EMBOCON Workshop in Heidelberg, March 24-25, 2011
Contents |
General Information
The third internal EMBOCON workshop will take place in Heidelberg on March 24-25, 2011.
There will be a prequel one day tutorial course, the EMBOCON Tutorial Nonlinear Control in Heidelberg, March 23, 2011.
Location
The Workshop will take place at the University of Heidelberg in building 368, in the rooms 432, 520 and 532 on the 4th and 5th floors of the core IWR building. Travel information is availabe here.
Travel and Hotel Information
Detailed travel information and links to some hotels can be found, e.g., at this conference site. Each participant is asked to book rooms on his/her own. Feel free to contact Janick Frasch if you need assistance with the booking.
Workshop Dinner
On Thursday evening we will have a caterer deliver food and beverages to the common room of the Heidelberg Graduate School. On Wednesday and Friday evening we will arrange trips to the old town for those that arrive early / stay longer.
Programme
The workshop is meant to be hands on. We will have several blocks of parallel work groups, in which we will strive to advance EMBOCON topics. It might be very useful if you brought your own notebook along. Evaluating the Doodle poll lead to the following program:
