Welcome to the Computing & Systems Technology Division (CAST) community site!
The Computing and Systems Technology (CAST) Division is responsible for the wide range of activities within AIChE that involve the application of computers and mathematics to chemical engineering problems including process design, process control, operations, and applied mathematics. We arrange technical sessions at AIChE Meetings, organize special conferences, and publish the newsletter - CAST Communications - twice a year. These activities enable our members to keep abreast of the rapidly changing fields of computers and system technology.
