to the Volterra series and having the same relation to it as an orthogonal Hermite polynomial expansion has to a power series. For this reason it is also known as the "Wiener-Hermite expansion". The analogue of the coefficients are referred to as Wiener kernels. The terms of the series are orthogonal (uncorrelated) with respect to a statistical input of white noise. This property allows the terms to be identified in applications
