Consistently complying with end-point specifications, mainly end-use product properties, is a key issue to thecompetitiveness of batch processes. To maximize in some way the probability of observing successful runs, a ...

The performance and reliability are crucial features of the FSO links involved in optical metro networks (particularly, for last mile networks). In particular, the performance of the overall optical communication system ...

In order to deal with plant-model mismatch, iterative process optimization schemes use some adaptation strategy based on measurements. The modifier-adaptation approach consists in performing first-order corrections of the ...

Experimental optimization with scarce and noisy process data is a key issue in laboratory automation for faster chemical process research and development, real-time process optimization, and the ability to embed a learning ...

The design and optimization of thermal processing of solid–liquid food mixtures, such as canned mussels, requires the knowledge of the thermal history at the slowest heating point. In general, this point does not coincide ...

In industrial practice, the optimal steady-state operation of continuous-time processes is typically addressed by a control hierarchy involving various layers. Therein, the Real-Time Optimization (RTO) layer computes the ...

Open loop dynamic stability is a major feature of operability. An optimization approach for open loop stable process design is presented. It is based on Lyapunov’s stability theory and formulated as an eigenvalue optimization ...

Neural networks consist of highly interconnected and parallel nonlinear processing elements that are shown to be extremely effective in computation. This paper presents an architecture of recurrent neural net-works that ...
