The objective in this work is to develop a machine learning-based framework for process operability using surrogate responses based on Kriging (also known as Gaussian Process Regression). Currently, the available approaches nonlinear systems are limited by problem dimensionality that they can address, not being computationally tractable high-dimensional systems. proposed approach will use Krigi...

Abstract The acquisition of data regarding the performance buildings and use metrics to understand their level are critical for efficient building management. Performance indicators key elements in this process. They shall be clearly defined provide means easily measuring performance. These should cover all aspects a building's life cycle including safety, operability sustainability. To facilit...

The plant design and control tasks are usually carried out sequentially. Initially the plant is designed and then the control structure is determined as a function of the design. Such a formulation neglects the coupling between design and control. This may lead to processes where a suitable control scheme cannot be synthesized for a given design. Even if a control scheme can be generated, it ha...
