Please check the Preliminary Program for SI 2000 for updates on the meeting as well as speaker bios, titles, topics, etc. Embodied in the concept of the sensor as effector is the idea that the results of the measurement will cause a response. Computer tools linked closely to experimentation as well as advanced data handling techniques tied to modeling, monitoring and control will be an integral part of this model. The workshop will explore the needs of 'end-users' and provide valuable feedback to the instrument companies who will commercialize future technology as well as stressing multidisciplinary problem solving and its impact on process control. The role of automation and chemometric technologies for data extraction and information maximization will also be explored.
Enrollment is open to all industries and organizations.
The two and one-half day schedule ends by noon on Friday. Morning lectures serve as the basis for afternoon open discussions with a futuristic outlook toward the technology presented. The final morning will summarize the two technical areas and meld the conclusions into a broader look at the future of Process Analytical Chemistry. The campus is located in Seattle, between Lake Washington and Lake Union. The UW is 15 minutes from downtown Seattle and 45 minutes from the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
