Dear Mr Okfalisa,

We apologise for the delay in responding to your query - the whole I*PROMS Central Coordination Team has been unusually busy lately.

The proceedings are being assembled and should be ready by the end of this year.

Please keep visiting this website for the latest news of the exact date of publication.

Best wishes.

The 20 IPROMS 2007 "champions" in terms of participant numbers so far are:

1. United Kingdom
2. United States
3. India
4. Italy
5. Malaysia
6. Germany
7. Spain
8. China
9. France

12. Portugal
13. Canada
14. Australia
15. South Korea

19. Bulgaria
20. Pakistan

Thus, the champions have remained the same as when the statistics were compiled on 27 August, although some positions have changed.

Finland's position is again No 21!

However, if population size is taken into account, Finland will clearly be among the very top IPROMS 2007 champions.

The number of IPROMS 'heroes' has increased to 109.

Here are the top 20 among the 109 heroes to date!

1. United Kingdom
2. United States
3. India
4. Italy
5. Malaysia
6. Germany
7. Spain
8. France
9. China
10. Greece
11. Turkey
12. Portugal
13. Ireland
14. Canada
15. Australia
16. South Korea
17. Iran
18. Egypt
19. Bulgaria
20. Pakistan

Finland has twice missed being among the top 20 by a whisker!

You can help your country to become a 'hero' by asking your family, friends, neighbours (and their families, friends and neighbours, etc.) to visit this website and, hopefully, post relevant contributions also!

Something fishy is going on.

There has been a remarkable lack of visitors to this website over the past couple of days.

Has Old Av been up to his old tricks, such as "improving" the website (i.e. making a perfectly working site stop working)?

We must get his twin brother Eld Av to speak to him!

PS: Click here to read about the Av brothers.

Visitors to this website might be interested in the following tutorials given by Dr Michael Packianather, our Manufacturing Engineering Centre's Director of Postgraduate Research Studies:

The tutorials can be accessed by clicking here.

We are planning to add tutorials on the Ant Algorithm, the Particle Swarm Optimisation Algorithm and ... you have guessed it ... our very own Bees Algorithm!

The Conference is now officially closed, but informally it will go on - until the next Conference in fact.

Thank you for your interest in and contribution to IPROMS 2007.

We look forward to your participation in IPROMS 2008 next year!
