CAPE systems are to be put in the hands of end users who need functionality and assistance beyond the core scientific and technological capacities of the systems. User-friendliness, online or web-based advice, decision support, knowledge management and organisational issues are important points that must be taken into account when deploying a CAPE system. These issues will be addressed in a special track and industrial case studies illustrating CAPE methods and tools are encouraged. The other six main topics cover the usual scope of ESCAPE 18 conferences, from off-line design to on-line systems, including numerical and computational methods, integrated and multiscale modelling, societal aspects, and CAPE education.

    Floudas – Memorial (October 9Th, 2016)

    Professor Christodoulos A. Floudas – Memorial (October 9th, 2016) Professor Christodoulos Floudas left us for a Final Trip on that sunny afternoon of August 14th – Yes, most of us, we are still waiting … For his car to arrive, for a phone call, for him to appear from the corner … With his big smile, his elegant walk, his spontaneous & intelligent sense of humour and small-talk…. Chris was born in Ioannina, in the north-west mountainous part of Greece called Epirus; He moved to the city of Thessaloniki, the capital of Greek Macedonia, where he earned his first degree in 1982 in chemical engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. One thing that not many people know is that - at his early years, he was also a very talented footballer, I mean soccer player – but eventually chose what I would call a more ‘scientific path’. What would have been the equivalent of ‘global optimization’ in the world of soccer? During his undergraduate years in Thessaloniki he met his ‘future’ wife Fotini. Interesting to note here that Fotini - after she met Chris – she decided to study chemistry. Part of the old story & debate between chemists and chemical engineers, I guess. In the summer of 1981, he came here to the US – he completed his PhD in 1985 at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and in early 1986 [I remember it was a very cold and snowy January day] he joined Princeton University as a young assistant professor, promoted to Associate Professor in 1991 and to Professor in 1994 – where he became the Stephen C.
