We are coauthors of a new paper in the prestigious international scientific journal Journal of Process Control:

Raphael Dyrska - Michaela Horváthová - Peter Bakaráč - Martin Mönnigmann - Juraj Oravec: Heat exchanger control using model predictive control with constraint removal

The publisher Elsevier provides open access to new research articles for 50 days to help share the current results. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon under grant no. 101079342 (Fostering Opportunities Towards Slovak Excellence in Advanced Control for Smart Industries).

On Wednesday, March 22, 2023, Radoslav Paulen, associate professor at the Institute of Information Engineering, Automation, and Mathematics, gave a lecture on "Optimal Control of Batch Membrane Processes" during his stay at the University of Pisa. The exchange stay is a part of the European project FrontSeat.

We would like to invite you and your colleagues who are interested in applying to Horizon Europe schemes to participate in the Info Day and Workshops which will take place at the Rectorate STU on March 15-16. The event is organized under the project FrontSeat and will be held by our partners from UNIPI. Registration is open till March, 13. Please register here.

On the 28th of February, in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology of STU in Bratislava, the first "Academia Meets Industry" seminar took place. This seminar is a part of the project FrontSeat. "Academia Meets Industry" seminars are activities aimed to stimulate discussion between academia and industry managers and practitioners. We believe in the need for the industry to play an active role in this discussion to help to shape the academic research agenda that would reflect their pressing and emerging issues.

We organized the first Consortium Meeting of the Project FrontSeat on February 17, 2023. The Plenary meeting was organized in a virtual format. In the morning session, the members of the project Consortium from STU, RUB, and UNIPI discussed the current status of the project, WPs, future plans, etc. As a part of the afternoon session, there was organized an online scientific session as a part of the seminar series on the “Research Seminar on Smart Cybernetics“. The scientific session was opened to a wide audience. In this session, two scientific lectures were delivered:
(i) Sebastian Leonow (RUB Bochum, Germany): Collaborative control under strict security requirements on lean embedded hardware,
(ii) Riccardo Bacci di Capaci, Marco Vaccari (UNIPI, Italy): Acid Gas Treatment in Waste-to-energy Plants: a case study of system identification and advanced control.
The final session of the Consortium Meeting was dedicated to the General Assembly meeting.
