Workshop on State Estimation

State estimation of dynamic systems is an important prerequisite for safe and economical process operations. It is an integral part in such diverse applications as process monitoring, fault detection, process optimization, and model based control.

This workshop will focus on the question of how to estimate the state of a dynamic system accurately and fast, given online measurements and a possibly nonlinear model. The following topics shall be adressed in a familiar atmosphere with a lot of time for discussion:

• formulations of the inverse problem of state estimation
• moving horizon state and parameter estimation
• online algorithms
• nonlinear filtering techniques
• optimal sensor location
• coupling of estimation and model based control

The workshop will take place in the "Schmitthenner-Haus" in the old town of Heidelberg.
