Abstract: A spray dryer system for transforming a liquid-solid suspension feed solution into a desirable output product. A drying chamber having a controller device that is configured to obtain a first input associated with properties of a desirable output product, obtain a second input associated with critical quality attributes (CQAs) of the desirable output product, and obtain a third input associated with operational process variables of the drying chamber to generate the desirable output product. The drying chamber is adapted to receive dispersed droplets of a feed solution. The dispersed droplets are generated based on the obtained properties, obtained CQAs, and obtained operational process variables, and thereby transforms the dispersed droplets into dry particles by drying the dispersed droplets by supplying a continuous flow of the air for drying. The dry particles are generated based on the obtained properties, obtained CQAs, and obtained operational process variables.

Abstract: Information defining a plurality of states, a plurality of transitions, an initial state, and a final state is received from a user. The user may also provide additional information including pre-conditions and post-conditions for one or more transitions. Context information including one or more context variables and context variable values is generated based on the information provided by the user. A first plurality of possible paths between the initial state and the final state is automatically identified, wherein each path traverses at least one state and at least one transition. A second plurality of paths is identified from among the plurality of paths, based on the context information and the pre-conditions defined by the user. A Q-value is determined for each path in the second plurality of paths, using the rewards. A path having a highest Q-value is selected and presented to the user as a BPM. An acceptance or rejection of the proposed BPM is received from the user.
