3rd Ifac Workshop on
ON-LINE-FAULT DETECTION AND SUPERVISION IN THE
CHEMICAL PROCESS INDUSTRIES
June 4-5, 1998
Solaize (Lyon), France
Organized by IFP on behalf of AFCET
FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPER
WORKSHOP THEME :
Incentives for on-line fault detection and
supervision of process operations include
human safety, environmental safeguards, equipment
protection, and economic
considerations such as improvements in product
quality, increased production, etc. These
incentives, together with development and
evaluation of methodologies for on-line fault
detection, localisation and supervision form the
focus of this Workshop. The Workshop
will address theory, application, validation,
performance and cost evaluation of
methodologies. These methodologies include
model-based systems for fault detection and
knowledge-based approaches for fault diagnosis.
Examples include parameter estimation,
observers, parity equations, signal analysis
methods, classification, rule-based systems
with probabilistic approaches, fuzzy logic and
neural networks. New approaches that
integrate methodologies from process control and
process fault diagnosis are encouraged.
The Workshop will also address the identification
and representation of process
information required for the implementation and
validation of these methodologies. Such
information may be derived from design
specifications, first principles, simulation and
on-line sensors. Temporal requirements as expressed
by the representations of process
trends, or in data sampling rates and information
processing rates are also issues of
concern in this Workshop.
LOCATION :
Capital of Roman Gaul, religious capital in the
Middle Ages, a free city when the
country was a monarchy, and now one of the most
dynamic cities in present day France,
Lyon has a lot to offer. Situated at the confluence
of two great rivers, the Rhône and
the Saône, Lyon is eternalized by their majesty and
timelessness which have inspired
sculptors and artists through the centuries.
Strolling through the streets of the old
town, you will enjoy a journey back in time,
landmarked by monuments.
The Workshop will be held at IFP in the CEDI René
Navarre (Centre d'études et de
développement industriels) industrial R&D center,
which designs, builds and operates
pilot-plants and test-facilities.

Publication and Copyright :
The material submitted for presentation at an IFAC
meeting (congress, symposium,
conference, workshop) must be original, not
published or being considered elsewhere. All
papers for presentation will appear in the
Preprints of the meeting and will be
distributed to the participants. Papers duly
presented will be archived and offered for
sale, in the form of Proceedings, by Elsevier
Science Ltd., Oxford, UK. The presented
papers will be further screened for possible
publication in the IFAC journals
Automatica and Control Engineering Practice, or in
other IFAC affiliated journals. All
papers presented will be recorded in Control
Engineering practice. Copyright of material
presented at an IFAC meeting is held by IFAC.
Authors will be sent a copyright transfer
form. Automatica, Control Engineering Practice and,
after these IFAC affiliated journals
have priority access to all contributions
presented. However, if the author has not been
contacted by an editor of these journals, within
three months after the meeting, the
author is free to re-submit the material for
publication elsewhere. In this case, the
paper must carry a reference to IFAC meeting where
it was originally presented.
