DESCRIPTION:The traditional approach to optimal economic operation of indu
 strial processes has been the use of a hierarchically structured control s
 ystem. This hierarchical structure comprises a steady state optimization l
 ayer\, that computes optimal static operating points for the system\, and 
 a dynamic model predictive control (MPC) layer\, that ensures the system s
 tays near these operating points. However\, with this translation of econo
 mic objectives to control objectives\, it is possible that the process is 
 not being optimally dynamically operated. Economic MPC\, where the economi
 cs of the process is optimized directly\, has been recently proposed to ov
 ercome the possible `sub-optimality' of the hierarchical architecture.\n\n
 This talk will focus on issues relating to the asymptotic stability of the
  closed-loop system resulting from the use of an economic MPC design\,  pr
 acticalities involved in setting up the dynamic economic optimization prob
 lem associated with economic MPC and a possible redesign of the hierarchic
 al structure that incorporates the economics of the process in the dynamic
  optimization.
