The Center for Advanced Process Decision-making (CAPD)
at Carnegie Mellon University will offer a NEW revamped
six-day course entitled:

Optimization Modeling and Integrated Process Operations
     http://capd.cheme.cmu.edu/shortcourse/index.html
              ** June 12-June 18, 2008 **

This course is organized in six modules along the topics of nonlinear, 
discrete and global optimization, and integrated process planning, 
scheduling and control. The course stresses the application of recently 
developed optimization models and methods to practical process problems. 
Geared to the practitioner, this course provides practical information 
and exposure to powerful and sophisticated modeling tools for process 
synthesis, planning, scheduling and dynamics and control, including 
treatment of uncertainty. In addition, the course emphasizes systematic 
solution approaches and provides the necessary background to understand 
the tools and apply them correctly and efficiently to your process problem.

Course participants will address these topics through lectures and 
hands-on workshops. Specific computer methods will include modeling 
tools, nonlinear and mixed integer programming codes.

You should attend if...

- you are a process engineer interested in obtaining improved solutions 
for your design, planning, scheduling and control problems.

- you are an engineer interested in learning how to formulate models for 
process design and synthesis, and for process and  enterprise-wide 
optimization, and how to solve them with advanced  computer tools.

- you are a manager interested in understanding and introducing these 
tools in your working environment.

- you are a researcher interested in quickly testing new process  ideas 
and concepts through the use of optimization-based tools.

Six course Modules (a)-(h):

Modules on Optimization Modeling to be taught from Thursday through 
Saturday (June 12-15) will focus on modeling and algorithms with 
applications to process optimization,
process synthesis and molecular design:
a)  Nonlinear programming (Biegler, Thursday, June 12)
b)  Mixed integer and disjunctive programming
     (Grossmann, Friday, June 13)
c)  Global optimization and optimization under uncertainty
     (Sahinidis, Saturday, June 14)

Modules on Integrated Process Operations to be taught from Monday 
through Wednesday (June 16-18) will focus on three major decision levels 
in plant and enterprise-wide optimization:
f)  Mixed-integer models for planning and scheduling
     (Grossmann, Monday, June 16)
g)  Process dynamics and control (Ydstie, Tuesday, June 17)
h)  Differential/algebraic models for real time optimization
     (Biegler, Wednesday, June 18)

The material in each module is independent and self-contained and can be 
taken in any combination.  A detailed description of the topics covered 
in the course is given in: 
http://capd.cheme.cmu.edu/shortcourse/shortcourse_details.htm

The Faculty:

Lorenz T. Biegler is Bayer Professor of Chemical Engineering at Carnegie 
Mellon. He obtained his doctorate in chemical engineering at the 
University of Wisconsin in 1981 and joined Carnegie Mellon University in 
the same year. His research interests include process optimization and 
the optimization of differential-algebraic systems. A 1985 Presidential 
Young Investigator,  a recipient of the 1996 ASEE McGraw Award and the 
2000 AIChE Computing in Chemical Engineering Award, the CACHE Computing 
in Chemical Engineering Education Award and Fellow of the AIChE. He is a 
consultant for a  number of industries.

Ignacio E. Grossmann, Dean University Professor and Former Head of 
Chemical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon, obtained his master of science 
and doctorate in chemical engineering from Imperial College, London. He 
joined Carnegie Mellon in 1979 after one year of industrial experience 
with the Instituto Mexicano del Petroleo. His interests are in the areas 
of mixed-integer and logic based programming, process synthesis, 
enterprise-wide optimization, and planning and scheduling.  He was a 
recipient of the 1984 Presidential Young Investigator Award, the  1995 
Computing in Chemical Engineering Award, the 1997 William Walker Award 
of AICHE and recipient of the 2003 INFORMS Computing Society Prize. He 
is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, Fellow of AIChE and 
holds an honorary doctorate from Abo Academy in Finland.

Nikolaos V. Sahinidis is the Swearingen Professor of Chemical 
Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University.  He obtained his Ph.D. from 
Carnegie Mellon in 1990 and joined the faculty at Carnegie Mellon in 
2007, after a sixteen-year long career at the University of Illinois at 
Urbana.  His research has focused heavily on the development of theory, 
algorithms, and software for global optimization of mixed-integer 
nonlinear programs, with applications in X-ray imaging, bioinformatics, 
and molecular design.  His BARON global optimization software has found 
applications in fields ranging from computational chemistry to energy 
modeling.  His research activities have been recognized by several 
awards, including the 2004 INFORMS Computing Society Prize and the 2006 
Beale-Orchard-Hays Prize from the Mathematical Programming Society.


Erik Ydstie is Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering. He 
obtained his doctorate in chemical engineering from Imperial College, 
London. He joined Carnegie Mellon in 1992 after spending several years 
at the University of Masachusetts, Amherst. His interests are in the 
real time adaptive control and optimization, dynamics and control of 
complex networks, design and control of particulate processes with 
application to solar cell production, and design and control of 
multi-phase reactor systems. He was Director of R&D at ELKEM ASA in 
1999-2000, and board member and chairman of board SolarSilicon , Oslo , 
1999 – 2000. He is recipient of the  2007 Computing in Chemical 
Engineering Award of AIChE.
