Special Sessions Automotive Modeling and Control Applications (TuCT6) Tuesday, October 21 (Michigan) 4:30pm-6:30pm Chair: Byungho Lee (GM Advanced Propulsion System Control) Co-Chair: Shushan Bai (GM Advanced Propulsion Transfer) Organizer: Sharon Liu (GM Advanced Propulsion System Control) Presenters: The automotive industry has grown to be technology driven to keep pace with global demands, from faster and larger changes in diverse and complex competitive markets, to ubiquitous regulatory constraints. Automotive companies compete for customers across countries with GDPs differing by orders of magnitude, and across demographics with energy priorities differing by orders of magnitude; they compete in motorsport races from Baja to Formula 1; and they compete for the application of intellectual property on a range of technologies that enable passenger safety equipment, or driver-to-vehicle telecommunication services, or faster-to-market processes. Automotive engineers meet this spectrum of challenges by leveraging savvy computation, building sophisticated computer models, rapidly prototyping control algorithms with these models, and verifying design systems in virtual environments. Like their enterprising employers, automotive engineers also leverage collaborations, to capitalize on specialized expert resources. In this session, presenters introduce various stages of product development that need apply modeling and control methods in the automotive industry today. It begins with the success-story of the call to compete to demonstrate autonomous full-sized vehicles driving through city streets. Results from such a proof-of-concept demonstration can indicate opportunities for functional improvements and extensions. For example, better image processing for object identification improves robotic vision, which improves robotic vehicle capability. Effective, reliable, and efficient vehicle capability is delivered by choice powertrain control strategies. Powertrain control strategy selection is improved by representative dynamic system models. When available, data-derived models readily admit quantifiable measures useful for control algorithm design. Representative dynamic system models used with hardware-in-the-loop also afford closed-loop control algorithm development and verification, especially, when hardware is scarce. Ultimately, comprehensive virtual environments permit design, configuration, and control strategy evaluation and exploration that inspire new product concepts and system function challenges. The session ends with a panel discussion; the audience is welcomed and encouraged to participation. Applications to Environmental Flows (WeBT6) CANCELLED Frontiers Sessions These sessions are intended to be interactive sessions between presenters/panelists and attendees. The goal is to identify new areas at the frontiers of Dynamical Systems and Control. Additionally, these sessions will stimulate avenues of exploration that will benefit the research community as a whole. The format of each session will vary from panels to poster presentations. We encourage the DSCC attendees to actively participate in this new activity! Analysis, Simulation and Control of Complex Systems (TuCT2) Tuesday, October 21 (Vandenburg) 4:30-6:30 pm Chair: Roberto Horowitz (University of California, Berkeley) Organizer: Roberto Horowitz (University of California, Berkeley) The National Science Foundation (NSF) has initiated the Cyber-enabled Discovery and Innovation (CDI) initiative to explore radically new concepts, approaches and tools at the intersection of computational and physical or biological worlds. The purpose of this session is to provide an open forum where researchers and students from the Dynamic Systems and Control community can discuss and obtain information on how to initiate and or participate in collaborative research towards the analysis, simulation and control of complex systems. Bio-Robotics: Science and Systems State of the Art and Future Directions (TuCT3) Tuesday, October 21 (Kalamazoo) 4:30-6:30 pm Chair: Venkat Krovi (SUNY Buffalo) Co-Chair: Marcia O'Malley (Rice University) Organizers: Venkat Krovi (SUNY Buffalo) Marcia O'Malley ( Rice University ) As an interdisciplinary field lying at the intersection of biology and robotics, BioRobotics, has received considerable research interest. The scope of research activities has ranged from creating and operating walking, crawling, and flying robots based on biological counterparts (human- and animal-biomimetic paradigms); to evaluating biological algorithms for potential engineering applications (reflex behaviors; saccading); deconstructing the functioning of living organisms from the macro (neuromusculoskeletal systems) to the micro levels (cell as a machine); and ultimately to constructing the next generation of biorobots from the bottom-up (systems biology). The principal underlying themes have been to investigate the working principles of biological systems from a bio-mechatronic viewpoint and to exploit this knowledge in order to develop methodologies and innovative technologies for the design and fabrication of bio-inspired machines and systems, characterized by different sizes (from macro to micro and nano) and with advanced performance (e.g., humanoids and animaloids). Significant synergies are forthcoming from such an approach but numerous limitations still exis - on one hand, the multi-scale irregularities, inhomogeneities and nonlinearites inherent to biological systems still pose considerable technical challenges to complete characterization and understanding; on the other hand, the relationships between the distinct research vocabularies and approaches of biological and robotics researchers persist in creating road-blocks. Hence there is a critical need to