Research Conference: Chemical Process Control VI

摘要：James B. Rawlings 机构：威斯康星大学提案编号：0084707 “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。 它将提供一个评估过程控制领域的现状以及未来需求和挑战的论坛。 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对话。 定义了共同的研究目标，并采取措施缩小过程控制理论与实践之间的差距。 作为这些努力的延续，CPC VI 将对照化学及相关行业的当前趋势，审视过程控制的最新进展，并尝试定义未来十年的需求和智力研究挑战。此外，本次 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在制造业中广泛应用的可行范例。 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并受其支持的行业中的过程操作和控制实践的状况。 - 为非专业人士提供系统和控制理论每个重要领域（特别是新兴领域）的教程概述。 - 为大学研究人员、工业从业者和商业控制技术供应商之间的深入讨论提供论坛。 - 为从业者和供应商提供对研究界出现的新的重要工具的最新了解，以促进更广泛的实施。 提供一个评估未来十年有前途的研究方向的论坛。 - 评估流程工业的需求和挑战，以及评估增加非传统工业活动和应用的机会。

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.
