Control and Optimization of Multiscale Systems


Description:
Many processes in chemical engineering are governed by phenomena occurring over time and length scales that differ by several orders of magnitude. Bridging these scales with integrated, multi-scale models is a challenging problem, but such models are needed for control and optimization. Submissions are solicited on novel approaches towards control and optimization of such multi-scale process systems. Submissions on applications of multiscale control and optimization approaches to novel chemical and biological processes are also encouraged.
