Description
This book contains 182 papers presented at the 12th Symposium of Computer Aided Process Engineering (
ESCAPE-12), held
in The Hague, The Netherlands, May 26-29, 2002.
The objective of
ESCAPE-12 is to highlight advances made in the
development and use of computing methodologies and information technology in the area of Computer Aided Process Engineering and Process
Systems Engineering.
The Symposium addressed six themes: (1) Integrated Product&Process Design; (2) Process Synthesis &
Plant Design; (3) Process Dynamics & Control; (4) Manufacturing & Process Operations; (5) Computational Technologies; (6) Sustainable
CAPE Education and Careers for Chemical Engineers. These themes cover the traditional core activities of CAPE, and also some wider conceptual
perspectives, such as the increasing interplay between product and process design arising from the often complex internal structures
of modern products; the integration of production chains creating the network structure of the process industry and optimization over
life span dimensions, taking sustainability as the ultimate driver.
