Dear colleagues,

The Process Systems Engineering Workshop (http://lades.peq.coppe.ufrj.br/pse2011) will be an international event involving world-renowned researchers. This workshop aims at capacitating engineers on modern computational techniques applied to the process industry.

This event will take place in Angra dos Reis (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), at the Hotel do Bosque, from July 20-28, 2011. It will be comprised of two modules that address different aspects related to the operation and planning of the process industry, namely Modeling, Simulation and Process Control (July 20-23) and Process Chain Optimization (July 25-28):

Module I: Modeling, Simulation and Process Control (July 20-23)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Sigurd Skogestad - Norwegian University of Science and Technology: "Plantwide Control"
- Thomas E. Marlin (McMaster University): "Increasing Plant Profit through Real-time Control"
- Jorge O. Trierweiler (UFRGS): "Model Predictive Control: Tuning and Performance Assessment"
- Marco Antônio Müller (VRTech): "Dynamic Simulation and Process Control with EMSO Simulator"

Module II: Process Chain Optimization (July 25-28)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Ignacio Grossmann (Carnegie Mellon University): "Models for Planning, Scheduling and Supply Chain Optimization"
- Lorenz T. Biegler (Carnegie Mellon University): "Large-scale Nonlinear Programming"
- Benoît Chachuat (Imperial College London): "Global Optimization Methods and Tools"
- José Luiz de Medeiros (UFRJ): "Exergy Analysis of Chemical Processes"
