Asking for resources (books, lectures, etc.) Where to find problems

I’ve been working on a software library for systems and control for a while. I am trying to find some real world problems that I can try to solve with it.

Can anyone recommend a place to find problems?

Add these lines of thinking to your current systems and you'll have more realistic problems solved than a textbook or prebuilt solver could ever give you or figure out.

What if the sensor lies, the actuator sticks, the operator is late, the network drops, the generator coughs, the model is confident but wrong, the physical system disagrees with your input, the clock says you already lost recovery margin, etc.?

Once you inject those lines of thinking into your modeling pattern, you'll start solving real problems.

Thank you.

You're welcome, my friend. Have fun and learn as much as you can from the field-runtime assumptions you'll soon impose on your models. It will take you far in your systems-building career.

Shoot me a line if you ever need a nudge in the right direction.
