• AI, data science and dataspaces
• Process automation
• Discrete manufacturing
• Safety & security
• Robotics & autonomous systems
• Sustainable technologies, energy and circular economy
• Technology and innovation management
• Industrial communication
2) annual scientific workshop
Joint workshop of technical committees “Modeling, identification and simulation in automation” and “Systems theory and control”
Anif near Salzburg, Austria, September 2026 (annually)
Type of event: Scientific Workshop
Website: https://www.uni-ulm.de/in/gma-fa-2-14/
Two technical committees of GMA’s automation technology methodology division organize an annual joint workshop with lectures and intensive discussion. Traditionally, this workshop of the German member organization GMA takes place near Salzburg in Austria. The GMA Technical Committee 2.13 is dedicated to questions of modeling, identification and simulation of dynamic systems at the interface to control engineering. The focus is on theoretical aspects and numerical methods as well as concrete applications from industry and research. The GMA Technical Committee 2.14 deals with current developments in control theory and their application in the industrial environment. The main topics are model predictive control of dynamic systems, nonlinear observers and state estimators as well as control of networked and distributed parametric systems.
