This book presents the latest trends in computing, computer graphics and computerized design tools. It also gives a state-of-the-art overview of modelling, process integration and process design. All papers describe new computer algorithms and/or techniques for the whole range of computers from the PC to the supercomputer. Unit operations are well covered, as well as a number of topics in reactor engineering and control engineering. These proceedings should be of interest not only to chemical engineers, but also to computer scientists, control engineers, software developers and all those with an education or management function in chemical engineering.
