The IOPT Project (Introduction of Process Technology) is a DTI sponsored
collaborative project between ICL, Praxis, ISS and Manchester University.
Its main goal is to develop and apply computer support for cooperative work
in diverse industrial and government sectors, using process modelling and
other forms of Process Technology.  It also aims to enhance process
modelling languages and methods.

The IOPT Club was set up to help achieve the project's main goal by
widening industry understanding of Process Technology and its application.
It is intended that, through the club, members and IOPT partners will work
together in applying Process Technology to diverse markets.

The IOPT Club also produces a free newsletter, IOPener.  If you wish to be
placed on the mailing list for this and other information about Club
events, please contact Tim Huckvale at the above address.
