CONVERGENCE AND INTEGRATION OF
LIFE SCIENCES AND ENGINEERING- IN-
FECTIOUS DISEASES
Based on recent research theme of the “convergence” of life sciences,
physical sciences, engineering and the “integration” of Humanities
and arts with sciences, engineering and medicine, designing and eval-
uating the treatment strategies for infectious diseases are addressed.
The infectious diseases addressed are human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV) and measles, whose behaviour is modeled and described by a set
of dynamical differential equations amenable for “integrating” with en-
gineering (i.e. optimal control theory and applications. However, when
detailed models for infectious diseases are considered for devising treat-
ments, the resulting optimal control laws result in treatment plans for
infectious diseases complex and unfeasible for practical implementation.
These recent research investigations present a feasible long termoptimal
control treatment through the application of singular perturbation and
time scales (SPaTS) methods. A nonlinear HIV model is decoupled into
lower order, slow and fast subsystems based on its inherent time scale
behaviour. Distinct slow and fast linear quadratic regulator (LQR) based
optimal control laws are designed and applied in a conventional long
term optimal treatment plan. The extensive simulation results manifest
the effectiveness of the proposed method.
