SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM

Goals

The CHISA Congress with all its topics and specialised symposia supports the concept of sustainable development – a concept aimed at the future of mankind. Convinced that chemical engineering includes, masters and creates most of the tools that play a key role in realising this concept, chemical engineers try to find the specific and most effective ways to maximise this effort. This striving includes formulation of new targets of individual branches of chemical engineering science and practice, developing new methods for achieving them, dissemination of relevant information among specialists from Europe and the whole world and supporting young engineers in entering and understanding the profession.

 

Congress structure

The Congress is structured as follows:

• General topics of chemical and process engineering
• Specialised symposia
• PRES 2012– 15th Conference on process integration, modelling and optimisation for energy saving and pollution reduction

Lecture and poster sessions

Ten parallel lecture sections will take place at 8:30–12:40 h. and 14:00–18:00 h. based on 20 minutes rigid schedules. For keynote lectures 40 minutes are reserved. Poster sessions will take place the whole day from 9 to 17 h. However, authors must attend their posters during the coffee/poster breaks: 10:30–11:00 h. and 15:20–16:20 h.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS

Procedia publications

Publication in Procedia is an option for the authors who wish to exploit this possibility; it can recommended but it is not obligatory. Papers accepted for CHISA Congress (i.e. excluding those for the PRES conference) can be published in a special issue of the electronic journal Procedia, which will be permanently displayed on the Elsevier website. Subsequently, such contributions will be recorded in both the Web of Science and the Scopus data bases. Manuscript must be submitted before 30 April 2012 in the formal appearance as required by the Elsevier. The rules must be observed very carefully otherwise the text will not be accepted. A template (as Word document) for preparation of the manuscript can be downloaded here. The signed and scanned first page of the Copyright Form must be submitted together with manuscript. The Procedia will be published shortly after the Congress (expected: September). Such a new feature will not influence the publication policy of CHISA Congresses.

PRES publications

The full texts of selected PRES contributions will be published in Chemical Engineering Transactions, covered by Scopus and Web of Science (ISI). Special issues of journals Applied Thermal Engineering (UK), Heat Transfer Engineering (US), Journal of Cleaner Production General (US), Resources, Conservation and Recycling Journal (US), Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy (US) will be also published. PRES 2012 Chemical Engineering Transactions – 2 volumes, publication with full coverage of Scopus (article status) and Thomson Reuters Science Citation Index Expand. You can order this publication using your registration form; price for both volumes is 40 EUR. The author instructions, embedded in a completely functioning template document, can be downloaded directly from www.conferencepres.com/Docs/Full-paper-template.doc. The authors are encouraged to download the document and type their manuscript inside. It is important to follow the instructions closely using the required prefefined styles.

Final summary and full text

The final summary and full text have to be written in English and are requested from authors of all contributions (lectures and posters). Both the final summary and full text should be prepared according to the Instructions for authors, which can be found here.

Please follow all instructions very carefully. Regrettably, many of the preliminary summaries have not complied with these instructions, therefore they had to be reedited. However, the Editors have no responsibility for possible changes ensuing from such reformatting. In case you wish to modify anything later, please DOWNLOAD AT FIRST your summary from the website, because here is accessible the version already edited. In this way we shall avoid repeatedly re-formatting the abstract in order to be compatible with the rules. Then, you can modify it and submit: for submission please access your user pages, in the menu select button “Inspecting submitted papers” and upload the final summary. Resubmission will automatically notify the administrator of database about some change. This is also the easiest way how to announce correction of the title, authors, affiliations, etc. It is valid what is in summary. The final summary must be received before 31 May 2012, however only in the case if it is different from the preliminary one. The full text should also be uploaded via user pages in a similar manner. Please observe kindly the instructions. The deadline for submission of the full text is 31 May 2012.

In case of difficulties contact paper@chisa.cz. In all correspondence please always refer to the serial number assigned to your contribution. In July, every author will receive an e-mail confirming location and timing of his paper in the Final Program.

Publication policy

Participants will receive Congress full texts on a CD-ROM. Printed abstracts will not be published. Authors are free to publish their papers at will after the Congress.

Poster presentation

The majority of papers will be presented as posters and thus they are a very important part of the Congress program.

Scope. Try to arrange your poster in such a way to provide a clear comprehensible image of your work at first sight even for those participants who are not conversant in your special field of interest. Give preference to diagrams, pictures and charts. The text should be very concise and accentuate the particular aim of your work, its importance, application, and the key formulas and symbols. Leave details to the discussion with interested people and to the full text.

Form. The size of the poster board is 130 cm (height) by 96 cm (width). The presenters will mark their posters with a heading, containing the title (size of letters 4 cm, at least), and the name(s) of author(s), affiliation, city and country (size of letters 2 cm). Letters under 1 cm are not suitable. Posting only a printout of the full text does not do credit to the sense and purpose of poster session.

Presentation. The presenters will arrange their posters at designated panels before the beginning of the poster session and remove them immediately after the closure of the session. The presenters must attend their posters during the coffee break from 15:20 to 16:20 h.

Lecture presentation

Since the oral sessions are based on rigid time schedules, a regular lecture including discussion can last no longer than 20 minutes. Forty minutes are reserved for keynote lectures only.

Data projectors. Lecture rooms will be equipped with dataprojector/PC and CD-ROM drives, and with PowerPoint software (version 2003). We are not adapted for Macintosh software. A PC for checking the PowerPoint presentation beforehand will be available in the Congress Reading Room. A connection to Internet will not be available in the lecture rooms.

Oral presentation. The lectures should be presented in English. Kindly use short sentences, a slower pace of delivery and clear and distinct pronunciation. This concerns specifically those presenters who speak in their mother tongue (i.e. English).
