The ASI on Nonlinear Model Based Process Control (August 10-20,
1997~ Antalya - Turkey) convened as a continuation of a previous
ASI which was held in August 1994 in Antalya on Methods of Model
Based Process Control in a more general context. In 1994, the
contributions and discussions convincingly showed that industrial
process control would increasingly rely on nonlinear model based
control systems. Therefore, the idea for organizing this ASI was
motivated by the success of the first one, the enthusiasm expressed
by the scientific community for continuing contact, and the growing
incentive for on-line control algorithms for nonlinear processes.
This is due to tighter constraints and constantly changing
performance objectives that now force the processes to be operated
over a wider range of conditions compared to the past, and the fact
that many of industrial operations are nonlinear in nature. The ASI
intended to review in depth and in a global way the
state-of-the-art in nonlinear model based control. The list of
lecturers consisted of 12 eminent scientists leading the principal
developments in the area, as well as industrial specialists
experienced in the application of these techniques. Selected out of
a large number of applications, there was a high quality, active
audience composed of 59 students from 20 countries. Including
family members accompanying the participants, the group formed a
large body of92 persons. Out of the 71 participants, 11 were from
industry.
Presenting a fresh look at process control, this new text
demonstrates state-space approach shown in parallel with the
traditional approach to explain the strategies used in industry
today. Modern time-domain and traditional transform-domain methods
are integrated throughout and explain the advantages and
limitations of each approach; the fundamental theoretical concepts
and methods of process control are applied to practical problems.
To ensure understanding of the mathematical calculations involved,
MATLAB (R) is included for numeric calculations and MAPLE for
symbolic calculations, with the math behind every method carefully
explained so that students develop a clear understanding of how and
why the software tools work. Written for a one-semester course with
optional advanced-level material, features include solved examples,
cases that include a number of chemical reactor examples, chapter
summaries, key terms, and concepts, as well as over 240
end-of-chapter problems, focused computational exercises and
solutions for instructors.
