Following from part I, which presents a retrospective on optimization, we focus here on areas that are recent active research topics and are likely to strongly influence the futur...
In this paper we provide a general classification of mathematical optimization problems, followed by a matrix of applications that shows the areas in which these problems have bee...
A method for environmental performance assessment is presented in this paper. The proposed method considers the procedure for environmental performance comparison of design altern...
The potential benefits of applying reactive distillation (RD) processes are taxed by significant complexities in process development and design. The design problem is formulated i...
