Uncertainty-aware Integration of Control with Process Operations and Multi-parametric Programming Un

The book "Uncertainty-aware Integration of Control with Process Operations and Multi-parametric Programming" offers a comprehensive introduction to models and methods aimed at realizing the vision of Industry 4.0 in the process industry. It examines the impact of uncertainties in highly integrated environments and presents theoretically grounded optimal solutions for multi-parametric linear and mixed-integer linear programs. In light of advancements in computing power and the widespread availability of data, a new paradigm for automated and more efficient processes in the process industry is introduced. The book proposes a systematic framework for uncertainty-aware integration of planning, scheduling, and control, based on a smart combination of reactive and proactive methods. By integrating various decision levels and optimizing them simultaneously, it demonstrates how industrial process flows and their economic resilience to uncertainties can be improved.
