CACHE Invited Session 2007 AIChE Annual Meeting CACHE Virtual Process Control Online Resources for Graduate Control Education Observations Useful resource for new graduate students Difficult to get contributions –High load, education on “back burner”? –Many want to “polish” their material Various older books available –Other books and chapters that may be useful?

CACHE Invited Session 2007 AIChE Annual Meeting CACHE Virtual Process Control Online Resources for Graduate Control Education Recent Vision 2007 NSF Engineering Virtual Organization –Gatzke, Hahn, and Parker Community driven resources (process control wiki) –Distributed contributions and editing –Reviewers: Not traditional peer review system Community news / research / career resource –Community moderated, community generated content –Reviewers: CACHE already exists Grow into larger community (CAST 10, etc.) Result: Not recommended for funding, need new vision? Supported: CACHE effort with multiple industrial participants

CACHE Invited Session 2007 AIChE Annual Meeting CACHE Virtual Process Control Online Resources for Graduate Control Education Conclusions We need more content: course notes, book chapter, challenge problems, review articles, presentations, other… Technology may stay simple for now Still interested in community driven resource Acknowledgements Contributors (past and future) Tom Edgar and the rest of the committee
