Thus, process plants must be designed to be easily reconfigured as and when necessary. \"A Distributed Coordination Approach to Reconfigurable Process Control\" presents research that addresses this issue, via developing a new distributed framework that will enable the building of a process control system that is capable of reconfigurability. This framework views the process as a set of readily-integrated, modular process elements, which operate relatively independently and are each supported by a degree of stand-alone decision-making capability. The rationale and benefits of moving towards the new approach is demonstrated by means of a worked example of a real process plant. The research will also help end-users to gain an understanding of the economic aspects of material flows across their plants, and the ways in which their processes can be integrated across the enterprise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nirav Chokshi,Duncan McFarlane\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1849967172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781849967174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/28\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.43d","brand":"Nirav Chokshi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47424500793599,"sku":"9781849967174","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_66eaf4b6-66b6-4632-b3cf-d5da988a6075.jpg?v=1761530631","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-distributed-coordination-approach-to-nirav-chokshi-9781849967174","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
