MATHMOD VIENNA 2012 

7th Vienna International Conference on Mathematical Modelling 

February 15 – 17, 2012, Vienna University of Technology 

CONFERENCE PROGRAMME 

Dear MATHMOD 2012 Participants, 

Welcome at MATHMOD 2012. We are glad, that more than 400 participants chose 

MATHMOD 2012 to present and discuss developments and trends in mathematical 

modelling. MATHMOD 2012 offers two novelties. First, we have increased the number 

of plenary lectures, in order to allow a better discussion between the very different 

disciplines and areas of mathematical modelling. And secondly, we have changed 

the publication strategy: MATHMOD 2012 Proceedings will be published at IFAC- 

PapersOnLine.net, due to better availability and citation; MATHMOD 2012 Preprints 

will be available at the conference. We thank all authors, and all organisers of the 

very successful MATHMOD Minisymposia for their effort and co-operation. 

Conferences have two souls, a scientific soul and a social soul – both are needed for 

success; so we have provided a hopefully attractive Social Programme. We wish you 

a fruitful MATHMOD 2012 and a pleasant stay in Vienna. 

Inge Troch, Felix Breitenecker 

MATHMOD Scope – Topics - IPC 

The scope of MATHMOD 2012 covers theoretic and applied aspects of the various types of 

mathematical modelling (equations of various types, automata, Petri nets, bond graphs, qualitative 

and fuzzy models, etc.) for systems of dynamic nature (deterministic, stochastic, continuous, 

discrete or hybrid with respect to time, etc.). Comparison of modelling approaches, 

model simplification, modelling uncertainties, port-based modelling, and the impact of items 

such as these on problem solution, numerical techniques, validation, automation of modelling 

and software support for modelling, co-simulation, etc. will be discussed in special sessions as 

well as applications of modelling in control, design or analysis of systems in engineering and 

other fields of application. The topics to be discussed will include e.g. 

• modelling theory , fractional calculus 

• processes/ methods for modelling, identification, development, reduction, validation 

• automation of modelling and software aids for modelling 

• qualitative modelling including fuzzy and iterative approaches to modelling 

• modular modelling and interdisciplinary modelling 

• learning networks / uncertainties in modelling 

• relationship between the modelling approach and problem solutions 

• comparison of methods for modelling, model reduction and model validation 

• effects of modelling errors on overall performance of an engineering system 

• applications in the field of engineering systems and in natural sciences 

• applications in environmental systems, biotechnology, etc. 

• applications in operation research, logistics and planning 

• applications in medicine, physiology, health care and health technology assessment 

• recent developments like cyberphysical modelling 

• modelling aspects in scientific computing

Conference Publications 

MATHMOD 2012 comes with a new publication strategy. The need of Proceedings which are 

listed in scientific citation systems caused us to change from electronic CD-Proceedings with 

ISBN, but without DOI and without science citation index listing, towards electronic web 

publication on a renowned publication server with citation features. As MATHMOD conference 

series is an IFAC - sponsored conference series, the choice for web publication for the 

Proceedings was IFAC-PapersOnLine.net, the web publication server of IFAC, the International 

Federation of Automatic Control. All papers published on IFAC-PapersOnLine.net can 

be cited using the site ISSN, the event ISBN, and the individual paper DOI (Digital Object 

Identifier), and furthermore publications will be indexed in SCOPUS, etc. IFAC- 

PapersOnLine.net, developed as a partnership between IFAC and Elsevier, the IFAC Publisher, 

is Open Access in nature – no charge to individual for reading or downloading, up to a 

limit of 25 papers per calendar month. 

Nevertheless, at MATHMOD 2012 preprints will be available. MATHMOD participants have 

provided Preprint Abstracts of their contributions for the printed MATHMOD 2012 Abstracts 

Preprint Volume and Preprint Full Contributions for the electronic MATHMOD 

2012 Full Contributions Preprint Volume (USB Stick). The full preprint contributions will 

undergo a full-paper review for inclusion into MATHMOD 2012 Proceedings at the IFAC 

publication server IFAC-PapersOnLine.net. 

