A large number of problems in production planning and scheduling, location, transportation,
finance, and engineering design require that decisions be made in the presence of …

This paper presents an overview of the research progress in deterministic global
optimization during the last decade (1998–2008). It covers the areas of twice continuously …

In this work, a predictive control framework is proposed for the constrained stabilization of
switched nonlinear systems that transit between their constituent modes at prescribed …

This paper provides an overview of the key contributions within the planning and scheduling
communities with specific emphasis on uncertainty analysis. As opposed to focusing in one …

A new adaptive switched model predictive control (MPC) strategy is designed in this brief for
energy dispatching of a photovoltaic-diesel-battery hybrid power system, where the battery …

In this paper we present the main foundations and features of an integrated framework and
software platform that enables the use of model-based tools in design, operational …

In this work, we first discuss recent advances towards the integration of process design,
process control and process operability from the open literature and then we focus on …

This monograph provides insight and fundamental understanding into the feedback control
of nonlinear and hybrid process systems. It presents state-of-the-art methods for the …

This paper presents an overview of the research progress in global optimization during the
last 5 years (1998–2003), and a brief account of our recent research contributions. The …

An advanced model-based control technique for regulating the blood glucose for patients
with Type 1 diabetes is presented. The optimal insulin delivery rate is obtained off-line as an …
