-The development of the SLICOT Library (Subroutine Library In COntrol Theory) owe much to many people. We especially thank all those who have contributed routines to the Library, including E. Barth, Th. Beelen, P. Benner, C. Benson, R. Byers, R. Dekeyser, F. Delebecque, M. Denham, F. Dumortier, A. Emami-Naeini, Da-Wei Gu, A. Geurts, S. Hammarling, G. van den Hurk, B. Kagström, C. Kliman, M. Konstantinov, D. Kressner, A. Laub, A. Markovsky, C. Paige, Th. Penzl, P. Petkov, E. S. Quintana-Orti, G. Quintana-Orti, P.A. Regalia, A. Riedel, R. Schneider, V. Sima, D.M. Sima, S. Steer, F. Svaricek, M. Vanbegin, P. Van Dooren, S. Van Huffel, A. Varga, M. Verhaegen, M. Voigt, L. Westin, H. Willemsen, T. Williams, and H. Xu.

-The precursor of SLICOT was the version derived in the early eighties by the integration of SLICE and SYCOT, as a result of a cooperation between the Numerical Algorithms Group (NAG) from Oxford (UK) and Working Group on Software (WGS) - a Benelux cooperation.  This SLICOT version, commercialized by NAG, had two releases, in 1991 and 1993.  Later, WGS, NAG, and German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany, decided to make SLICOT freely available, and the first public release (Release 3) of SLICOT in 1997 was based entirely on freeware BLAS and LAPACK subroutines.
-SLICOT was developed and maintained by NICONET (Numerics In COntrol NETwork), then Niconet e.V.  The initial work for library conversion to a public version and further extension was supported by the European Community BRITE-EURAM III Thematic Networks Programme NICONET (project BRRT–CT97-5040, 1997-2002).  Further developments were mainly supported by several German Science Foundation grants (2004-2009), and by The MathWorks (starting with 2008).  All this support is highly acknowledged.
