The article could have mentioned that more people have worked on this. The whole thing started while Parrilo and Prajna were Prof. John Doyle's grad students at Caltech / CDS. Yet once again, MIT's shameless self-promotion fails to give credit where credit is due...
I always hate how these articles never have links to the actual papers or references. I suppose most people don't care, but then again, this is MIT news. Nerds will read it. HN's the only place where you get links to stuff. Thanks.
http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/ is the online alumni magazine whose, like every other alumni magazine on earth's, sole purpose is PR about the great things the school is doing.
while true, I don't think it hurts for journalists of any sort to quote or link to their sources. And considering the audience of MIT alumni, I'm sure they'd appreciate it as much as I would.
