Seoul National Univ SCOPE Over the past ten years we have witnessed a broadly-based and intense effort to bring ideas and methodologies from artificial intelligence into the scope of process systems engineering problems. Academic research and industrial practice have generated an impressive amount of work, which spans, (i) a multitude of theoretical developments, (ii) a large variety of paradigms, and (iii) virtually every aspect of process engineering work, e.g. product and process development and design, process operations monitoring- diagnosis, process control, operations planning and scheduling, operator training, process hazards analysis and risk assessment, etc. Ten years later, it is important to pose for a week and critically examine what happened during these ten years; evaluate the work carried out in several areas, identify successes and failures, and debate directions for future work. We are at an important junction, especially in view of the fact that work in the area of intelligent systems has matured significantly and is becoming well-integrated into the main stream activities of process engineering. In response to these challenges, CACHE Corp. is organizing ISPE '95 with the following objectives in mind: 1 Bring together a diverse group of people with interests in modeling and simulation, design, operations/control, process management, computer science and technology, operations research, statistics, systems and control theory, all of which are components in the solution of process engineering problems. 2 Present the state-of-the-art developments in intelligent systems for various areas of process engineering. 3 Discuss the experience gained from numerous applications of intelligent systems in process industry. 4 Provide a forum for in-depth discussions between researchers and practitioners on the theoretical and practical challenges in developing and deploying intelligent systems in industry. The Conference program will include 1. invited, state-of-the-art lectures, 2. presentation of state-of-the-art industrial applications, 3. contributed papers on theory and implementation, 4. extensive discussion periods with general-audience participation, and 5. demonstrations of commercial products. __________________________________________ CALL FOR CONTRIBUTED PAPERS If you would like to make a contributed poster presentation at ISPE '95, submit a 500-word synopsis of your presentation along with the completed application for conference registration to: Professor James F.
