In recent years, corpus linguistics has become more and more important to a broad community, including people working in theoretical, applied and ...

The Tennessee Eastman (TE) Control Challenge proposed by Downs and Vogel [1] is a test bed problem for use in evaluating advanced process control methodologies from a plant-wide perspective. The dynamic model for the process (based on an actual industrial process) integrates the operation of five unit operations; viz. an exothermic, two-phase reactor, a partial condenser, a centrifugal compress...

We explain why for the program verifier challenge proposed in [58] to gain practical impact, one needs to include rigorous definitions and analysis, prior to code development and comprising both experimental validation and mathematical verification, of ground models, i.e. blueprints that describe the application-content of programs. This implies the need to link the relevant properties of such ...
