Welcome to the 6th International Conference on Simulation and Modelling in Food and
Bio Industries (FOODSIM'201 0), which is held in Braganga, Portugal from 24 to 26
June 2010.
The FOODSIM'201 0 brings together researchers, food experts and industrial users to
present the state-of-art simulation research in the food industry, new research results
and to exchange ideas and experiences about the modeling and simulation tools used
in the food industry.
The main theme of FOODSIM'201 0 is: "Simulation applied to food processes, quality,
safety, and sustainability", and the success of the conference is already assured, as
can be witnessed by the quality and scientific rigor of the 47 published papers. We
also take this opportunity to challenge the researchers attending the FOODSIM'201 0
to produce a seed for a FP? project to be submitted at the next call for proposals,
which is expected to open next July.
We present our recognition for the inestimable collaboration that we had in the
FOODSIM'201 0 organisation by Prof. Joana Amaral and Prof. Eisa Ramalhosa, and to
all the reviewers for their professional work in the papers evaluation. We also present
our recognition to all Institutions that contributed to prepare a pleasant social
programme for FOODSIM'201 0.
Finally, we wish you all a pleasant staying in Braganga and we are sure that you will
have the opportunity to be delighted by the Portuguese hospitality.
