Lars Löfgren
Swedish cybernetician
Lars Löfgren (1925 – 2013[1]) was a Swedish cybernetician. He was awarded the Wiener Gold Medal by the American Society for Cybernetics in 2008.[2]
Lars Löfgren was involved in extending the logical and linguistic approaches to various problems raised by early cybernetics. His work helped develop a more consistent conceptual base for cybernetics through a holistic approach to second order cybernetics.[2]
He was one of the internationally renown cyberneticians invited by Heinz von Förster to the Biological Computer Laboratory,[3] but he did most of his work while professor at Lund University.