not only foster innovative research and technology but also to promote training of researchers and engagement of a community well-versed from multiple scientific and technological fronts. This session will focus on evaluating the potential, outlining the current-state-of-the-art, and developing a community-vision for future of the science and technologies underlying the interdisciplinary field of bio-robotics, the interdisciplinary field that lies at the intersection of biology and robotics. Control Enabled Green Technologies for Automotive Applications (TuCT5) Tuesday, October 21 (Koessler) 4:30-6:30 pm Chair: Vasilios Tsourapas(Eaton Corporation) Co-Chair>: Sonja Glavaski (Eaton Corporation) Organizers: Vasilios Tsourapas(Eaton Corporation) Sonja Glavaski (Eaton Corporation) Benjamin Morris (Eaton Corporation) The automotive industry is devoting significant resources to the development of novel green technologies with the objective of improving fuel economy and reducing emissions. Attempts for reducing fuel consumption are comprised of shifting to alternate fuels, improving engine combustion, developing hybrid drive-trains, and reducing the environmental footprint of its cars and its operations. Most of these breakthrough technologies are claiming to cost-effectively reduce emissions and drastically reduce fuel consumption while maintaining or improving vehicle performance. Time will tell which announcements result in actual products and which were just "vaporware". The goal of this session is to illuminate some of the benefits of emerging technologies and discuss controls related issues that have to be resolved in order to get these technologies to production. The session gives an overview of several enabling technologies and synergies between alternative fuel technologies and future combustion and control concepts, as well as several drive-train technologies for achieving acceptable fuel economy, performance and emission package. There are several drive-train architectures under current investigation. Flex fuel drive-train, power split hybrid drivetrain, hydraulic hybrid drive-train, to name the few. The session uses a very interactive format to outline the challenges associated with each one of these technologies. Intelligent Building Systems (TuCT4) CANCELLED |

Workshop Keynote Presentations Invented by Nature, Rediscovered by Man: Feedback Control Systems in Biology and Engineering Mustafa Khammash, Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering University of California, Santa Barbara Abstract: Feedback control is a running theme throughout biology. At every level of organization, living systems use feedback control strategies to regulate their internal milieu in order to withstand the constant changes in their external environment. In this talk we will explore some examples of intricate biological control mechanisms at the molecular level and at the system level, showing how they achieve robustness and performance and drawing analogies with engineering control systems. We will also highlight some of the unique challenges confronting biological control systems as they achieve function within the constraints of their distinct biochemical substrate. These and other aspects of biological control offer system theorists and control engineers with exciting opportunities and new challenges to help attain a deeper understanding of biological systems and their diseased states. Profile: Professor Khammash is a leader of interdisciplinary studies on systems biology and control. His work focuses on using control theory for the quantitative understanding of networks of dynamically interacting biological components. He has been active in organizing workshops and tutorials on system biology and control at various control conferences. Can Control Principles be Used to Guide Growth or Remodeling in Complex Biological Systems? Roger Kamm, Germeshausen Professor of Mechanical and Biological Engineering Massachusetts Institute of Technology Abstract: Current approaches to the simulation of cell or cell population behavior encompass a spectrum from synthetic biology to systems biology; these can be viewed as representing a top-down or a bottom-up approach. In synthetic biology, one manipulates the genetic machinery of the cell to achieve a desired result. In systems biology, one studies the emergent properties of complex intracellular or cell population processes. Despite considerable gains, however, the prospect of observing, predicting, and controlling the function of cellular systems seem remote. In this presentation, a case will be made for the use of models to guide the application of extrinsic or intrinsic factors (both biochemical and biophysical) to guide a biological system down a desired pathway. In one scenario, this requires the ability to (i) monitor the system in real time, (ii) extract quantitative measures representative of the system's current state, (iii) predict future outcomes based on a specified set of control parameters, and (iv) select the optimal path to the desired state. This concept will be illustrated by examples in which three biological processes, angiogenesis, tumor cell metastasis, and organ regeneration, are mimicked in a simple microfluidic system having the ability to control various critical factors. Profile: With a disciplinary background in fluid mechanics Professor Roger Kamm has been conducting a broad spectrum of research programs in biomedical engineering and cell biology. His current research focuses on micro-nano mechanics of cells and tissues and cell population control using micro-fluidic stations for angiogenesis, cancer, and drug screening research. He has been leading a number of international alliances and multi-investigator projects, including GEM4 and NSF-EFRI. |
