Site Plan of the Symposium Venue 7 This is Stuttgart, Germany A Little about Germany Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany, is a federal parliamentary republic in Europe. The country consists of 16 states while the capital and largest city is Berlin. Germany covers an area of 357 021 km2 and has a largely temperate seasonal climate. With 81.8 million inhabitants, it is the most populous member state and the largest economy in the European Union. It is one of the major political powers of the European continent and a techno-logical leader in many fields. Opera of Stuttgart The Stuttgart Region Inventive, cultivated, relaxing and enticing at the same time ln the Stuttgart Region, nature goes hand in hand with technology, and tradition with innovation. lts architecture is both baroque and modern. It spans the diversity of the pulsating economic metropolis and a wealth of culture on the highest level. All of this is to be found amidst an idyllic, topographically appealing scenery. The Stuttgart Region comprises 179 towns and communities, divided into five administrative districts and the municipality of Stuttgart. About 2.7 million people of around 170 different nationalities live here, 602 110 of them in Stuttgart. The state capital's main landmark is the Television Tower – the first of its kind worldwide. Map of Germany and BadenWürttemberg Stuttgart is the capital of the state of BadenWürttemberg in Southern Germany. Stuttgart owes its name to a stud farm, or "Stuotgarten", which Duke Liudolf of Swabia is said to have founded in 950 AD. To defend this stud farm, the Old Castle was built. The New Castle was the residence of the kings of Württemberg up to the middle of the 19th century. Today the building contains ministries of the Baden-Württemberg state government and state reception rooms. The Castle Square is the most central part of Stuttgart. It is an absolute must when enjoying a stroll through the city because 8 Did you know … that Stuttgart is the city with the largest elevation variation out of all German major cities? The city area stretches over a difference in elevation of 342 meters. Therefore, you can climb in Stuttgart the most stairways of all German cities with a stretch of 30 kilometers in length. ……………………………………………… this is where the city's heartbeat can best be felt. It is bordered by the Königstraße, Europe's longest pedestrian zone and shopping area, 1.2 km in length. Europe’s largest high-tech region The Stuttgart region is a main center for: the automotive industry mechanical engineering information and communication technology environmental technology years on display and is one of the most visited museums in the country. Stuttgart is spread across a variety of hills (some of them vineyards), valleys and parks – unusual for a German city and often a source of surprise to visitors who primarily associate the city with its industrial reputation as the "cradle of the automobile". Königstraße in the city center, one of the most frequented shopping streets in Germany The Landtag, the State Parliament building, is located in the Upper Castle Gardens. Directly adjacent are the Staatstheater Stuttgart, Europe's largest triple-branch theater, comprising Stuttgart State Opera, the world-famous Stuttgart Ballet and the Schauspiel Stuttgart theater company. A wide diversity of museums rounds off the culture scene. The Stuttgart Museum of Art has the world's most outstanding collection of the oeuvre of Otto Dix. The Stuttgart State Gallery has works from 700 Television Tower – Landmark of the city and the first in the world built of ferroconcrete 9 University of Stuttgart A Research University of International Standing The University of Stuttgart lies right in the center of the largest high-tech region of Europe. It is surrounded by a number of renowned research facilities and has such global industrial players as Daimler or Bosch as its neighbors. It was founded in 1829, and over the years, this technical institution has evolved into the research intensive university that it is today. Its main emphasis lies on engineering and the natural sciences. However, combining these areas with humanities and the social sciences adds something special to its profile. Indicators of its excellent status are projects like the Excellence Cluster "Simulation Technology". The university is also involved in a number of Collaborative Research Centers and Research Training Groups. The research activities are concentrated around eight interdisciplinary areas: Modeling and simulation technology New materials Complex systems and communication Test setup for monitoring the contact force at a middle-ear prothesis Technology concepts and technology assessment Energy and environment Mobility Integrated product and production design Design and technology of sustainable living spaces The University of Stuttgart is going to strengthen its research through interdisciplinary networks of cooperation in order to continue to expand its cuttingedge position in these fields. It is going to increase its international presence and concentrate on themes that are of central importance for its future. Behind all this lies the vision of undertaking research on the whole life cycle of a product. This involves not only the engineering implementation but also the evaluation of the sustainability of the technical innovations. ……………………………………………… Did you know … that the "Tagblatt-Tower" (publisher of a local newspaper) was the first skyscraper in Stuttgart with its 61 meters and 18 floors, built in 1928?

