Linking Models and Experiments

This position paper gives an overview of the discussion that took place at FIPSE 2 at Aldemar Resort, east of Heraklion, Crete, in June 21–23, 2014. This is the second conference in the series “Future Innovation in Process Systems Engineering” (http://fi-in-pse.org), which takes place every other year in Greece, with the objective to discuss open research challenges in three topics in Process Systems Engineering. One of the topics of FIPSE 2 was the issue of “Linking Models and Experiments”, which is described in this publication. Process models have been used extensively in academia and industry for several decades. Yet, this paper argues that there are still substantial challenges to be addressed along the lines of model structure selection, identifiability, experiment design, nonlinear parameter estimation, model validation, model improvement, online model adaptation, model portability, modeling of complex systems, numerical methods, software environments, and implementation aspects. Although there has...
