U.S.-Brazil Program: 2nd Pan American Workshop on Process Systems Engineering; Guaruja, Sao Brazil, September 20-21, 2001

0114466Crisalle这个美洲计划奖将支持奥斯卡D。佛罗里达大学的Crisalle与Jose M.圣保罗大学的平托，组织将于2001年9月20 - 21日在巴西圣保罗的瓜鲁哈举行的第二届泛美过程系统工程研讨会。 该项目将集中在过程系统工程的两个特定领域：（1）过程控制和（2）过程规划和优化。 研讨会的主要目标是确定共同的研究重点，并探讨在工艺工程研究方面可能进行联合研究合作的领域，为参与国带来重大的科学和经济利益。 本次研讨会将带来几个好处，包括（1）在过程控制领域发展新的合作，（2）扩大在过程规划和优化领域的合作数量，超过通过以前的研讨会实现的数量，（3）增加美国和南美之间的学生和教师交流的数量，及（4）在《化学工程计算机》专刊上发表了几篇专门报道研讨会的文章。

0114466CrisalleThis Americas Program award will support Dr. Oscar D. Crisalle of the University of Florida in collaboration with Dr. Jose M. Pinto of the University of Sao Paulo, for the organization of the 2nd Pan American Workshop on Process Systems Engineering to be held in Guaruja, Sao Paulo, Brazil on September 20-21, 2001. This project will focus on two specific areas of process systems engineering: (1) Process Control and (2) Process Planning and Optimization. The major goal of the workshop is to identify common research priorities, and to explore possible areas of joint research cooperation in process engineering research that can lead to significant scientific and economic benefits for the participating countries. Several benefits will be derived from this workshop, including (1) the development of new collaborations in the area of process control, (2) expanding the number of collaborations in the area of process planning and optimization beyond that achieved through a previous workshop, (3) increasing the number of exchanges of students and faculty between the US and South America, and (4) the publication of several articles in a special issue of computers in Chemical Engineering dedicated to covering the workshop.
