                       CALL FOR PAPERS

   Advances in Bioprocessing: Sensors, Control and Optimization

                  AIChE 1998 Annual Meeting
                     November 15-20, 1998
                          Miami, FL

Co-sponsored by the Computing and Systems Technology and the Food,
Pharmaceutical and Bioengineering Divisions
Area 10b - Systems and Process Control
Area 15c - Biochemical Engineering

The continuing industry-wide drive to reduce development time for
bioprocesses while maintaining high product quality and yields has
created an ever increasing need for sophisticated but practical
approaches for the optimization and control of bioprocesses.
Contributions are solicited describing the development and application
of novel off-line optimization techniques as well as on-line sensors and
control strategies. Fundamental or applied papers in the areas of
biomedical, pharmaceutical, food and commodity biochemicals are invited.
Suggested topics include but are not limited to bioreactor and process
design for robustness and controllability, the application of empirical,
model-based, and metabolic optimization techniques for process and
organism design, and the use of statistical design or artificial
intelligence applications to process optimization.  Additional topics
of interest include recent developments in on-line sensors and measurement
techniques for property and rate measurements as applied to biochemical
process identification and control. Contributions focusing on advanced
modeling and control strategies for biochemical processes also are
welcome.

In order to submit a paper, a completed proposal-to-present (PTP) form
and a one page abstract must be submitted to the AIChE web site
(www.aiche.org) by April 1, 1998.
