Advances in Optimization II Conference: AIChE Annual MeetingYear: 2015Proceeding: 2015 AIChE Annual MeetingGroup: Computing and Systems Technology Division Type: Oral Room: Salon F Location: Salt Lake Marriott Downtown at City Creek Time: Wednesday, November 11, 2015 - 12:30pm-3:00pm Chair(s):Zavala, V. M., Argonne National Laboratory Co-chair(s):Hasan, F., Texas A&M University Optimization methods algorithms form the core tools for process operations and process systems engineering in general. The session invites papers in the general area of Process Systems Optimization. Topics on theory, algorithms and software for all classes of optimization problems are considered. Application papers offering insights into the interplay between optimization theory and practice are also encouraged.
