The Control Systems conference is held every two years and is the preeminent conference in the area of process measurement and control and systems engineering for the pulp and paper industry. In 2016 the conference will be held at the same time and place as the SPCI 2016 Convention in Stockholm, Sweden. The venue for the 2016 event will be the Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre.
The conference attracts presenters and attendees from all major pulp and paper producing countries, so this will be your best opportunity to network with experts from all around the world and to learn more about important ongoing work in the field. The conference will focus towards the practical use of new and emerging technologies and on research on the brink of implementation.
We encourage you to submit papers for the conference concerning relevant topics, such as:
- Measurement and control of relevant industrial processes
- Novel on-line sensors and sensing techniques
- Methods and tools for improving energy efficiency
- Process and control performance assessment
- Operator decision support and augmentation systems
- Production management and optimization
- Process data analysis
- Modeling and simulation
- Measurement and control in biorefinery and bioenergy processes
- Applications of Soft sensors and Multivariate statistics in process control.
We will consider technically sound papers on any topic concerning pulp and paper control systems and related subjects that can potentially benefit pulp and paper producers, with a specific focus on experiences from real mill implementations.
