Dear colleagues,

this is to remind you that the 11th Symposium on Advanced Control of Chemical Processes, IFAC ADCHEM2021, will be held in Venice (Italy) from June 13 to June 16, 2021.

In view of the current COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided to move the conference to a pure virtual format.
The deadline for submitting your contribution(s) has now been fixed on November 20, 2020, which will not be extended further.

A reduced registration fee will be defined and published soon on the conference website.

All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the event using the open-access IFAC PapersOnLine series hosted on ScienceDirect and indexed in major databases (Scopus, ISI Web of Knowledge, Scholar, etc.).

We look forward to “seeing” you at ADCHEM2021 next year.

Best regards,

NOC Chairs
Gabriele Pannocchia (U. Pisa), Fabrizio Bezzo (U. Padova), Fabrizio Loddo (ENI)

and

IPC Chairs
Jong Min Lee (Seoul National University), Martha Grover (Georgia Inst. of Technology), Leo Chiang (Dow Chemical)

SCOPE AND TOPICS
ADCHEM is a triennial meeting of the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC). ADCHEM 2021 is sponsored by the IFAC Technical Committee on Chemical Process Control and co-sponsored by the IFAC Technical Committees on Non-linear Control Systems, Biosystems and Bioprocesses, and Fault Detection, Supervision and Safety of Technical Processes.
Following the traditions of the previous ADCHEM Symposia held in Toulouse(1991), Kyoto (1994), Banff (1997), Pisa (2000), Hong Kong (2003), Gramado (2006), Istanbul (2009), Singapore (2012), Whistler (2015), and Shenyang (2018), ADCHEM 2021 will bring together in Venice researchers and practitioners from all over the world to facilitate discussions of recent developments in the control and modeling of chemical, biomedical, and other process systems.
Covering both theory and applications, the Symposium will provide an ideal opportunity for presenting new results and developments in:
•    MODEL-BASED CONTROL
•    MODELING AND IDENTIFICATION
•    SCHEDULING AND OPTIMIZATION
•    BIG DATA ANALYTICS AND MONITORING
•    BATCH PROCESSES
•    ENERGY PROCESSES
•    INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
