Workshop on Hybrid and Predictive Control for Nonlinear Industrial Applications

这项建议的目的是扩大在斯特拉斯克莱德举行的非线性控制研讨会的序列，成为一个更国际化的事件，并为研究学生提供了一个学习和贡献的机会。预计将涵盖非线性预测控制，混合系统控制和分布式控制系统的新发展。先进的控制和信号处理方法的实施中的问题将被考虑，并将讨论它们在嵌入式系统中的应用，如风力涡轮机控制和网络系统控制。演讲的水平将适合研究生，并将有硬件和软件工具的演示，用于真实的时间控制和控制系统设计。这是第四次研讨会的主题非线性控制真实的应用。在2004年、2006年和2007年期间，该中心主办了关于非线性控制的讲习班，每次吸引了39至58名代表。随着研讨会国际声誉的提高，2009年的建议是吸引更多的国际演讲者和代表，这将使人们能够更好地了解世界范围内非线性系统在理论和应用方面的进展。它还将介绍非线性控制和应用中的新的和具有挑战性的主题。该活动的教育价值已经通过以前活动的教程性质得到了证明，这次将保留并扩展到新兴技术。研究生也将有机会在研讨会上介绍他们的工作。

The aim of this proposal is to expand a sequence of nonlinear control workshops that were held at Strathclyde into a more international event and one which provides an opportunity for research students to both learn and contribute. It is envisaged that very new developments in nonlinear predictive control, control of hybrid systems and distributed control systems will be covered. Problems in the implementation of advanced control and signal processing methods will be considered and their use in embedded systems for applications such as wind turbine control and for networked systems control will be discussed. The level of the presentations will be suitable for research students and there will be demonstrations of hardware and software tools for both real time control and for control systems design.This is the fourth workshop on the subject of Nonlinear Control for Real Applications. During 2004, 2006 and 2007, the Centre hosted workshops on nonlinear control, which attracted between 39-58 delegates each time. With the increased international reputation of the workshop, the proposal for 2009 is to attract more international speakers and delegates, which will enable a better perspective to be obtained in the world wide advances in nonlinear systems both in theory and applications. It will also introduce new and challenging topics in nonlinear control and applications. The education value of the event has been proved through the tutorial nature of the previous events, which will be kept this time and extended to emerging techniques. The research students will also have an opportunity to present their work at the workshop.
