SIG (Special Interest Group) on PTUC (Precision Temperature Uniformity Control)

SIG (Special Interest Group) on PTUC (Precision Temperature Uniformity Control)

(Since 10/16/2017)

What and why SIG PTUC: 

We focus on controller design challenges in achieving precise temperature field uniformity in a domain or zone of interest with many sensors and many actuators (Heaters/Chillers). This type of sensor- and actuator-rich distributed parameter system calls for new ideas of controller design. We proposed a new framework known as "Cognitive Process Control (CPC)" where information-driven rather than signal-driven control strategies are to be explored where real-time analytics, embedded AI, big data and deep learning etc. are routinely used.

News

  • 10/16/2018. Embedded RIOTS+MPC now successfully running on Rasberry Pi 3 B+. A historical moment! It has been 10 years from the first 2008 paper [11]. A great team work of Jairo Viola and Sina Dehghan. What is next? General Purpose MPC at the Edge or simply "Edge MPC" - this will be the industrial trend, e.g., PPMA, Win10 IoT!

  • 09/2018. R2R review paper accepted to be published. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isatra.2018.09.00
