Welcome toThe 9th PSE Asia 2020
Asynchronous Webinar
Official website: https://PSEAsia2020.org
On behalf of the Standing Committee (SC), the International Program Committee(IPC), and the National Organizing Committee (NOC), we would like to warmly
welcome you to the 2020 9th Asian Symposium on Process Systems
Engineering (the 9th PSE Asia 2020). We are delighted to have you here toshare your experiences and to contribute to the theory and practice of Process Systems
Engineering.
The PSE Asia series is a biennial international symposium in Asia bringing
together researchers and practitioners to discuss recent developments in ProcessSystems Engineering. The areas of focus include, but are not limited to, Process andProduct Design, Process Dynamics and Control, Process Integration and Optimization,
Process Monitoring and Safety, Process Modeling and Simulation, Energy Systems
Analysis, Artificial Intelligence and Big Data in Chemical Engineering, and otheremerging issues. To encourage young researchers in the Asia area, each country canrecommend one keynote speaker to share his/her excellent research results and future
research planning. PSE Asia 2020 is the ninth symposium following previous events
at Kyoto (2000), Taipei (2002), Seoul (2005), Xi’an (2007), Singapore (2010), Kuala
Lumpur (2013), Tokyo (2016), and Bangkok (January 2019). In 2016, the Standing
Committee made a decision that starting from 2016, the PSE Asia Symposium will
be held biennially. So the 10th PSE Asia and the 11th PSE Asia will be held in
2022 and 2024, respectively.
The 9th PSE Asia 2020 was converted into an asynchronous webinar due to theCOVID-19 pandemic. However, we were determined to hold the symposium according
to the original time schedule. We therefore established an asynchronous webinar system,
canceled the poster session, and asked all presenters to upload presentation video(s).
During the asynchronous webinar conference period (10:00 4th Nov – 17:00 6th Nov,Taipei time), all registered participants can go to the website and “attend” all sessions
and watch all video presentations at any time. They can accelerate, playback, skip ahead

or repeat any part of any presentation. However, downloading or capturing of videos
will be prohibited. Viewers can leave questions that presenters can answer immediatelyor later. The webinar server will periodically (say, at 9:00, 12:00, 15:00, 18:00, and21:00) send an e-mail listing the number of questions asked for each presentation as areminder to each presenter to answer questions posted about their presentations. Thequeries and answers will be open to all participants, but viewers may have to wait for a
reply from the presenters. In this way, we hope the frequency and quality of discussion
will be better than at conventional meetings. We also hope you will enjoy your visit andinteraction with the 9th PSE Asia 2020 asynchronous webinar system.
Your participation and support will be the key to a successful conference. I would
like to express my deep appreciation to all contributors and participants. Thank youvery much.
Sincerely Yours

Cheng-Liang Chen, General Chair
