The Digital Olfaction Society (DOS) is regularly holding events more or less every two years. The first DOS event took place in Berlin, Germany and since then, a few more events have taken place, mostly in Tokio, Japan. This time, the conference will take place the days 3-4 of December 2018.
The 3rd World Congress of Digital Olfaction Society was hosted by the Tokyo Institute of Technology in 2016. This successful event is having a continuation this year. Distinguished researchers from all around the world are invited to present and share their views about the digital olfaction in different applications.
The last 19th and 20th of June, the Working Group 41 dealing with Instrumental Odour Monitoring met in Delft, the Netherlands for a couple of days of intensive discussions. One of the Task Groups (TG) dealing with the minimum requirements for instrumental odour monitoring, presented some interesting points discussed in a previous meeting in Düsseldorf, Germany.
The use of an appropriate operational management tool plays a fundamental role in establishing and defining the normal operational parameters during any process. If this process also entails a high potential for odor generation or specific gaseous compounds, either due to a specific process condition or deviations from the process, it becomes even more relevant as operational control management. Hence, a detailed knowledge of the processes and levels of odorant gases present must be evaluated based on reliability and accuracy.
