Registration opens on April 05, 2021, closes on April 17, 2021 or when the class is full
The first Chinese Model Predictive Control (MPC) school will be held from July 05, 2021 to July 17, 2021. The first Chinese MPC school will be held in a virtual format by using VooV (Tencent) Meeting platform. The Chinese MPC school is organized by Saša Raković, Yuanqing Xia and Li Dai from BIT and is endorsed by the Predictive Control and Intelligent Decision Committee of the Chinese Automation Association.
The Chinese MPC school will enable up to 300 participants (university graduate and postgraduate students as well as interested researchers and control practitioners) from a cross-cutting set of disciplines in engineering, science, and applied mathematics to receive advanced education and training in the theory, implementation and applications of MPC. The instructors are international experts and leading researchers with diversity of backgrounds and disciplines in engineering, science and applied mathematics.
The main topics of the Chinese MPC school are:
• William Levine: MPC Essentials
• Lars Grüne: Deterministic and Economic MPC
• Gabriele Pannocchia: State Estimation and System Identification for MPC
• Sebastien Gros: Optimization for MPC
• Rolf Findeisen: Learning for, and in, MPC
• Saša Raković: MPC Under Uncertainty
• Marco Campi: Scenario-based and Data Driven MPC
• Ricardo Sanfelice: MPC for Hybrid Dynamical Systems
• Li Dai: Distributed MPC
• Karl Johansson: MPC for Multi-agent Systems
• Yugeng Xi and Shu Lin: MPC for Urban Traffic Control and Optimization
• Xiangjie Liu: MPC for Power Systems
• Hongye Su: Technology and Application of MPC in Petrochemical Industry and Standardization
The block of lectures for each of themes will be made available twice via the morning and afternoon sessions.
The Chinese MPC school will provide a carefully crafted overview of the theoretical fundamentals of MPC and state-of-the-art numerical methods and software for implementing the advanced MPC methods on difficult and challenging examples and industrial applications. The first Chinese MPC school also aims to provide an hour long Q&A session with each of speakers in order to enable attendees to discuss problems of direct interest to their research/professional work, and to receive feedback from a set of instructors with valuable expertise in all areas of MPC.
Registration: The online registration is available at http://chinese.mpcschool.online/registration.html and opens on April 05,2021. Those interested in attending the Chinese MPC school should register at their earliest convenience. (Early registration is encouraged due to places limitations.)
