Symmetries of Discrete Objects Conference and MAGMA Workshop (SOMO 2012)

Feb 13, 2012 - Feb 17, 2012,
Rydges Lakeland Resort Hotel, Queenstown,, Otago New Zealand

The conference will be a combination of:

a research conference on symmetries of discrete objects (such as graphs, maps/dessins, polytopes, Riemann surfaces and other complexes), and
a MAGMA workshop, including some instructional courses (well suited for graduate students) on the MAGMA package and its capabilities (especially for handling discrete structures and their automorphisms).

The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers working in various inter-related fields, introduce their approaches and discoveries to one another, and to promote joint research in and between these fields. To achieve this we will have a small number of keynote talks, several contributed talks, at least one open problem session, and ample time for discussions and problem solving.

The conference will be well-suited (but certainly not restricted) to those who have previously attended the SIGMAC/SIGMAP series of meetings in the US, Portugal and Mexico (every four years since 1998), the GEMS meetings (in Slovakia), the 4-yearly graph theory conferences at Bled (Slovenia), the AMS special sessions on Automorphisms of Surfaces, and/or the recent conferences in Beijing on Group Theory and Algebraic Combinatorics. Anyone with interest in automorphisms of discrete structures is welcome to consider attending.

Transport Security 2012

Feb 13, 2012 - Feb 14, 2012,
Copthorne Tara Hotel, England United Kingdom

Focus on transport security is as heightened as it has ever been and vigilance remains critical. This is particularly the case when securing major events. 2012 sees the hosting of two major international sporting events; the London 2012 Olympics, UEFA Euro 2012 in Poland & Ukraine. This is followed by FIFA World Cup 2014 in Brazil and the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. These events face unique challenges in securing the transport network.

With these issues in mind, SMi is proud to present our inaugural Transport Security event. Building on the success of the SMi security portfolio, this launch event will take a global perspective on all key issues surrounding transport security from security and protection of people and cargo at airports to maintaining security over the entire transport network for major international events. This conference will also use case study analysis to analyse the measures undertaken and lessons to be learned from past experiences.

Global ManuChem Strategies 2012

Feb 13, 2012 - Feb 14, 2012,
Swissotel, Berlin Germany 10789

Today, however, chemical manufacturers are recognizing that operational excellence relies not only on traditional technology, but also on the effective combination of emerging technologies, lean & six sigma and the role of the “human factor.” Over-emphasis of one aspect to the detriment of the other will limit an organization from achieving its true potential. Optimizing performance requires managers to have an in depth understanding of how products and customers consume resources and this is why manufacturers adopt more sophisticated cost and profitability analytics - solutions that go beyond production and include the supply chain, support functions and infrastructure.

Added to these are new imperatives for sustainability and energy efficiency as chemical companies are under constant pressure to manage risk, customer relationships, health, safety, and environmental (HSE) issues. These challenges affect the way chemical manufacturers operate, and optimizing plant operations to reduce costs is a top priority for global chemical companies.

A suite of (software) tools & methods, such as MES, BI or an integrated automation infrastructure has been developed in order to fulfil both the technical and human requirements of achieving operational excellence. This emerging technology is available today and can be implemented to provide companies in the chemical industry with capabilities that improve visibility, manage events, and provide performance scorecarding and analytics for improving and understanding performance. This allows production and logistics processes to be synchronised so that, at any time, products are quickly and cost efficiently delivered which contributes to maintaining a competitive edge. Many leading chemical manufacturers recognize the need for a vastly improved and more global automation infrastructure than currently exists in even the most automated facilities. These companies need better tracking and tracing capabilities, cost-effective production management solutions, methods to maximize asset utilization and solutions for improving quality and safety.

Agile enterprise is always one step ahead of the competition, which cultivates a responsive environment and delivers major improvements in lead time, product quality, and lower production costs. The resulting increase in inventory levels, costs and savings, and the massive pressure from Asian competitors requires a thorough discussion of methods and tools to implement a strategic and sustainable production management in the chemical industry under the impact of global shifts in the market.

The “Global ManuCHEM Strategies” will discuss these challenges and solutions with top executive and managers from all leading chemical companies from Europe and the US.

The 2nd Annual District Energy Asia Summit 2012

Feb 13, 2012 - Feb 14, 2012,
Renaissance Beijing Capital Hotel, Beijing, Beijing (munic.) China 100022

A few facts about District Energy:

60% of the energy generated by today’s power plants are wasted
The energy wasted in power production can be used through district heating or cooling systems
The CO2 emission will increase by 50% in the next 25 years if nothing is done
Replacing the conventional supply system with District Energy by 15% will help to achieve halfway to CO2 emissions target

Energy security and efficiency are the top priorities for policy makers in China. Besides the ambitious plans on renewable energy development, District Energy is getting on the agenda as an important strategy to help achieving the fast developing country’s energy goal.

We’ve learned about the overview picture of the district energy development at the fist District Heating and Cooling Asia conference in Beijing. Since then, more projects have taken place and more questions were raised: How to work out a feasible regulatory guideline to direct the development? What is the most suitable business model for developing district energy projects in China? And how does renewable energy come into play?

Based on the success of the District Heating & Cooling Asia conference in 2011, District Energy Asia continues to provide cutting edge discussions on these issues covering technology, policies and case studies. Most importantly, the real life project information will be shred from active heating, cooling, CHP and CCHP projects in China.

Seize business opportunities and learn about success factors from the following key projects highlighted this year:

    * Tianjin Eco-City DHC project, China
    * Shanxi Jinzhong CHP project, China
    * Beijing district heating projects, China
    * CHP project at Chengdu Century City, China
    * Finland district heating business model, Finland
    * District energy projects in Japan, Japan
    * District energy policy in Korea, Korea

Advances in Wind Turbine Rotor Blades

Feb 13, 2012 - Feb 15, 2012,
Swissôtel Bremen, Bremen, Bremen Germany

Rotor blades represent up to a quarter of the investment in a wind turbine. Improving the performance of the rotor is considered a very promising way to reduce the cost of energy from wind.

The race for ever bigger wind turbines, especially for the offshore market, is creating challenging impacts on the development of corresponding rotor blades. Advanced aerodynamic and structural designs, new or optimised materials as well as cost-effective manufacturing technologies are required to advance performance whilst coping with the severe pressure on cost control.

First event to set industry benchmarks on blade design, composites and manufacturing processes

Network with key players in the industry such as Siemens Wind Power, SGL Rotec and Windnovation and gain useful information to take back:

    * Gain insight into aerodynamic and structural performance of smart blade design for future wind turbines
    * Learn about the benefits and challenges of carbon and natural fibres in wind turbine rotor blades
    * Overcome the key obstacles in the development of controllable rubber trailing edge flap technology
    * Introduce mechanisation in rotor blade production to increase cost-efficiency and quality
