----------------------------------------------------------
DYCOPS-5 (Preliminary Announcement)
5th IFAC Symposium on Dynamics and Control of Process Systems*
June 8-10, 1998, Corfu (Kerkyra), Greece
----------------------------------------------------------
Sponsored by the IFAC Technical Committee on Chemical Process Control
and Organized by the Technical Chamber of Greece Athens, Greece
TECHNICAL THEME:
"Technology Push vs. Technology Pull in the 21st Century"
INTENDED AUDIENCE:
Process and Control Researchers, Engineers, and Managers in Academia and
Industry involved in the development and application of new methodologies
and algorithms for the Design, Modeling, Monitoring, Control, and
Optimization of Process Systems.
SCOPE:
The DYCOPS-5 Symposium will focus on the examination of new methodologies
and challenging applications in the following five important areas of
dynamics and control of process systems:
Reacting Process Systems
Separation Process Systems
Batch Process Systems
Complex and Industrial Systems
Integration of Design and Control
A substantial industrial involvement will contribute to a dialog about what
is Technically Possible (Technology Push) and what is Technologically
Desirable (Technology Pull).
FORMAT:
The Symposium program will include:
Invited Plenary Presentations, Panel Discussions, and Keynote, Oral and
Poster Presentations of Technical Papers. The International Program
Committee will select the Keynote presentations from the contributed papers.
For more details see: < http://lpre1.cperi.forth.gr/~dycops5/>.
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
The submission of papers related to one or several of the main topics below
will be welcome. Papers highlighting industrial experiences and/or
comparisons between theory and experiments are of particular interest.
Papers dealing with large-scale process systems and the integration of
Process Design and Control will be given special attention.
MAIN TOPICS:
Dynamics and Control of Novel Reacting Systems
Dynamics and Control of Innovative Separation Systems
Modeling, Optimization and Scheduling of Batch Plants
Reactive Separations or Separating Reactions
Integration of Process Design and Control
Plant-Wide Dynamics, Monitoring, and Control
Verification and Calibration of Dynamic Models
Modeling and Understanding of Complex Dynamics
Open- and Closed-loop Identification
Novel and Model-based Controller Design
Testing and Verification of Control Strategies
Controller Performance Monitoring
Real-time Optimization Methods and Applications
Modeling, Monitoring & Control of Complex Multivariable Systems
Industrial Scale Problems and Solutions
Design and Control of Modular Plants
