First Announcement From: "James B. Rawlings" To: cast10@bevo.che.wisc.edu Date: Thu, 3 Feb 2000 22:20:49 -0600 (CST) Message-ID: <14490.21409.256495.73288@bahaha.che.wisc.edu> ----------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: Past postings on the CAST10 Email List are archived on the World Wide Web at http://www.che.wisc.edu/cast10 ----------------------------------------------------------------- The Tradition Continues.... Chemical Process Control 6 *** First announcement *** Please mark your calendars. We would greatly appreciate your forwarding this announcement to interested colleagues. We are seeking wide distribution among people with process systems backgrounds and interests. It is particularly important to reach interested industrial practitioners and people outside the U.S. and North America, who are not well represented on the cast email list. Conference registration information will be provided in a second announcement in about one month. When: January 7-12, 2001 Where: Westward Look Resort, Tucson, Arizona Sessions The following is a tentative sessions list. Titles may change before the final announcement. * Controller performance monitoring * New and emerging tools from control theory * Process modeling and identification * Hybrid discrete and continuous systems * Chemical reactors and separators * Applications in the life sciences * Poster session for contributed papers * Summary session: issues in the emerging researcher, manufacturer, vendor triangle Intended Audience The CPC conference is an international conference attracting participants from North and South America, Europe and the Pacific Rim. In order to achieve the meeting goals, the number of attendants will be limited to approximately 150. Based on previous CPC meetings, we expect 50-75% industrial attendees and the remaining attendees from universities. Format In the tradition of CPC conferences, speakers will be selected and all oral presentations will be invited. A poster session will be available for submitted contributions. Number of Participants 100-150 attendees expected (approximately 130 people attended CPC 5). Goals The goals of the CPC conference series are to: 1. Gain an appreciation of the state of process control practice in industries currently or potentially employing and supported by process control engineers and chemical engineers with systems backgrounds. 2. Present tutorial overviews for nonspecialists in each of the important areas of systems and control theory, particularly emerging and new areas. 3. Provide a forum for in-depth discussions between university researchers, industrial practitioners and commercial control technology vendors. 4. Provide practitioners and vendors with a current understanding of the new and significant tools emerging from the research community in order to stimulate wider implementation. 5.Provide a forum for assessing promising research directions for the next decade. Assess needs and challenges in the process industries, as well as evaluate opportunities for increased activity and application in non-traditional industries.