The Preprint Volumes, published as ARGESIM Report no. S38, compile the preprint abstracts 

and the preprint full contributions to MATHMOD 2012. Four contribution types have 

been provided. The classical contribution types are MATHMOD Contribution and MATH- 

MOD Minisymposium Contribution, accepted by general peer review based on an extended 

review abstracts, or by review of the minisymposium organisers. MATHMOD 2012 also continues 

with a novelty introduced in MATHMOD 2009 – the type MATHMOD Work-in- 

Progress Contribution. Contributions of this type are intended for presentation of recent developments 

and work in progress in all areas of modelling and simulation. And last but not 

least, MATHMOD Student Contributions give e.g. PhD Students a chance to present themselves 

their own work. 

In summary, the MATHMOD 2012 publications are: 

• MATHMOD 2012 Abstracts Preprint Volume 

Troch, F. Breitenecker, eds.; ARGESIM Report no. S38; printed 

• MATHMOD 2012 Full Contributions Preprint Volume 

Troch, F. Breitenecker, eds.; ARGESIM Report no. S38; electronically at USB stick 

• MATHMOD 2012 Proceedings at IFAC-PapersOnLine.net 

Troch, F. Breitenecker, eds.; web proceedings; ISBN to be announced; 

each contribution with DOI and indexing 

Copyright Regulations 

Only contributions not published and not being considered for publication elsewhere were 

allowed to be submitted to MATHMOD 2012, with electronic Full Preprint publication and 

printed Abstract Preprint publication, and with Proceedings publication at IFAC publication 

web server IFAC-PapersOnLine.net (based on peer review of full preprint contributions). 

All contributions accepted by the preconference review based on extended review abstracts or 

by special review of the minisymposia are published in Preprint Volumes (printed abstracts, 

and USB stick with full contributions, published in series ARGESIM Reports), available at 

begin of MATHMOD 2012. Any full preprint contribution is automatically reviewed for proceedings 

publication at IFAC-PapersOnLine.net (full paper review). Copyright for accepted 

contributions is transferred to IFAC (for details, see IFAC-PapersOnLine.net). For Proceedings, 

as well as for Preprints, the IFC copyright regulations are valid.

MATHMOD 2012 Scientific Programme 

The MATHMOD 2012 Scientific Programme consists of Invited Plenary Lectures, MATH- 

MOD Contribution Sessions, MATHMOD Minisymposia, MATHMOD Work-in-Progress 

Poster Session, MATHMOD Student Contribution Poster Session, and Tutorials. This programme 

is a final one, but changes might be unavoidable. Changes will be announced at the 

conference office, and regularly updated in the schedule at MATHMOD webpage. 

MATHMOD 2012 Plenary Lectures / Invited Contributions 

At previous MATHMOD conferences it turned out, that participants prefer a bigger number 

of invited lectures, with impact on overview and state-of-the-art in modelling and simulation. 

MATHMOD 2012 follows this idea by twelve invited lectures. These lectures cover a broad 

area of mathematical modelling and simulation. Scientists from abroad and from TU Vienna 

give an overview about state-of-the-art and recent developments in modelling and simulation 

(for date and time, see detailed MATHMOD 2012 Schedule in this Programme):

MATHMOD 2012 Contribution Sessions 

The ‘classical’ MATHMOD contributions are arranged in sessions according to their main 

thematic point. Such a grouping is by no means easy because many contributions address several 

different aspects in a balanced manner, and the contributions show very strong interdisciplinarity. 

So it was decided to have a first group with contributions on methods and theory, 

a second group dealing with identification in theory and application, followed by comprehensive 

application groups. Each group has been split in two to four sessions: 

• Modelling Methods, Theory & Tools • Biology, Physiology & Medicine 

• Identification, Estimation, & Calibration • Discrete Systems and Manufacturing 

• Mechatronics & Electrical Engineering • Process Engineering 

• Control Systems

MATHMOD 2012 Minisymposia 

MATHMOD Minisymposia are devoted to a specific field within the scope of the conference. 

Specialist in such specific fields have been offered the opportunity to compile a minisymposium 

with 5 - 15 contributions, selecting themselves authors and taking care for a proper review. 

Suggestions for minisymposia have been carefully reviewed by the conference organisers. 

For proceedings publication, full contribution preprints undergo a full paper peer review.

MATHMOD 2012 Poster Awards 

During poster presentation, Thursday, February 15, 2012, 3.20 pm – 4.20 pm, all participants 

are invited to walk around in the poster area and to discuss with the authors about their contribution, 

and finally to vote for Best Work-in-Progress Contribution Poster and Best Student 

Contribution Poster. Criteria for selecting the best poster should not only be content, but also 

poster presentation and poster layout, and personal presentation. And clearly, for Student 

Posters a different rating scale is appropriate. 

