Future Directions for the AIM
and EDA Concepts
Terrence P. Tougas and Jolyon P. Mitchell
Abstract The abbreviated impactor measurement (AIM) and effi cient data analysis
(EDA) concepts have both been presented in detail in previous chapters of this
topic, 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 signifi cant 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.
