10A03 Design, Analysis and Operations Under Uncertainty
OverviewThe issue of uncertianty is still a prevailing factor in process design and operations. Papers are sought that describe: (i) analysis of methods to address uncertainty; (ii) modeling, algorithmic development and optimization procedures to andress the issues of uncertainty at the design stage but also during plant operations, (iii) large-scale applications of such models, and (iv) integration of design and operations stages to improve plant flexibility.
