In this article, as in industry, advanced process control (APC) refers primarily to multi-variable control. Multivariable control means adjusting multiple single-loop controllers in unison, to meet ...

When model-based multivariable control made its debut in the 1980s, it was expected that process models, once acquired through a plant step test, would be durable and long lived. However, this ...

Abstract: The presence of equality and inequality constraints is of significant importance in expensive constrained optimization. This study aims to develop a surrogate-assisted evolutionary algorithm ...

Abstract: A multi-agent trajectory optimization method for differentially flat systems under the effect of uncertainties is proposed. Multi-agent and obstacle collision avoidance constraints, ...

At yearend 1998, Koa Oil Co. (now part of Nippon Oil Corp.) embarked on a comprehensive advanced control implementation at its refineries in Marifu and Osaka. The advanced control implementation ...

This note contains an O(n log n) time-bounded implementation and extentions for a procedure developed by Sidney for the two-machine maximum flow time problem with series-parallel precedence ...
