Simultaneous approaches for dynamic optimization problems are surveyed and a number of
emerging topics are explored. Also known as direct transcription, this approach has a …

Simultaneous dynamic optimization strategies, also known as direct transcription methods,
have been applied in a wide number of domains. These include off-line applications like …

Chemical engineering applications have been a source of challenging optimization
problems for over 50 years. For many chemical process systems, detailed steady state and …

Integration of real-time optimization and control with higher level decision-making
(scheduling and planning) is an essential goal for profitable operation in a highly …

In chemical process operation, the purpose of control is to achieve optimal process
operation despite the presence of significant uncertainty about the plant behavior and …

A moving horizon estimation (MHE) approach to simultaneously estimate states and
parameters is revisited. Two different noise models are considered, one with measurement …

In chemical processes, root cause diagnosis of process faults is highly crucial for efficient
troubleshooting, since if poorly managed, process faults can lead to high-consequence rare …

Following from part I, which presents a retrospective on optimization, we focus here on areas
that are recent active research topics and are likely to strongly influence the future of …

This paper discusses the integration of scheduling and advanced control. It gives a brief
overview on the challenges for today's production systems, analyzes the functional hierarchy …

We propose a novel process monitoring method integrating independent component
analysis (ICA) and local outlier factor (LOF). LOF is a recently developed outlier detection …
