Call for papers:

Workshop “Math for the Digital Factory”

7 – 9 May, 2014

Organizers:

M. Gerdts (München), D. Hoemberg, V. Mehrmann, M. Skutella (TU Berlin)



The workshop is the kick-off meeting of the new ECMI Special Interest Group (SIG) on Digital Factories. SIGs serve as a platform of scientific exchange between researchers from academia and industry and form the central part of ECMI’s research activities in industrial mathematics.

The workshop aims at bringing together mathematicians working on modelling, 
simulation, and optimization with researchers and practitioners from manufacturing 
industry to develop a holistic mathematical view on digital manufacturing.

Topics of discussion include, but are not limited to
--	multibody and PDE systems of production processes
--	discrete and continuous models of production planning
--	multi-scale models of manufacturing chains 
--	models for energy consumption of machine tools and more complex production 
systems
--	optimization strategies of energy and material efficient production

The workshop consists of a combination of plenary and contributed talks, accompanied by 
round table discussions. In addition, we plan a session with representatives of the 
MANUFUTURE technology platform and the EU Industrial Technologies Programme (NMP) 
about funding opportunities within Horizon 2020.

We welcome academics and practitioners to participate in this workshop and to submit an 
abstract for a presentation on any aspect related to digital manufacturing. Please note that 
the number of participants is limited. We kindly ask you to register at your earliest 
convenience, but not later than 13 April, 2014.

A web form for registration and abstract submission as well as further information on the 
workshop can be found at www.wias-berlin.de/workshops/MaDiFa/

It is forseen that a certain number of participants can be financially supported. Please see 
the registration form. Final decision on financial support will be communicated at latest 
on April 15, 2014.

The workshop takes place at the Weierstrass Institute in Berlin. It is located at the subway 
station "Hausvogteiplatz", which is in the heart of Berlin, close to the historic 
Gendarmenmarkt.

Looking forward to seeing you in Berlin,

Matthias Gerdts, Dietmar Hoemberg, Volker Mehrmann, Martin Skutella
