*From: Jim Rawlings, Area 10b chairman
Listed below are all the area 10b sessions for the fall 1996 AIChE
meeting in Chicago. Session chairmen are encouraged to submit more
detailed calls for papers for their sessions. You can send these to
Jeff Kantor for posting and archival (kantor@nd.edu).
Please submit abstracts as instructed at the end of this message. We
should now have one consistent set of abstract submission intructions
for all of area 10. John Eaton has updated the PTP forms so that you
can submit a 3 page extended abstract for review and posting on the
WWW. AIChE will no longer offer a one page printed abstract booklet
for sale at the meeting.

Submissions (Deadline: March 1, 1996 for CAST sessions; otherwise as noted)
Please send the following to the AREA CHAIR, with copies to the Chair
and Co-chair of the session you think is most appropriate for your
work. E-MAIL SUBMISSIONS ARE STRONGLY PREFERRRED.
1. An Extended Abstract of approximately 550 words, and up to 3 pages, which
will be reviewed as described below. AIChE has discontinued the printed
abstract booklet. In its place, the area chairs will attempt to post the
extended abstracts of accepted papers on the World Wide Web for browsing
before the meeting.
2. Professional affiliations and full contact information including postal
address, phone, fax and E-mail for all authors.
3. Indicate the speaker.
4. Indicate if this paper is submitted for presentation at another session
in this meeting or elsewhere.
5. This extended abstract should be submitted to Area Chair as follows
(a) Using the electronic PTP form and LaTeX, available by anonymous
ftp from ftp.che.wisc.edu in the pub/tex/aiche directory. This method
is preferred because it will allow automatic preparation of the
abstracts for the WWW. All of the information in steps 1.-5. are
supported with this electronic form. The form is being updated now
from the one page limit of previous meetings. The README file will
tell you if the files you ftp are good for 1996.
(b) A flat ascii file containing the information in 1.-5. Email is
preferred, but this file can also be submitted via postal mail on a
floppy. We will have to process this information by hand to put it on
the WWW.
(c) A postal mailing of the information in 1.-5. on paper. If you go
this route, we will accept your abstract for review, but we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to post your abstract on the WWW.
Centralized Review Procedure:
1. Extended abstracts will receive ANONYMOUS reviews by three or four
session chairs and/or co-chairs and/or the Area Chair and Vice-Chair, for
technical content, novelty and style. Submissions may be shifted between
sessions or other CAST areas as appropriate.
2. Each area will have the possibility of a poster session with a title to
be selected after the program is completed. The poster sessions may be
topical and the authors will not know if their submissions will be accepted
in the poster session or in an oral session until they receive notification
of acceptance.
3. Deadline: March 1, 1996. Authors submitting by the March 1 deadline will
be notified of decisions on acceptance on or about May 1, or as close to
this date as the schedules of the reviewers, the Meeting Program Chair, and
the AIChE permit.
4. By submitting an abstract, the authors agree to meeting all deadlines and
to furnish 60 paper copies of visual aids for the audience in oral
presentations. (This is a CAST policy, intended to improve the quality of
the presentations and the benefits for the audience).
5. Updates and revisions of this and other CAST information can be found on
the WWW server (http://control.cheg.nd.edu:80/cast10/)
6. Special note: AIChE is preparing guidelines for submission of final CAST
abstracts in electronic form, since that seemed to work well at the Miami
meeting. This *might* mean some extra work for the authors of accepted
papers. The instructions will be posted on the WWW server listed above,
through the CAST E-mail list and in the sci.engr.chem newsgroup as soon as
they are available.

Inverse Problems and Methods in Chemical Engineering
Many chemical engineering applications can be posed as inverse
problems. They may be ill-posed if the outputs do not depend
continuously on the input data. Applications of inverse methods include
parameter estimation and domain identification from overspecified
boundary data. Sources of models and data include partial differential
equations, multivariate statistical models, process data, physical
property measurements and imaging data. Common difficulties in solving
the inverse formulation include non-existent or non-unique solutions,
sensitivity of the output to the input conditions, and insufficient or
inaccurate data. This session seeks contributions which pose novel
inverse problem formulations, provide new developments into the
numerical solution or provide an analysis to explain difficulties in
the solution of inverse problem formulations.
Please submit camera-ready Abstract (Proposal to Present Form) and an
additional Extended Abstract for all Area 10D Sessions to the 1996 Area
