The Slovenian Dictionary of Automatic Control, Systems and Robotics * *This project was supported by Automatic Control Society of Slovenia, University of Ljubljana and Jozef Stefan Institute, Slovenia.

Abstract The Slovenian Dictionary of Automatic Control, Systems and Robotics is described in this paper. The scope of the dictionary, the reason for developing the dictionary, the procedure of its development, the problems of classification and the complications that were encountered while preparing it for publication are described. The dictionary was developed because of its importance to the development of Slovene terminology in a field that is not only used by professionals, but also by educators when teaching new generations of engineers, and users of modern technology. A considerable social impact of such a project is conceived. Since terminology is a dynamic system, the mechanism for updating the dictionary is established. The procedure and result of this project might be used as a model for developing similar terminological dictionaries in other languages.
