Even in small-scale industrial units, thousands of process variables are being measured and logged for process analysis, control and optimization. In response to the increased usage of computers, advanced computer-based techniques are becoming more important and common in handling this large volume of data for better process identification and control. The primary objective of this course is to show engineers and engineering practitioners how these advanced techniques can take advantage of the massive amounts of measured information to provide improved process operation and control. The latest techniques and computer software for system identification and process control will be emphasized. Therefore, the format of the course will be a series of lectures and computer labs woven together in the form of modules so that each attendee will see immediately how the theory can be applied via hands-on computer simulation exercises.

SEMINAR LEADERS Dr. K. Ezra Kwok ( email: K. Ezra Kwok ezra@chml.ubc.ca ) Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering, University of British Columbia Dr. Kwok was a practicing engineer working in advanced process in the oil and chemical industries before joining UBC in 1995. He has been an industrial consultant for major companies in BC and Alberta, delivering industrial training courses in advanced process control, and has held the Paprican/NSERC Industrial Chair in Process Control in Pulp and Paper. He currently teaches undergraduate and graduate advanced process control courses and conducts research in the areas of computer process control, wet end modeling and control, as well as modeling and control of bio- reactors. Dr. Sirish L. Shah (email: sirish.shah@Ualberta.ca) Professor of Chemical Engineering, University of Alberta Dr. Shah has been with the University of Alberta since 1978. He teaches and conducts research in the areas of computer process control, system identification, multivariate statistical process controller performance monitoring. He was appointed a Visiting Fellow of Balliol College, Oxford, 1985-1986, and a Senior JSPS (Japan Society for the Promotion of Science) Research Fellow in Japan in 1994. He has been an invited speaker at many control conferences and workshops and is the recipient of the CSChE Albright and Wilson Americas Award and the U. of A. Undergraduate Teaching Award.
