   This CD contains the papers presented at the 14th European Symposium on Computer Aided Process Engineering (ESCAPE-14), held in Lisbon, Portugal, from May 16– 19, 2004.
ESCAPE-14 focus on five main leading themes: Product and Process Design, Synthesis and Process Integration, Process Control and Analysis, Manufacturing and Process Operations and New Challenges in CAPE which define the papers arrangements along this book.
A total of 237 papers, consisting of 12 keynotes and 225 contributions (oral or poster) are included in this CD. All papers have been reviewed and we are grateful to the members of the international scientific committee for their evaluations, comments and recommendations. It was an intensive task since we started with 485 submitted abstracts. The selection process involved review of abstracts, review of manuscripts and final acceptance of the revised manuscripts.
We hope that the contents of this CD will serve as a valuable reference tool to the scientific and industrial community and that it will contribute to the progress in computer aided process and product engineering.
