Dear Colleagues,

The Organizing Committee has the pleasure to invite you to participate in the 12th IFAC Symposium on Dynamics and Control of Process Systems, including Biosystems (DYCOPS 2019) to be held in Florianópolis, Brazil, April 23-26, 2019.

DYCOPS is the triennial meeting of IFAC for bringing together specialists active in academic research and industrial development in the broad field of process dynamics, control and optimization applied to bio/chemical systems and biotechnology. The DYCOPS symposia were initiated over 30 years ago under the name DYCORD (Dynamics and Control of Chemical Reactors, Distillation Columns and Batch Reactors), while CAB (Computer Applications in Biotechnology) originates from a series of events that started during the mid-1970s. The merging of the two events into a single symposium was successfully implemented in the last DYCOPS-CAB 2016, held in Trondheim, Norway. It will be maintained in Florianópolis, Brazil in 2019. This will be the first time that the DYCOPS symposium is coming to South America!
