Research Conference: Chemical Process Control VII

摘要：pi: Michael A. HensonInstitution: University of Massachusetts/AmherstProposal Number: 0451082Intellectual Merit：化学过程控制（CPC）系列会议旨在回顾和评估过程控制技术的现状。为实现这一目标，自1976年以来，会议每五年举行一次。所有口头报告均由邀请进行，以确保会议主题由国际知名研究人员以一致的方式涵盖。CPC第七次会议将于2006年1月8日至13日在加拿大阿尔伯塔省路易斯湖举行。这笔赠款用于支付应邀学术演讲者的旅费和会议费用。CPC第七次会议的目标是为讨论过程控制研究和教育的现状和未来需要提供一个开放的形式。自第一次会议以来，“过程控制”一词被越来越广泛地解释。除了传统化学过程控制主题的会议外，CPC第七届会议还将讨论新兴应用领域，包括微化学和燃料电池系统，多尺度系统，信息和企业系统以及系统生物学。会议的主题是“核心技术和新兴应用评估”。更广泛的影响：更好的过程控制将导致化工、石化、制药等生产设施更有效的运行，这将有利于美国经济。学术界、行业从业者和政府官员的互动应该推动过程控制的研究和教育。

ABSTRACTPI: Michael A. HensonInstitution: University of Massachusetts/AmherstProposal Number: 0451082Intellectual Merit:The Chemical Process Control (CPC) conference series is aimed at reviewing and assessing the current state of process control technology. Consistent with this goal, the conference has been held every five years since 1976. All oral presentations are by invitation only to ensure that the conference themes are covered in a consistent fashion by internationally renowned researchers. The CPC VII conference will take place January 8-13, 2006 in Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada. This grant is to defray travel and conference expenses of the invited academic speakers.The goal of CPC VII is to provide an open form for discussing the current state and future needs of process control research and education. Since the initial conference, the term "process control" has been interpreted in an increasingly broad sense. In addition to sessions on traditional chemical process control topics, CPC VII will address emerging applications areas including microchemical and fuel cell systems, multiscale systems, information and enterprise systems and systems biology. The theme of the meeting is "Assessment of Core Technologies and Emerging Applications."Broader Impact:Better process control should lead to more efficient operation of chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, etc. manufacturing facilities, which should benefit the US economy. The interaction of academics, industrial practitioners and government officials should advance process control research and education.
