Description

The objectives of the conference were: to define and discuss the problems of plant operations; report on the development and application of computing and computation tools and techniques for solving these problems; and bring together leading academic and industrial representatives to promote increased future interaction and cooperation in defining and solving operations problems. The participants came from 15 different countries; approximately 40% were from academic institutions, 40% from operating companies and 20% from engineering, software and other companies serving the process industries. This diversity of backgrounds and opinions served to make the conference vital and informative and is reflected in this proceedings volume.
