Invitation

The organizers of CAC-2004 invite you to join us in Lisbon, Portugal for the Ninth Chemometrics in Analytical Chemistry Conference.

Following the tradition of the preceding CAC conferences, emphasis will be on new developments and applications of chemometrics in Biosciences, Chemistry, Chemical & Process Engineering, Food, Environmental and Pharmaceutical areas.

We hope to provide you with an interesting scientific program and to organize a conference that will stimulate the exchange and collaboration between chemometricians and practioneers (e.g., chemists, bio-scientists, engineers). Your active participation and contributions are highly appreciated. We also hope that you will enjoy the many attractions of Lisbon.

Chemometrics
The discipline of chemometrics was born in the eighties and can be defined as “the science of relating measurements made on a chemical system or process to the state of the system via application of mathematical or statistical methods and design or selection of optimal measurement procedures or experiments to provide maximum information content of collected data.”. Since then chemometrics truly became an enabling science for many scientific areas other than analytical and process analytical chemistry, most notably biological, pharmaceutical, chemical and process engineering areas, imaging and biomedical areas, food and environmental areas. Indeed it really is as pervasive today as its initial definition suggested.

Since 1978
CAC meetings were initiated by Prof G.Kateman, Dr. H.C. Smit and Prof. D.L. Massart at a time that chemometrics as a discipline was rapidly developing on both sides of the Atlantic. The first conference being organized in 1978 in Amsterdam by Dr. Smit and Prof. G. Kateman.  CAC meetings soon became the major international event in this area not only in terms of attendance but also in terms of scope for being able to accommodate new areas.

A Special Aura
CAC meetings are held every two years. CAC meetings are special and have a particular aura not only due to the usual attendance of most of the founding fathers of chemometrics, but because of two other factors. First, a balanced turn up of practioneers and scientists, industry and academic affiliates is achieved in all meetings as a direct result of the pervasive nature of chemometrics. Then, the conference lay out with a well-achieved balance between topical plenary lectures, oral lectures, time for questions, and plenty of time for discussions at the posters sessions, makes CAC meetings an ideal place for both young and senior attendees to meet and share their experiences and knowledge in chemometrics.

In 2004 the conference motto is New Challenges for a Maturing Science”. The perceived areas in which Chemometrics is a requirement and is likely to consolidate or make a big impact are:

1. Chemometrics in systems biology and “omic”-biosciences
2. In-silico chemometrics, miniaturized and high-throughput applications
3. Image analysis and biomedical in-vivo, non-invasive monitoring systems
4. Chemometrics in Safety and Societal Issues (food, environmental, bio-risk)
5. Process spectroscopy and in-process quality control (PAT)
6. Faster process development and product design
7. Process chemometrics, supervision and diagnosis
8. New or improved methods (mathematical or statistical) in sampling,
    data-analysis, monitoring, modelling, calibration, regulatory acceptance etc.
 



 



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 


Thematic sessions

CAC-2004’s motto is “New Challenges for a Maturing Science”. The perceived areas, in which chemometrics already is an enabling science or is likely to mature and help realizing significant breakthroughs, are the 8 thematic sessions of CAC -2004:

1. Chemometrics in systems biology and “omic”-biosciences

2. In-silico chemometrics, miniaturized and high-throughput applications

3. Image analysis and biomedical in-vivo, non-invasive monitoring systems

4. Chemometrics in Safety and Societal Issues (food, environmental, bio-risk)

5. Process spectroscopy and in-process quality control (PAT)

6. Faster process development and product design

7. Process chemometrics, supervision and diagnosis

8. New or improved methods (mathematical or statistical) in sampling,
    data-analysis, monitoring, modelling, calibration, regulatory acceptance etc.
