Variational Multiscale and Stabilized Finite Elements (VMS)
27 - 29 June 2012, Kiel, CAU

We would like to welcome you to this year’s Scientific Computing
Seminar on “Variational Multi-scale and Stabilized Finite Elements
(VMS)”, a plat¬form for pre¬sen¬ting and discussing state-of-the-art
developments on VMS methods with stabilized finite elements.

The numerical simulation of flow problems is a typical multiscale
pro¬blem. The approach named 'Variational Multiscale Method' (VMS)
des¬cribes a powerful tool for computational mechanics dealing with
large ranges of scales. Originally in¬ten¬ded to provide a new
framework for turbulence modelling, VMS methods have re¬¬cently been
used to come up with several new finite element sta¬¬bi¬¬lization
techniques.

TACPS 2012 will be the most comprehensive workshop focused on advances
in technologies and applications for cyber physical system. Cyber
Physical System (CPS) is not a new field, but a new type of system
which is reflected physical characteristics to embedded system and
emphasized importance of controlling between systems are connected
each other through network. Components of CPS, e.g. controller,
sensor, actuator, and etc. should transmit the information to cyber
space through sensing the environment of real world in real-time, and
also they should reflect policy of cyber space to real world in
real-time. Therefore, many components of CPS should be available to
communicate each other. In addition, CPS consists of controller,
sensor, and actuator could reflect the information of cyber space to
real world through monitoring a variety of information and controlling
actuator in real-time. So, high reliability technology and application
are needed for accurate real-time control in CPS, and data encryption
is needed for confidentiality and integrity of data which is
transmitted over the network. TACPS 2012 will provide an opportunity
for academic and industry professionals to discuss the latest issues
and progress in the area of CPS. In addition, the workshop will
publish high quality papers which are closely related to the various
theories and practical applications in CPS.

Project description:
The 'Motion perception in vehicle simulation' research group is
leading a project that aims at developing a perception-based motion
drive algorithm to improve the fidelity of perceived motion rendering
on flight/driving simulators. The Max Planck Institute for Biological
Cybernetics has many years of experience in describing human
perception of self-motion in mathematical models. We are looking for
Mathematical brainpower to invert these non-linear, hi-dimensional
models for a control system in order to create real-time motion drive
algorithms.

Throughout the project the development of the motion drive algorithms
will be validated on state-of-the-art motion simulators at the
institute. For an impression on the facilities you will be working
with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OucvUW9y6I

Motion perception in vehicle simulation is complex, as it extends
across a number of working fields. Therefore you will be working
alongside people from various backgrounds, including: Aerospace and
Biomedical engineering, Biology, Computer science, Neurobiolology,
Psychology, Robotics.

Please provide us with your background, your research interests and
