OPTEC Workshop on Moving Horizon Estimation and System Identification, 29-30 August 2012, Leuven, Belgium

This workshop spans from theory to applications, and topics of interest include:

• moving horizon estimation formulations
• linear and nonlinear models
• constrained estimation and identification
• use of L1 vs L2 vs Huber penalties
• robust estimation and regularization
• fault and outlier detection
• Kalman smoothing and filtering
• efficient numerical methods
• sparsity exploiting linear algebra
• single shooting vs. multiple shooting vs. collocation
• embedded optimization and code generation
• applications in aerospace, process systems, mechatronics, robotics
• open source and commercial software tools

The workshop will be planned as a two day event (starting late the first day and stopping early the second day to include time for travel), including two lunches and a workshop dinner on the evening between the two days. It will be single track with enough time for discussion after each talk.

Confirmed keynote speakers giving 45 minute talks:

• Lennart Ljung (Linköping): Parameter estimation using smoothing and MPC
• Jim Rawlings (UW Madison): Current status and future challenges of moving horizon state estimation

If you want to participate with a poster or a 25 minute talk, please send a short title and abstract to
Milan Vukov <milan.vukov@esat.kuleuven.be> before April 15.
We will confirm acceptance as a talk or as a poster latest by May 15.
The workshop participation fee is 170 Euro.

Organizing Committee: M. Diehl (chair), Th. Schoen (co-chair), M. Vukov, R. Pintelon, J. Schoukens, J. Swevers, F. Logist, J. Suykens, J. De bruyn.
