The FOPAM conference abstract submission deadline has been extended to May 22, 2019, incorporating a newly awarded NSF sponsorship of registrations for junior faculty, postdocs, and graduate students. Foundations Of Process Analytics and Machine learning (FOPAM) http://fopam.org is a new CACHE-sponsored conference series that aims to be the premier forum for researchers from industry and academia to discuss the current status and future directions of data analytics and machine learning in the process industries. The first FOPAM conference will take place August 6–9, 2019 in Raleigh, North Carolina. Using a Gordon Conference-like format, the conference features an exciting program of invited speakers on wideranging topics that include

An optional workshop on “Process Data Analytics and Machine Learning”, to be held on the two days before the conference, covers the major classes of methods as well as industrial case studies. Please see the FOPAM website http://fopam.org for a detailed workshop agenda. Extended abstracts accepted for the meeting will appear as poster presentations. All attendees presenting posters will have the opportunity to submit a full paper to a special issue of Computers & Chemical Engineering (Elsevier). Junior faculty, postdocs, and graduate students may apply through Phil.Westmoreland@ncsu.edu for free registration. Please supply a <2-page CV and a statement of objectives for your FOPAM participation. Awardees are expected to submit a poster about their FOPAM-relevant activities, so submit your application by May 22.
