The Symposium is meant to bring researchers together and to stimulate 
interdisciplinary research. Hence, also reports on work in progress and 
presentation of challenges and obstacles are explicitely encouraged. The 
symposium will be structured similar to meetings at Mathematisches 
Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach. Participation is subject to an invitation 
by the organizers. However, researchers and practitioners (in particular 
young scientists) can apply for one of the very few open places. Details
