Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM) Mini Course 7th Workshop on the Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM) Modelling Complex Socio-Technical Systems 11 - 13 September 2013, Munich, Germany Call for participation Following the tradition started in 2007, the seventh FRAMily workshop will take place on September 11-13, 2013. The meeting will be hosted by the Technische Universität München (http://www.tum.de/en/homepage/) and will take place at the campus in Garching. Objectives of the workshop The purpose of this workshop is to share experiences from the use of the FRAM, to solve problems, to discuss the continued development of the method, and to identify opportunities for improvements. • Discuss and exchange experiences on the use of the FRAM for modeling and analysing socio-technical systems • Receive support on your FRAM applications and industry projects • Learn about the latest developments and applications of the FRAM • How to use the FRAM for retrospective use (event analysis) • How to use the FRAM for prospective use (safety and risk assessments) • How to use the FRAM as a general modeling tool This workshop will feature two special sessions: . A tutorial for participants who have limited experience in using the FRAM. This will take place on the first day, and provide an understanding of the fundamentals, sufficient to benefit from the following sessions. (NB: This is NOT a FRAM course as such.) . A special session on the last day which reports on a three year collaboration on using the FRAM in Air Traffic Management. Audience The workshop is open to everyone regardless of their level of experience with FRAM. You are welcome to join us regardless of your level of experience with the FRAM - whether you consider yourself as a novice or an expert. The workshop will be of interest to people involved in accident investigation, risk analysis, safety management, and design in different industries as well as academia. Page 1 of 5 Workshop format The workshop will have an informal character in order to stimulate discussion. The programme will include: • Short presentations of participants’ cases and experiences (based on optional papers) • Discussion of specific FRAM issues or ideas based on participants’ experience (participants are encouraged to send discussion topics beforehand) • Future developments necessary/planned, such as software support for FRAM Topics, Presentations, Pre-proceedings There will be an opportunity for participants to suggest discussion topics and make short presentations. In order to support more in-depth discussions of FRAM ideas, issues, studies, or any other work that participants want to share, participants are encouraged to send in papers to the organizers. Discussion topics, presentation outlines, and papers may range from ideas or issues to descriptions of planned and on-going work, to discussions of cases or other studies. Submitted information will be made available to all participants as downloadable pre-proceedings so that participants can read them beforehand.

  • Press Release
    Press Release Garching, March 31, 2010 Neutron Research in Garching is Further Consolidated Astrophysical Experiments with Cold and Ultracold Neutrons The DFG Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation) intensifies its commitment to neutron research, which is already well represented in Garching: Within the framework of the priority program "Precision Experiments in Particle and Astrophysics with Cold and Ultracold Neutrons," scientists of the Excellence Cluster Universe at Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM) recently procured funding in the amount of 3.72 million euros. This DFG program was founded in 2009 and is based in Munich and Vienna. The scientific experiments are to be performed at the research neutron sources in Munich (FRM II), Switzerland (PSI, Villigen) and France (ILL, Grenoble). One focus of the priority program is on experiments aimed at providing evidence of an electric dipole moment (EDM) of a neutron. This is a key experiment to the understanding of fundamental symmetries (CP symmetry) and matter/anti-matter asymmetry in the Universe. In addition to the TUM chair E18 of Professor Stephan Paul, the junior research group of Professor Peter Fierlinger of the Universe Cluster is also participating in the experiment. This group is currently working on the construction of a magnetically shielded room for high- precision measurements. Inside magnetic fields in the femto-Tesla range will be stabilized. The experiment should thus be capable of measuring tiny deviations in the movement of a neutron in the magnetic field, just as they would be caused by a possible electric dipole moment. A precursor experiment for the measurement of the dipole moment is currently being realized within the framework of an international collaboration at PSI (Switzerland).

    Introduction 1 Master thesis Nr. 0061 Makerspaces in the university community Julian WEINMANN 2 Introduction INSTITUTE OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT Technische Universität München o. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Udo Lindemann Master thesis of Mr./Mrs.: Julian Weinmann Matriculation-No.: 03605843 Titel (deutsch): Makerspaces im universitären Umfeld. Title (english): Makerspaces in the university community. Motivation: Makerspaces are open workspaces, which offer a variety of tools and machines, supervision and classes to their users. Users work side by side on different projects within an open culture of collaboration. Makerspaces empower their users to develop, build and test physical prototypes hands-on. Prototyping is a key process of product development, especially in technology driven industries and research. A prototype serves as a milestone and can be used in various stages of the development process to improve communication and learning within a group or organization. It is also an important part of project-centered education and relevant for engineering education. Engineering education in universities is traditionally focusing on the theory and students have little opportunities of creating physical prototypes hands-on inside the university. Many universities have recognized the value of makerspaces and introduced them into the university community. Makerspaces in universities and their implementation differ, depending on the individual university and the purpose they have within the university community. There are many benefits about giving a large portion of the student body access to: they include an increased student motivation, enhancement of learning through a hands-on approach and the promotion of interdisciplinary teamwork. At TUM there are efforts of different departments and organizations to introduce more project-centered classes to the engineering curriculum and allow students to work in a hands- on manner.

  • BERTI: a New EU Marie Curie Initial Training Network
    BERTI: a new EU Marie Curie Initial Training Network EU supports young scientists at TUM International Exchange with 15 partners from Academia and Industry Press Release Munich, July 18th, 2013 – the Marie Curie Initial Training Network BERTI: Biomedical Imaging & Informatics - European Research and Training Initiative announces the start of a new research programme on Biomedical Imaging & Informatics, which will be coordinated by Prof. Dr. Alois Knoll (TUM; Technische Universität München, Munich/Germany). BERTI is a multi-partner Initial Training Network under the European Union programme FP7-PEOPLE-2013-ITN with a total budget of 3 Mio Euro. The four-year programme aims at providing state-of-the-art research training to 14 PhD candidates at the interface of natural sciences, informatics, engineering and medicine. Marie Curie Initial Training Networks are highly prestigious awards funded by the European Union Seventh Framework Programme, focused on the training of the next generation of European leading experts in science to solve interdiscipli- nary questions of global concern and to increase the European competitiveness in research and development. Current research in Biomedical Imaging & Informatics is driven by the interaction of natural sciences, informatics, engi- neering and medicine. Education and training of young scientists is, however, often still centered within only one of these domains, resulting in researchers often acquiring neither the necessary knowledge of clinical needs, nor a sufficient un- derstanding of disciplines beyond Biomedical Imaging & Informatics. Furthermore, young scientists working in Biomedical Imaging & Informatics still face a ‘cultural gap’ between natural sciences, informatics and engineering. Natural sciences achieve innovation by basic research; informatics and engineering approach this through technological applications.
