The event will feature a series of technical presentations, selected by a Scientific Committee of internationally recognized domain experts, as well as time for networking and exchange. It will close with a roundtable discussion to define future research needs and highlight opportunities for collaboration and business applications. The Scientific Committee will then invite 5 to 7 presenters to submit manuscripts to be published in a 2012 Special Issue of the Journal of Building Performance Simulation (JBPS) on "MPC in Buildings." Please see the attached call for presentation proposals. Proposals and inquiries can be directed to <a href="mailto:MPCworkshop@gmail.com">MPCworkshop@gmail.com</a>. Presentation proposals are due March 15, 2011.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
