DESCRIPTION:Bob Bitmead\nWe develop an approach to subspace system identif
 ication using multiple data records and present a simple rank-based test f
 or the adequacy of these data for fitting the unique linear\, noise-free\,
  dynamic model of prescribed state-vector\, input-vector and output-vector
  dimensions. The approach is motivated by the prospect of sorting through 
 archives of operational data and extracting a sequence of not-necessarily-
 contiguous data records individually incapable of providing identifiabilit
 y but collectively making this possible. The test of identifiability then 
 becomes the sorting criterion for accepting or rejecting new data records.
  En passant\, the familiar Hankel structure of the data matrices of subspa
 ce system identification is reinterpreted and revised.\nBio: Bob Bitmead o
 ccupies the Cymer Corporation Endowed Chair in Mechanical & Aerospace Engi
 neering at the University of California\, San Diego. He holds degrees in A
 pplied Mathematics and Electrical Engineering from Sydney University and N
 ewcastle University\, both in Australia. He is a control theorist with a l
 ong experience in control applications in many industrial sectors: sugar\,
  steel\, mining\, telecommunications\, aerospace\, transportation\, energy
 \, and photolithography. His theoretical work is strongly informed and gui
 ded by these applications. He was the recipient of the 2014 ASME Rufus Old
 enburger Medal\, a lifetime achievement award in control. Bob is Vice-Pres
 ident for Financial Activities of the IEEE Control Systems Society. He hel
 d many positions on IEEE awards committees. He was a member of IFAC Counci
 l from 1996 to 2002. Bob brews his own beer and is an accredited and activ
 e Australian Rules Football umpire.