In order to make voting easier, the Poster Presentation Session is accompanied by an extended 

coffee break with tasting of the MATHMOD 2012 Conference Wine. And in order to 

make voting more attractive, also prizes for voters will be drawn. Ballots may be found in the 

MATHMOD 2012 Conference Box, and they are available at the conference desk. Please indicate 

poster number on the ballot, and do not forget to write your name on the back side of the 

ballot paper (in order to take part in the voters’ drawing). During and after Poster Session 

ballots will be collected in a ballot box. 

The following table gives the prizes for all voting – please note that the first prize is of considerable 

worth. Announcement of winners and handover of prizes will take place in the Closing 

Session on Friday noon. On this occasion also the prizes for the voters will be drawn – but 

only among present voters !

MATHMOD 2012 Documents and Accessory 

MATHMOD 2012 provides for each participant documents and accessory, items of scientific, 

organisational, artistically, and ‘spiritual’ value, being all MATHMOD ‘souvenirs’. 

For MATHMOD 2012, MATHMOD organisers have chosen a very special 

MATHMOD Conference Box. The wooden box with MATHMOD 

laser engraving was manufactured by disabled people in the rehabilitation 

centre ATZ Schloss Schiltern (→ www.schloss-schiltern.at). The work in 

the sheltered workshop (wood workshop) helps disabled people for integration 

into the work process. For MATHMOD 2012 and the preceding 

ASIM TCSE workshop 550 boxes were manufactured. 

The box shows an interesting variation of the MATHMOD Nexus Logo – 

a laser engraving in wood. 

The MATHMOD Conference Box contains the printed MATHMOD 2012 Abstract Preprint 

Volume (Troch, F. Breitenecker, eds.; ARGESIM Report no. S38; printed) and an USB stick 

with the electronic MATHMOD 2012 Full Contributions Preprint Volume, furthermore the 

MATHMOD 2012 Final Programme, vouchers for social events and MATHMOD Conference 

Wine, ballot papers for Best Poster voting, MATHMOD 2012 Postcards - Algorithmic Art 

Prints, and some gadgets. After MATHMOD 2012, this box is ideally suited for storing notebook 

accessories, etc. 

In the MATHMOD 2012 Conference Bag, a shopping bag, participants find information 

material about Vienna, about Vienna University of Technology, maps for public transport, 

information material about modelling and simulation tools from the sponsoring companies 

Maplesoft, Mathworks, Comsol, XJTEK-AnyLogic, Rand Service, and Hansa PLM. Furthermore 

it is planned to put sample copies of SNE Simulation Notes Europe into the bag, as well 

as information about the main co-sponsor IFAC. 

The MATHMOD 2012 Conference Wine – 

‘Blaufränkisch’ and ‘Zweigelt’ from vintner Wachter - 

Wiesler, with vineyards in Deutschschützen and Eisenberg, 

Burgenland, Austria - is a real souvenir, to be 

tasted at home with family and friends, to remember 

MATHMOD 2012 and to think over attending MATH- 

MOD 2015. Participants will get a bottle of their choice 

on Friday, February 17, 2012, at the conference desk 

(voucher in the wooden MATHMOD conference box. 

MATHMOD 2012 Algorithmic Art Print. Also at 

MATHMOD 2012 we have prepared for the participants 

a small unique algorithmic art print as present: 

postcards with motives from the Ocean algorithmic 

art series by Vlatko Ceric. Participants will 

find in the conference box two postcards, with different 

motives; one postcard has already a stamp, so 

that participants can send home the card as greetings 

from MATHMOD 2012.

MATH and ARTS at MATHMOD 

The MATHMOD organisers try to design appealing conference 

badges, vouchers and leaflets. For this reason it was 

decided to use paintings of famous Austrian artists. 

MATHMOD 2003 was dedicated to a well known family of 

painters, Kasimir, who painted at lot of Vienna’s buildings 

round the turn of the century. 

MATHMOD 2006 was dedicated to a world-famous Austrian 

Painter, one of the most prominent members of Vienna Art 

Nouveau (Vienna Secession) movement, Gustav Klimt. 

MATHMOD 2009 started with the combination of algorithmic 

models and art – algorithmic art pictures as design for 

MATHMOD publications and layouts. 

