Mountains and Control [President´s Message]

The messages I have published in the magazine this year dealt with issues of internationalization and globalization, the past and future of research in our field, trends in electronic publications, the role of handwriting at present, the data deluge phenomenon, and obliquity for control. This message, which is the last of the series and marks the end of my term as president of the IEEE Control Systems Society (CSS) for the year 2010, presents some reflections on the connections between mountains and control.
