WWTmod 2008 Mont-Sainte-Anne, Quebec, Canada The Activated Sludge Model No. 1 (ASM1) was presented two decades ago at the first modelling seminar in Kollekolle (Denmark) followed by a long series of similar events. These meetings have played a seminal role in the wastewater engineering profession. Based upon the foundations developed in the ASMs, whole plant modelling has found its way into daily process engineering practice and is used for plant design, capacity rating, process optimization, research, training, and development of control concepts. A number of extensions, new model concepts, and calibration approaches have been developed in the last decades by different research groups and companies. The main objective of the conference is bringing together these different 'schools' and approaches with the aim of consensus building and clarification of differences on topics where discussion has matured. The process of consensus building is supported by inviting targeted people from research, consulting companies, equipment suppliers and wastewater treatment plants. The widespread use of wastewater treatment models depends on the development of widely accepted standards and procedures. The organizers hope this conference will contribute to the further development of 'Good Modelling Practice' in this field.
