Intelligent Systems technologies continue to offeran ever growing set of
powerful
concepts and techniques that are indispensible in addressing challenges
faced in
process operations. In particular, intelligent systems are playing an
increasingly
important role in applying the concepts of computer integated manufacturing
to the
chemical process industries.  The present day view recognizes that
intelligent system
techniques while useful, must be considered as components of hybrid systems.
Techniques such as knowledge-based systems, neural networks, genetic
algorithms, etc.
have to be integrated with techniques based on mathematical and empirical
modeling,
statistical tools and so on for a successful approach. Intelligent systems
technologies
have not only added to the array of techniques for encoding various forms
of qualitative
models thereby extending modeling capacity beyond mathematical description
but have
also provided the basis for integrating a wide range of heterogeneous
techniques into
a coherent hybrid system.

The deadline for abstract submission is March 15, 1998.  NOTE that
this is much earlier than the general AIChE deadline.  You will be notified
of our decision early May.

Submit your 500-1000 word abstract via the AIChEWeb at
