Dear CAST Colleagues I am resending the call for invited sessions for the 2010 American Control Conference. The September 15, 2009 deadline for proposal submission is approaching fast, and so far, to my knowledge, there have been no submissions from CAST. AIChE and CAST members have been traditionally strong supporters of the American Control Conference in terms of invited sessions. I would like to encourage members of our community to consider submitting an invited session proposal to the 2010 ACC by the September 15 deadline. Thank you very much John P.
