ABSTRACTPI: Marianthi IerapetritouInstitution: Rutgers UniversityProposal Number: 0638947Title: FOCAPO 2008: Multi-Scale Integration of R&D, Manufacturing, and Optimization for Enterprise-Wide OperationsThis travel grant is support for the fifth conference on Foundations of Computer Aided Process Operations (FOCAPO) that will take place during the summer of 2008. The location of the conference will be most likely New England. FOCAPO 2008 will be sponsored by CACHE and CAST with possible additional sponsorships from INFORMS and APICS. The objective of the conference will be to create a forum where the main contributions in the area of process modeling and optimization will be discussed and the remaining challenges identified. The goal to expand the boundaries of process operations to include both smaller and larger scales and probe the problems that arise when modeling simultaneously considers smaller scales, down to the molecular level, as well as the whole supply chain. Bringing together academic and industrial participants, the conference will be a unique environment for discussion of past, present and potential future successes, as well as missed opportunities and failures. This should lead to the identification of road blocks and efficient ways to overcome these difficulties so that the future industrial process operations follow the advances achieved at academic institutions. It is therefore important to include participants from both industry as well as students who will be the future researches and practitioners in this area.FOCAPO 2008 plans on participation by at least 20 graduate students. Invited and contributed papers' sessions will be included, for a total of more than 50 papers. FOCAPO 2008 plans to attract around 150 participants with almost equal academic and industrial participation. Due to the nature of the topic and the increasing effects of globalization, international participation will be substantial. Intellectual Merit:The FOCAPO conference aims at promoting the exchange of ideas and the discussion of novel models, methodologies, solution procedures and innovative optimization approaches for process operations problems. The interaction of academics and industrial representatives is of particular importance and should lead to new collaborative projects of relevance in order to identify practical new problems in industry and publicize past academic advances.Broader Impact:The FOCAPO conferences bring together people (academics and industrial) from different disciplines, in particular chemical engineers, computer scientists, operations research, management science and industrial engineering to address pressing new problems in the area of process operations. They also identify existing bottlenecks to optimal productivity in the pharmaceutical, chemical, food, and agricultural industries. This should benefit U.S. industry and the U.S. economy.

摘要：Marianthi Ierapetritou机构：罗格斯大学提案号：0638947标题：FOCAPO 2008：多尺度集成的研发，制造和优化的企业范围内的运作这是旅费赠款支持第五届会议的基础计算机辅助过程操作（FOCAPO），将在2008年夏天举行。 会议地点很可能在新英格兰。FOCAPO 2008将由CACHE和CAST赞助，并可能获得INFORMS和APICS的额外赞助。 会议的目标是创建一个论坛，讨论过程建模和优化领域的主要贡献，并确定剩余的挑战。 目标是扩展过程操作的边界，以包括较小和较大的尺度，并探索建模时同时考虑较小尺度，下至分子水平以及整个供应链时出现的问题。 会议将学术界和工业界的参与者聚集在一起，为讨论过去，现在和未来的潜在成功以及错过的机会和失败提供了一个独特的环境。 这将导致确定障碍和克服这些困难的有效方法，以便未来的工业过程操作遵循学术机构取得的进展。 因此，重要的是要包括来自行业的参与者以及学生谁将是未来的研究和实践者在这一领域。FOCAPO 2008年计划参加至少20名研究生。邀请和贡献论文的会议将包括在内，共50多篇论文。 FOCAPO 2008计划吸引大约150名参与者，学术界和工业界的参与几乎相等。 由于这一专题的性质和全球化的影响越来越大，国际参与将是实质性的。学术价值：FOCAPO会议旨在促进思想交流和讨论过程操作问题的新模型，方法，解决方案程序和创新优化方法。 学术界和工业界代表的互动尤为重要，并应导致新的相关合作项目，以确定工业中的实际新问题，并宣传过去的学术进步。更广泛的影响：FOCAPO会议汇集了来自不同学科的人（学术界和工业界），特别是化学工程师，计算机科学家，运筹学，管理科学和工业工程，以解决过程操作领域紧迫的新问题。 他们还确定了制药，化工，食品和农业行业中现有的瓶颈，以实现最佳生产力。 这将有利于美国工业和美国经济。
