Power producers have a variety of assets and data that must be measured,
accessed and intelligently analyzed to improve decision making necessary for
today's competitive environment. Ideally, business and technical decisions
are based on factors from the global, regional, and local domain.
Realistically however, enabling power producers to cost-effectively
integrate and utilize all the potential data to manage their business
intelligently will not be easy.  It will require a disciplined focus on both
the capabilities of the technology and perhaps more importantly on the
challenges of processing and presenting data for human decision makers. 

To meet today's challenges, smart instrumentation and hybrid controls must
provide greater operational flexibility to meet changing business needs.
Further integration of business systems, asset optimization systems and
object-oriented systems must provide real-time information to make it
humanly possible to absorb and use, without suffering the perils of
"information overload". Advanced control and instrument technology must
provide improved means to measure, automate and/or control the process.
Collaboration must improve supply chain, development, and information
exchange to achieve marketing goals. This conference program covers the
spectrum of technical and business topics related to instrumentation,
controls and networks to satisfy business intelligence needs of power
producers.