MATHMOD 2012 continues the at MATHMOD 2009 established 

MATH & ARTS, an idea combining mathematical 

modelling and fine arts, continuing and extending essentially 

the previous art links: 

• presenting lectures on mathematical modelling in fine 

arts and ‘non-technical’ sciences, 

• designing conference publications, badges and other 

conference handouts with printings and paintings 

especially created for MATHMOD, 

• providing a small unique conference art print 

for each participant, 

• providing prizes for Best Poster Award, 

• creating new layouts for journals e.g. SNE 

– Simulation Notes Europe, etc. 

MATHMOD - Algorithmic Art 

MATHMOD organisers are happy, that Vlatko Ceric - expert 

in discrete stochastic modelling and simulation - and expert 

and designer in the field of Algorithmic Art - provides his 

artwork for MATHMOD. Vlatko Ceric, professor at University 

Zagreb, started with algorithmic art in mid-1970th at 

early times of computer graphics, and started exhibiting in 

2005. Vlatko Ceric participated at exhibitions from New 

York City till Perth till Novosibirsk. Algorithmic Art - a 

rough definition by V. Ceric: 

• an algorithm is a procedure for solving a problem 

• a computer program is an algorithm coded in certain 

programming language 

• algorithmic art is generated by executing specific 

algorithms (computer programs) 

• no image editing with software (Photoshop) is done 

in any stage of image generation 

The pictures at right show Vlatko Cerics’s algorithmic art 

from different series. 

Kasimir: TU Vienna 

Main Building 

V. Ceric: Nocturne 

V. Veric: Compositions 

V. Ceric: Nexus 

V. Ceric: Ocean

For creating special design and layouts for MATHMOD 2009 conference handouts, Vlatko 

Ceric chose the algorithmic art technique of his Nexus series: 

... for developing artwork for MATHMOD, I decided to use a technique of square division into 

triangles used from early 20th century in abstract geometrically oriented art. I was working 

with this technique for the last few years in the Nexus Series, discovering that algorithmic 

approach based on mathematical models is able to give fresh and interesting results. 

..... the algorithmic approach enabled me to have much more complex definition of how should 

a division of a square be made depending on the location of the square compared to traditional 

handmade division. This also enables me to use the square division technique as a main visual 

key for MATHMOD 

The Nexus series became the general basis for MATHMOD logos – the following series 

shows variations of the MATHMOD Nexus Logos – at left logo MATHMOD 2009, and at 

right logo MATHMOD 2012. 

For MATHMAD 2012, Vlatko Ceric has chosen designs from the series Ocean for poster and 

art cards, and series Compositions for badges, preprint cover, program cover, vouchers, etc. 

About MATHMOD Conference Series 

The conference series Vienna International Conference on Mathematical Modelling - 

MATHMOD Vienna - takes place every third year at Vienna University of Technology. The 

series started in 1994, followed by conferences in 1997, 2000, 2003, 2006, 2009 and in 2012, 

respectively. 

At MATHMOD Vienna scientists and engineers using or developing models or interested in 

the development or application of various modelling tools are offered an opportunity to present 

ideas, methods and results and discuss their experiences or problems with experts of 

various areas of specialisation. The scope of the MATHMOD conference series covers theoretic 

and applied aspects of various types of mathematical modelling. Comparison of modelling 

approaches, model simplification, modelling uncertainties, port-based modelling and the 

impact of items such as these on problem solution, numerical techniques, validation, automation 

of modelling and software support for modelling, co-simulation, etc. are discussed. 

MATHMOD conferences 1997 – 2003 were organised under the flag of IMACS (mutual 

sponsor and series responsibility), MATHMOD 2006 was organised in the responsibility of 

ARGESIM, an ASIM working group at Vienna University of Technology (ASIM - German 

Simulation Society). MATHMOD 2009 and MATHMOD 2012 are organised in the responsibility 

of ARGESIM/ASIM under the flagship of the EUROSIM Event Series, and for 

MATHMOD 2012 IFAC became one of the main sponsors. 

MATHMOD 2009, February 10-13, 2009 gathered some 450 scientists from 31 countries, 

showing a broad variety of the art of mathematical modelling. Theoretical investigations were 

only one aspect, various kinds of applications, but also implementation and design of appropriate 

software based on formal or mathematical models were among the main topics discussed 

during 420 contributions to the conference. 

MATHMOD 2012, February 15 – 17, 2012 comes with a change in publication structure – 

from CD Proceedings to Web Proceedings at IFAC-PapersOnLine.net – in order to make publication 

more attractive. IFAC is one of MATHMOD’s main co-sponsors and offers IFAC- 

PapersOnLine.net as Conference Proceedings server with DOI, citation indexing, etc. and 

follows Open Access publication strategy. MATHMOD 2012 counts before begin about 410 

participant registrations. More information at → www.mathmod.at.

