Common Sense Automation - In Space!
Leroy Chiao, PhD., NASA Astronaut
A Chemical Engineer by training, Leroy Chiao has experience on four space missions for NASA, including a six month mission as Commander of the International Space Station. Dr. Chiao has a solid understanding of the common-sense issues associated with automation.
Join us for a dynamic and informative look at automation, process control, situational awareness, and alarm management - as applied to the operation of the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station.
The Control Room and the Operator of the Future
Walt Boyes, Editor-In-Chief, Control Magazine
Advances in control room design and operator training, coupled with the difficulty of finding and training operations personnel are requiring designers to rethink the entire design of control rooms, alarm management systems, and the way operators interface with the process. Control editor in chief Walt Boyes will present a futurist's view of what we might be looking forward to in the coming years. Imagine what ubiquitous data, ever faster processors, virtual reality and wired and wireless connectivity with controllers and sensors might make a control room look like. Now add to that the high resolution simulation capabilities of the modern DCS...and add to that the possibility of living, self-updating as-built models of the plant...Walt will get you thinking.
Control System "Must Haves" - Past, Present, and Future
Tom Fiske, PhD, Senior Analyst, ARC
Business has changed a lot in the past 30 years, and business requirements for control systems continue to evolve as well. Higher business demands have been met by a series of “must have” applications through the years, Building on the history of control system requirements, this presentation examines the current and future state of control system requirements. See how you can stay competitive and be prepared for the future.
