We welcome you to attend the PSE'97 / ESCAPE-7 symposium in Trondheim, Norway
during 25-29 May 1997. This is the main world-wide event in 1997 in the
area of chemical process systems engineering.
The symposium will bring together engineers and scientists from universities,
R&D laboratories, and the process industries to focus attention on the use
of new information technology tools and methods in the design and operation
of the chemical process industry.
The symposium covers the areas of design and synthesis, control and operations,
modelling and simulation, and intelligent systems. Thursday 29 May
has been designated as an "industrial focus day".
>From the more than 600 abstracts that were submitted for review, an
excellent technical program of about 200 papers has been put together.
PSE'97 / ESCAPE-7 is organized by the Center for Process Systems
Engineering (PROST) at the Norwegian University of Science and
Technology (NTNU). It follows the previous PSE symposium in Kyongju, Korea
in 1994 and the previous ESCAPE symposium in Rhodes, Greece in 1996.
Immediately prior to the symposium, two workshops will be organized -
one with focus on Process Integration, the other one on Process
Operations.
