Research Conference: Chemical Process Control VI

“化学过程控制（CPC） VI”将汇集来自大学和工业界的工程师和科学家。它将为评估过程控制领域的现状和未来需求和挑战提供一个论坛。前五次CPC会议成功地在控制理论家和工业实践者之间建立了建设性的对话。确定了共同的研究目标，并采取措施缩小过程控制理论与实践之间的差距。作为这些努力的继续，第六方案协调会将根据化学和有关工业的当前趋势审查过程控制方面的最新进展，并试图确定下一个十年的需要和智力研究挑战。此外，该CPC将探索不断发展的“研究人员-制造商-供应商”三方关系，这种关系正在成为有效开发和部署新型过程控制技术以广泛应用于制造业的可行范例。会议的主题是：“过程控制的未来需求和挑战”。CPC IV的具体目标是：-了解当前或潜在雇用具有系统背景的过程控制工程师和化学工程师的行业过程操作和控制实践的状态。-在系统和控制理论的每个重要领域，特别是新兴领域，为非专业人士提供教程概述。-为大学研究人员、工业从业者和商业控制技术供应商提供深入讨论的论坛。-向从业人员和供应商提供最新的、重要的研究工具，以促进更广泛的实施。为评估未来十年有前景的研究方向提供论坛。-评估过程工业的需求和挑战，以及评估在非传统工业中增加活动和应用的机会。

ABSTRACTPI: James B. Rawlings Institution: University of WisconsinProposal Number: 0084707"Chemical Process Control (CPC) VI" will bring together engineers and scientists from universities and industry. It will provide a forum for assessing the current status and the future needs and challenges in the field of process control. The first five CPC conferences were successful in establishing a constructive dialogue between control theoreticians and industrial practitioners. Common research goals were defined and steps were taken to narrow the gap between the theory and practice of process control. As a continuation of these efforts, CPC VI will examine recent advances in process control vis a vis the current trends in the chemical and allied industries, and attempt to define the needs and intellectual research challenges for the next decade.In addition, this CPC will explore the evolving "Researcher - Manufacturer - Vendor" tripartite relationship that is emerging as a viable paradigm for the efficient development and deployment of novel process control technologies for broad application in the manufacturing industries. The theme of the conference is: "Future Needs and Challenges in Process Control." Specific goals of CPC IV are: - To gain an appreciation of the state of process operations and control practice in industries currently or potentially employing, and supported by, process control engineers and chemical engineers with systems backgrounds. - Present tutorial overviews for nonspecialists in each of the important areas of systems and control theory, particularly emerging and new areas. - Provide a forum for in-depth discussions between university researchers, industrial practitioners and commercial control technology vendors. - Provide practitioners and vendors with a current understanding of the new and significant tools emerging from the research community in order to stimulate wider implementation. Provide a forum for assessing promising research directions for the next decade. - Assess needs and challenges in the process industries, as well as evaluate opportunities for increased activity and application in non-traditional industries.