EUROSIM – Federation of European Simulation Societies 

EUROSIM, the Federation of European Simulation Societies, was set up in 

1989. The purpose of EUROSIM is to provide a European forum for regional 

and national simulation societies to promote the advancement of 

modelling and simulation in industry, research, and development. 

SNE – Simulation Notes Europe is the membership journal of EUROSIM. SNE is a scientific 

journal with reviewed contributions in the Notes Section as well as a membership newsletter 

for EUROSIM with information from the societies in the News Section. EUROSIM is 

running the triennial conference series EUROSIM Congress. The congress is organised by 

one of the EUROSIM societies. EUROSIM 2009 took place in Prague, organised by CSSS. 

EUROSIM 2012 will be organized by UKSIM in September 2013 in Cardiff, UK. 

The trademark EUROSIM Event is offered to societies and groups organising international 

conferences on modelling and simulation (with benefits for members and organisers). 

MATHMOD 2009 and MATHMOD 2012 are co-organised under this flag, making EU- 

ROSIM a main co-sponsor. Information: → www.eurosim.org 

SNE - Simulation Notes Europe 

The journal SNE - Simulation Notes Europe, previously 

Simulation News Europe – is intended 

• to inform about developments in modelling and simulation by technical notes, 

education notes, short notes, software notes and benchmarks, and 

• to report about news from simulation societies and especially 

about EUROSIM societies (membership journal). 

SNE publishes technical notes and education notes (fully peer reviewed), short notes (peer 

reviewed), and software notes on general overviews or new developments, on new software 

and hardware, on new applications and methods, and book reviews on recent books in modelling 

and simulation and in related areas.

ARGESIM SNE Benchmarks - SNE and MATHMOD 

SNE’s special series Benchmarks of Modelling and Simulation 

Technique and Tools (ARGESIM Comparisons) gives a comprehensive 

overview on developments in application and implementation. 

These ARGESIM benchmarks have become well-known 

benchmarks for modelling and simulation. 

Selected publications of MATHMOD 2006 and MATHMOD 2009 

have been published in SNE. It is planned to invite MATHMOD 

2012 authors of specific papers to submit a forthcoming /extended 

publication in SNE. 

SNE Distribution / Webpage. SNE at present is in stage of reorganisation from a printed 

journal with ISSN towards an electronic journal with DOI and citation index listing. It is 

planned to publish Simulation Notes Europe as Open Access journal, whereby members can 

download high resolution copies and benchmark sources. Furthermore printed copies will be 

available for library subscriptions and for company 

members. At present, ARGESIM is working 

on a new webpage for SNE, which will not 

only document SNE and its contents, but which 

will also organise SNE administration in submission, 

reviewing, publishing, and distributing 

contributions, and it will allow to evaluate the 

ARGESIM benchmarks.

MCMDS - Mathematical and Computer Modelling of Dynamical Systems 

Methods, Tools and Applications in Engineering and Related Sciences 

Editor in Chief: Inge Troch, Vienna Univ. of Technology 

Taylor & Francis, 6 issues / Print ISSN: 1387-3954, Online ISSN: 1744-5051 

Aims & Scope MCMDS. The derivation, combination, simplification and 

validation of models and sub-models are the main topics of Mathematical 

and Computer Modelling of Dynamical Systems, which provides an international 

forum for the presentation of new ideas in modelling and for the 

exchange of experience and knowledge through descriptions of specific 

applications. Original work will be published as regular papers or short 

notes dealing with a broad a range of topics in the area of modelling and 

simulation. 

Readership MCMDS. Engineers - especially electrical and control engineers, aerospace engineers, 

mechanical engineers, marine and offshore engineers, chemical engineers, safe engineers 

and civil engineers, mathematicians and computer scientists who are involved with applications 

of mathematical and computer modelling in the physical sciences, in biology, in 

medicine, in ecology and in other fields such as economics. All published research articles in 

this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and 

anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees. 

MCMDS and MATHMOD. Selected publications of MATHMOD 2006 and 2009 have been 

published in MCMDS. After the full paper review of MATHMOD 2012 preprint contributions 

for publication at the IFAC Proceedings Web Server, authors of specific papers will be 

invited to submit an advanced contribution for MCMDS.
