The papers in this issue of Chemical Product and Process Modelling are substantially those that arose from special sessions on ``process simulation and control" (organised by Brent R. Young) and ``mathematical modeling" (organised by Mark I. Nelson) at the 34th Australasian Chemical Engineering Conference (held between 17-20th September 2006, in Auckland, New Zealand). The papers in this special issue are available at: http://www.bepress.com/cppm/vol2/iss2. The papers featured in this issue have been revised and extended from CHEMECA and re-reviewed before publication here.All the papers in this issue use mathematics. However, this special issue only features a small number of the presentations at CHEMECA that use mathematics. Mathematics finds many practical applications within chemical engineering and consequently presentations involving mathematics were featured in many special sessions throughout CHEMECA. Some of these presentations will appear in special issues elsewhere. In particular, the papers from every session that were nominated for the John Brodie award are appearing in a special issue of the Asian-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering.

The 8th World Congress of Chemical Engineering (WCCE 8) Symposium on Process Design, held on August 23-27, 2009 in Montreal, Canada, offered a unique opportunity to focus on a comprehensive participation and learning experience over the full range and diversity of methods in the broad fields of process modeling and their use for design, simulation, optimization and control of chemical processes. The major themes of the symposium are categorized into the following themes of the congress:• Energy • Green Processing • New Materials • BiotechnologyAuthors of selected papers accepted for presentation in the Process Design symposium were invited to submit the full papers to be considered for publication in the journal of Chemical Product and Process Modeling (http://www.bepress.com/cppm). The papers that successfully passed the reviewing process of the journal are now published in the WCCE8 special issue of the journal.

The 10th International Chemical and Biological Engineering Conference - CHEMPOR 2008, was held in Braga, Portugal, from the 4th to the 6th of September, 2008. The conference was jointly organized by the University of Minho, the “Ordem dos Engenheiros,” and the Institute for Biotechnology and Bioengineeing, with the support of “Sociedade Portuguesa de Química” and “Sociedade Portuguesa de Biotecnologia”.The CHEMPOR series traditionally brings together both young and established researchers and end users to discuss recent developments in different areas of Chemical Engineering. The scope of this edition was extended to Biological Engineering research. One of the major core areas of the conference program was life quality, due to the importance that Chemical and Biological Engineering plays in this area. “Integration of Life Sciences & Engineering” and “Sustainable Process-Product Development through Green Chemistry” were two of the leading themes with papers addressing such important issues. This was complemented with additional leading themes including “Advancing the Chemical and Biological Engineering Fundamentals,” “Multi-Scale and/or Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Process-Product Innovation”, “Systematic Methods and Tools for Managing the Complexity”, and “Educating Chemical and Biological Engineers for Coming Challenges.” Papers contributed for this special issue represent a good sample of the important themes that were addressed.This special issue presents a set of fifteen selected research papers, which have undergone the peer-review process of Chemical Product and Process Modeling journal. We wish to thank the authors who have contributed to yield a high scientific standard to this special issue. We also extend our gratefulness to all reviewers, through their dedicated efforts, having assisted us in this task.

This special issue collects papers based on the interplay between modeling and control. These features are combined into various aspects for exploiting the potential of physical and mathematical modeling while assessing the practices to attack fundamental issues of control theory, getting a deeper understanding of the related phenomena, and finding useful applications by establishing a common framework to deal with vastly different expressions of modeling and control of industrial processes.
