Abstract
The abbreviated impactor measurement (AIM) and efficient data analysis (EDA) concepts have both been presented in detail in previous chapters of this book, based on the knowledge acquired by the middle of 2012. It is recognized that both issues have attracted much interest from stakeholders involved with the in vitro testing of OIPs, and so the likelihood of further significant developments in the next few years is very strong. This chapter therefore starts by looking at questions that were raised at a special symposium in the spring of 2011, at which representatives from industry, academia, compendial committees, and regulatory agencies had the opportunity to air their views on these topics, with some speculation on likely future developments. The remainder of the chapter considers some ideas about further use of both AIM and EDA concepts.
