To all Advanced Control Professionals from Industry Dear Colleague, In my role as Industrial Co-Chair for ADCHEM 2009, I would like to call your attention, and invite you to submit a paper to this prestigious triennial IFAC Symposium. ADCHEM 2009 will be held on the campus of Koç University in Istanbul, Turkey on July 12-15 2009. ADCHEM 2009 is co-sponsored by the Chemical Process Control, Non-linear Control Systems and SAFEPROCESS Technical Committees of the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC). Following the tradition of the previous ADCHEM symposia held in Toulouse (1991), Kyoto (1994), Banff (1997), Pisa (2000), Hong Kong (2003) and Gramado (2006), ADCHEM 2009 will bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss the recent developments in control of chemical, biochemical and closely related process systems. Both theory and applications will be covered. The International Program Committee (IPC) and the National Program Committee (NPC) of ADCHEM 2009 are seeking to achieve increased industrial participation at the conference. The intent is to have very strong technical contributions from industry in addition to those from academia. The industrial contributions should demonstrate the innovation, creativity and attention to detail necessary to make Advanced Control applications succeed in real life. Contributions highlighting and to the extent possible documenting the economic - before and after - aspects of the Advanced Control application are particularly encouraged. Contributions in any of the Tentative Meeting Topics listed below will be adequate. Tentative Meeting Topics * Process Modeling and Identification * Advanced Process Control Strategies * Process and Control Monitoring * Plantwide Control * Process Control Applications * Emerging Methods and Technologies Papers on new approaches and on applications outside the classical chemical process control area are also welcome. With the deadline for submission of draft papers less than a year away (Dec 15, 2008) I am writing now to encourage you to submit a contribution, in order to give you plenty of time to work on the paper and on the internal approval process that might be required within your company. For more details about the conference, deadlines and venue, please access the official symposium website adchem09.ku.edu.tr I am looking forward to your participation, and to making the next ADCHEM Symposium a most special one.
