Contributed Papers (Poster Presentations)
The Contributed Papers session is a significant highlight of FOCAPO 2008. In the context of the theme of the conference "Multi-Scale Integration of R&D, Manufacturing, and Optimization for Enterprise-Wide Operations" we are seeking papers that cover results, methods, and applications in the traditional process operations areas in addition to areas that may not have been focused on at previous FOCAPO conferences. These non-traditional areas might include energy, multiscale modeling, systems biology, nano-applications, etc.
Poster Information
FOCAPO 2008 will include two poster sessions for the contributed papers. One will be on Monday evening, June 30th from 7:30 pm to 10:00 pm and the other will be on Tuesday afternoon, July 1st from 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm. Posters will be assigned to one of these two sessions.The poster boards will be double sided. Each poster presentation will have ONE SIDE of a panel. The poster area will be: width = 72 in (183 cm) and height = 48 in (122 cm). The poster boards will be on stands.
