The city of Trondheim celebrates its 1000 years anniversary in 1997.

The main areas of the joint conference will fall into the following broad
categories:

\begin{enumerate}
   \item {\bf Design and synthesis}
   \item {\bf Control and operations}
   \item {\bf Modeling, simulation and numerical methods}
   \item {\bf Intelligent systems in design, operation and control.}
         This includes scheduling and planning, decision support
	 systems, plant and condition monitoring, as well as use of
	 AI methods, neural networks, etc. 
   \item {\bf Industrial applications and case studies.}
\end{enumerate}


The Proceedings are planned to be published as a supplementary volume of 
Comp. Chem. Engng.
