European Initiatives

FP7 & H2020 Projects

  • Program: ITN

  • Project acronym: TEMPO

  • Project title: Training in Embedded Predictive Control and Optimization

  • Duration: January 2014 - January 2018

  • Coordinator: Tor Arne Johanson; with Sorin Olaru (as French PI)

  • Other partners: U. Frieburg, Oxford, Imperial College; NTNU Trondheim; STUBA Bratislava; EPFL Lausanne; KU Leuven, Renault, ABB, Ampyx Power

  • Abstract: TEMPO is an international PhD program for highly motivated young scientists, where state-of-the-art research is combined with a comprehensive training program. The network is funded by the European Community’s Seventh Framework program. The European Commission wants to make research careers more attractive to young people and therefore offers early-stage researchers (ESRs) a PhD program the opportunity to improve their research skills, join established research teams and enhance their career prospects via the Marie Curie Initial Training Networks (ITN) in the area of Embedded Predictive Control and Optimization.

Collaborations in European Programs, Except FP7 & H2020

  • Program: PHC BOSPHORE 2016 (Turkey)

  • Project title: Robust Control of Time Delayed Linear Parameter Varying Systems via Switched Controllers.

  • Duration: January 2016 - December 2017

  • Coordinator: Frédéric Mazenc (France), Hitay Özbay (Turkey).

  • Abstract: The main goal of this project is to develop computational algorithms for robust controller design for different classes of time delay systems appearing in various engineering applications such as chemical processes, transportation systems and communications networks. The participants will consider control problems of significant practical implications in this area: (i) developing new computational techniques for simple (low order) reliable and scalable decentralized controllers for control of (and control over) networks; and (ii) reducing conservatism in recently developed dwell-time based stability results for the analysis of switched time delay systems. Moreover, design of scalable low order controllers for reducing the effect of time delays is an important problem investigated in this project. One of the objectives of this collaboration is to generalize the design techniques already developed by the French and Turkish teams to larger classes of time delay systems, in particular multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) systems with time varying delays.

  • Program: PHC BRANCUSI 2017 (Romania)

  • Project acronym: ProCo

  • Project title: Systems with propagation: New approaches in control design for oscillation quenching

  • Duration: January 2016 - December 2018

  • Coordinator: Islam Boussaada (France) et Daniela Danciu (Romania)

  • Abstract: The project aims to building a unitary framework for the modeling, the analysis and the control of distributed-parameters systems (DPS) described by hyperbolic partial differential equations in one space variable and non-standard boundary conditions. This main objectives are modeling of DPS and the corresponding functional differential equations, the construction of reduced-order models approximating DPS by both numerical and computational modeling, the design of new control methods for oscillations quenching in DPS.

  • Program: PHC CARLSO FINLEY 2017 (Cuba)

  • Project title: MODELISATION ET COMMANDE POUR LE PROCESSUS DE CRYOCONSERVATION.

  • Duration: June 2017 - December 2017

  • Coordinator: Sorin Olaru (France), Marcos Martinez Montero (Turkey).

  • Abstract: The aim of this project is to initiat a collaboration on subjects related to the mathematical modelling of the dynamics involved in the cryopreservations process. In particular, the viability analysis of the vegetal material subject to cryogeny is one of the main objectives. The approach will realy on the evaluation electric leakage properties.

  • Program: COST Action

  • Project acronym: FRACTAL

  • Project title: Fractional-order systems; analysis, synthesis and their importance for future design

  • Duration: November 2016 - October 2020

  • Coordinator: Jaroslav Koton Czech Republic

  • Abstract: Fractional-order systems have lately been attracting significant attention and gaining more acceptance as generalization to classical integer-order systems. Mathematical basics of fractional-order calculus were laid nearly 300 years ago and since that it has gained deeply rooted mathematical concepts. Today, it is known that many real dynamic systems cannot be described by a system of simple differential equation or of integer-order system. In practice we can encounter such systems in electronics, signal processing, thermodynamics, biology, medicine, control theory, etc. The Action will favor scientific advancement in above mentioned areas by coordinating activities of academic research groups towards an efficient deployment of fractal theory to industry applications.
