A specific field where this development is more urgent is control, as the control and the 'network science' communities have put in common their rich theoretical knowledge only to a very little extent. The Satellite Meeting will be a forum for discussing recent advances in the study of network analysis and control. The workshop is intended to be fully interdisciplinary, and bring together both theoretical studies and applications to any field of science and engineering. Particular attention will be devoted to the following topics: * Control and identification of complex networks * Consensus and synchronization on networks * Methods of dynamical systems and control theory applied to network analysis * Methods of network analysis applied to control problems * Networked control systems * Robustness of uncertain networked systems The Satellite Meeting will be hosted by ECCS'14 and will be co-located with the main conference at IMT Institute for Advanced Studies, Lucca. INVITED SPEAKERS (confirmed) Takaaki Aoki, Kagawa University Yang-Yu Liu, Harvard University Alberto Bemporad, IMT Institute for Advanced Studies, Lucca Roberto Tempo, CNR-IEIIT, Politecnico di Torino CALL FOR ABSTRACTS Researchers interested in giving a contributed talk (15min) are required to submit a one-page proposal including title, authors (with affiliation), and abstract of their contribution. The submission deadline is June 15. The notification of acceptance will be communicated within July 1.

CMwM2015 is organized in memory of Professor Krzysztof Wilmanski who regrettably passed away on 26 August 2012. Paying tribute to this outstanding scientist we would like to continue the main ideas of the first conference which was held in 2010 in Zielona Gora: enriching and extending classical continuum models by various aspects. Thus, contributions are welcome on theoretical and computational aspects of problems related to the conference title and similar issues, including: - thermodynamic and mathematical modelling with extensions of classical constitutive laws - single and multicomponent media including modern multifunctional materials - linear and nonlinear wave propagation - multiscale and multiphysics processes - phase transformations - porous, granular and composite materials. Detailed information is available at the conference web site http://www.cmwm.put.poznan.pl/ ------ Subject: Graduate Course in Delay Differential Equations From: Torsten Lindstrom Date: Tue, 13 May 2014 09:06:02 +0000 Graduate Course in Delay Differential Equations - GCiDDE at Linnaeus University, Campus Vaxjo, Sweden, October 6-10, 2014 The area of Delay Equations is rapidly expanding and allows currently application of many tools from the field of finite dimensional dynamical systems. The amount of advanced mathematics needed is larger but surprisingly many results can be used and generalized. This course contains a core mainly based on real and complex analysis but also topics that are based on functional analysis and closer to current research. The program is intense allowing participants from other countries to participate. A limited number of participants will be offered the possibility to give a short presentation (15min) of the projects they are working with and how they possibly might be related to delay differential equations. Priority will be given to participants that register early. There is no fee for the academic activities themselves. However, a registration fee that covers necessary administrative expenses and meals that facilitates keeping the intensive program in schedule is charged. Lecturers are Fabio Milner (Arizona State University, USA), Dr. Philippe Getto (Technische Universitat Dresden, Germany), and Dr. Sascha Trostorff, Technische Universitat Dresden, Germany.

The future postdoc will work jointly with at least two doctoral students in Wuerzburg. This is a joint project with the astrophysics dept. of the Heidelberg Institute of Theoretical Studies at Heidelberg University (Prof. Volker Springel). The applicant should have a PhD in applied mathematics or a related field. Please also see http://www.mathematik.uni-wuerzburg.de/~klingen/job_openings.html For inquiries and applications please contact klingen@mathematik.uni-wuerzburg.de. In the application please include CV, list of publications, names and contact information for 3 references, and a brief statement of research interests. We will accept applications until the position is filled. ------ Subject: Postdoc Position, Wave Modelling From: Dr Gregor Tanner Date: May 12, 2014 Marie Curie Fellow (Fixed-term for 18 months) at the University of Nottingham, School of Mathematical Sciences Reference: SCI1371 http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/jobs/currentvacancies/ref/SCI1371 Closing Date: Tuesday, 10th June 2014 Salary: From GBP 47,742 per annum, in accordance with EC Marie Curie financial guidelines. Applications are invited to work with Drs Gregor Tanner and Stephen Creagh on the EU project Mid-to-High Frequency Modelling of Vehicle Noise and Vibration (MHiVec).MHiVec is a collaborative project between the University of Nottingham, Nottingham Trent University, the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research at the University of Southampton, inuTech GmbH, CDH AG, and Jaguar Land Rover.The fellow will therefore be expected to collaborate with both academic and industrial partners on the project. The researcher will work on new modelling tools for describing the flow of vibrational energy through complex built-up structures at high frequencies(using the Discrete Flow Mapping (DFM) approach).the fellow will be responsible for the numerical implementation of the algorithms in a multi-developer software environment. The candidates will be expected to have a PhD in a relevant discipline (applied mathematics, physics or engineering).
