The deadline for abstracts for the AIChE Annual Conference has been extended until next Monday, May 19.
That means there's still an opportunity to submit an abstract for our
Division 10(e) session on "Chemical Engineering Applications of Web
2.0"
Abstracts may be submitted for consideration via the AIChE Conference

Session Description
Chemical Engineering Applications of
Web 2.0
Technology pundit and publisher Tim O'Reilly first coined
the term "Web 2.0" in 2004, to describe a convergence of
technologies and business models that have had a significant impact on the way
we view the World Wide Web. Social Networking sites such as FaceBook and
LinkedIn, social bookmarking sites such as del.icio.us, and collaborative
content tools such as Wikis and blogs, are all part of this transformation of
the web from “top down” information models to “bottom-up” models, where
information is built collaboratively by communities of interest. This session
will focus on applications of these technologies to problems in chemical
engineering and chemical engineering education. Papers and/or posters are
invited which address: chemical engineering blogs and wikis; use of social
networking applications within the chemical engineering community; use of
collaborative bookmarking sites and other Web 2.0 tools within the chemical
engineering profession; other applications of Web 2.0 technology to chemical
engineering
