An approach to assist the determination of the best time-after-injection for taking an scintigram in bone scanning is proposed. More precisely, a technique is discussed to estimate the evolution of the portions, in different compartments of the body, of the injected dose using a model of the radionuclide distribution dynamics, the available measurements and information on variations of the parameters. At each time, the possible range of variation of these unmeasured states is evaluated, and from this the expected evolution of the contrast of the image is obtained. This makes it possible to predict the best time for taking the image. To show the applicability, a practical example is provided.
Many processes, even being of a continuous nature, involve in its operation signals or rules different from the classical continuous variables represented by real variables and modelled by DAE. In practice they includ...

The joint design of processes and control is an integration technique that incorporates control requirements in the process design stage. This paper presents an integrated design methodology and illustrate it with an alternative design for a real plant of activated sludge processing. The process design obtained is not only optimum from the economic point of view, but exhibits certain previously fixed dynamic characteristics. The point of operation and the size of the processing units are obtained through mathematical programming, together with the parameters of the controller.

This paper deals with the dynamic real time optimization of a benchmark model that represents a genuine problem found at the crystallization section of sugar factories. A most relevant characteristic of the control problem is given by its hybrid nature, mixing continuous control and the scheduling of the crystallizer batch units. The plant-wide optimal control task is approached in a non-centralized hierarchical way with two-layers. The lower layer consists of a set of MPCs, one for each crystallizer, and is in charge of taking the local decisions that minimize an index related with the economic behavior of each unit. The higher level coordinator layer drives the state of the whole plant near the overall economic optimum, while respecting the constraints imposed by the existence of shared resources.

Distributed controlsystems (DCS) are based on assignments of control loops and supervision points to different units. In a first approach, these assignments are made statically and following given distribution criteria. This paper presents a proposal of communications system over a DCS which allows the interchanging of assignments between the control units. The objective is to provide a frame for dynamical load balancing in the system with reactivity against meaningful variables in the system such as changes in the process, traffic demands or computing load in every processor.
