First International Workshop on Mathematical and Computing Techniques for Agro-food Technologies

November 26-27, 2001

Barcelona, Spain

Email: foodwrsh@cimne.upc.es

Description:
The main aim of AfoT Workshop is to provide an introduction into the most important issues of the mathematical and computing techniques involving food technologies. These areas should contain all the conventional computer simulation techniques (distributed process systems, including e.g. thermal processing with possible heat generation from e.g. electromagnetic analysis, prototyping) as well as signal processing studies (filtering, optimisation), mathematical modelling or parameterisation. The workshop is one of the activities of the MACSI-Net network to impulse unified mathematical and computing techniques involving food scientists, engineers and industrial people, as well as to encourage new cooperations at international level between companies and research institutions.

WORKSHOP TOPICS

The programme will consist of keynote and invited lectures delivered by relevant scientist on the field. Programme will cover the following topics:

Modelling and Simulation of Unit Operations and Process Plants (discrete/continuous systems, distributed process systems, transport phenomena, associated unit operations, sensors, equipment prototyping) Food Process Optimisation, Scheduling and Control Food Properties Measurements and Quality Control Simulation of Complex Processes (e.g. those requiring computational fluid dynamics, CFD)
