Description This book contains papers presented at the 13th European Symposium on Computer Aided Process Engineering (ESCAPE-13). The ESCAPE symposia
bring together scientists, students and engineers from academia and industry, who are active in the research and application of Computer
Aided Process Engineering.
The objective of ESCAPE-13 is to promote CAPE applications into new businesses and technologies by highlighting
the use of computers and information technology tools in five specific areas: process design; process control and dynamics; modeling,
simulation and optimization; applications in pulp and paper industry; and applications in biotechnology.
