[10B06] - New Sensor Technologies for Process Control
Applications
The purpose of this session is to raise the process
control community s awareness to the rapid advancements in sensors, wireless
communication, and related technologies. The convergence of improved
communication technology, very inexpensive and robust sensors such as molecular
sensors based on computer chips, and sensors using in-line fiber optic probes,
digital imaging, etc. is leading to significant changes in the measurement
systems used to control chemical facilities. The emergence of cheap and
ubiquitous data collection will lead to new control challenges and opportunities
as industry is continually driven to reduce manufacturing costs. Potential
topics include new sensor technology, wireless communication, mesh networks,
and soft sensors.

[10B09] - Modeling and Control of Biomedical Systems
Sponsored by:
10- Computing and Systems Technology Division
15D - Engineering Fundamentals in Life Science
Papers are sought that address modeling, control, and
analysis approaches to problems in biomedical engineering. Proposals to present
need to include experimental data, but application-oriented studies are
preferred to strictly theoretical work. Scales of interest may range from the
intracellular to the organismal, depending on the
manner in which the systems problem is posed. Suitable topics include, but are
not limited to, (non)linear modeling of dynamical biosystems,
control-relevant modeling, advances in drug delivery algorithm development, and
open- and closed-loop analysis of biomedical control systems.
