The DYCOPS 2007 Symposium will bring together scientists and engineers from universities, R & D laboratories, vendor companies and the process industries to focus attention on new methodologies and challenging applications within Process Systems Engineering in the light of industrial contexts and trends. Contributions aiming to reduce the gap between theory and practice will be encouraged. The DYCOPS 2007 Symposium will be held on June 6-8, 2007 in Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico.

Organized under the auspices of the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC), the DYCOPS Symposia are a continuing series of international conferences held most recently in Boston (2004) and Korea (2001). These meetings focus on advances in methods for control and modeling for all types of chemical processes and are part of a three-year rotation of IFAC meetings in process control, which also include the IFAC ADCHEM series.

In 2007, the DYCOPS 2007 symposium will be organized in coordination with the CAB 2007 (Computer Applications in Biotechnology) IFAC symposium, that will be held also in Cancun, on June 4-6, in the same facilities.

The idea is to enable interaction between the chemical and biotechnology process systems engineering communities.