VVS means Transit and Tariff Association Stuttgart (German: Verkehrsund Tarifverbund Stuttgart). We recommend you to buy a single ride ticket (German: Einzelticket) for two zones for your journey from the airport to the University Campus Vaihingen or from the main station to the University Campus Vaihingen or vice versa. Step off at the station "Universität". Also for the journey from the University Campus Vaihingen to the Symposium Reception, a two-zones ticket is required. A single ride ticket entitles the rider to one ride in the one direction, but changing lines as well as short ride interruptions are permitted. The tickets remain in effect for two hours from purchase. The price for two zones is 2.80 Euro. You can buy your ticket from the ticket machines. You will find them close to the entry of the suburban railway stations. Unfortunately, you will not find the ticket machines directly on the platform of the suburban railways or in the trains. Single-day tickets with an unlimited number of rides or a discounted multitrip travel card with four single tickets are also available from the ticket machines. The three-day ticket is an attractive offer designed for overnight guests at hotels and guest houses within the VVS territory. Please ask for a three-day-ticket in your hotel. A map of the railway network is contained in the conference bag. 12 How to Arrive at the University Campus Vahingen From Stuttgart main station (German: Hauptbahnhof) or from Stuttgart city center (German: Stadtmitte), you should take one of the following suburban railways (German: S-Bahn) which travel every 10 minutes.

Campus Vaihingen, University of Stuttgart Symposium Reception Television Tower in Stuttgart On Tuesday evening, May 17, 2016, at 7.00 p.m., the Symposium Reception will take place at the Television Tower in Stuttgart The world's very first television tower is to be found in Stuttgart. For 60 years now 14 the 217-meter-high tower has defied wind and weather. When building commenced, many of Stuttgart´s inhabitants were doubtful as to whether the first ever tower to be constructed from reinforced concrete would hold. After a construction period lasting 20 months, the Stuttgart Television Tower was inaugurated on 5th Feburary 1956. It became a prototype that was imitated refined all over the world - from Frankfurt and Dortmund to Johannesburg and Wuhan in China. A tower not just for technology antennas on top of a 200-meter-high, guyed iron lattice mast. However, Professor Fritz Leonhardt, the famous Stuttgart bridge builder and structural engineer, proposed a concrete tower instead. His concept was not only an innovation from the construction point of view, but also because of the plan to use it for tourism and catering purposes. Thus an aesthetic tower came into being which incorporated an almost circular cylindrical pod with an observation deck, restaurant and transmitter technology. The costs of construction, 4.2 million marks, were recouped within the space of five years from the takings in admission charges. Today a Stuttgart landmark Originally the Süddeutscher Rundfunk (South German Broadcasting Company) had intended to install its Today the Television Tower is one of Stuttgart´s best-known landmarks. No other view in Stuttgart can compare with its impressive panoramas over the city, the vineyards of the Neckar Valley and the Swabian countryside as far as the Swabian Alb, the Black Forest and the Odenwald. 15 Excursion and Symposium Dinner All participants of the Symposium are kindly invited to the excursion to the Lorch Monestery and to the mine "Tiefer Stollen" in Aalen. We will start on Thursday, May 19, 2016, at 2 p.m. Lorch Monastery Lorch Monastery (Kloster Lorch), Wäscherschloss Castle (Burg Wäscherschloss) and Hohenstaufen are key historical locations for the Staufer dynasty. They represent the birthplace of the dynasty, the official family seat, and its initial burial site, respectively. Lorch Monastery – the final resting place The buildings of this former Benedictine monastery keep watch over the narrowest point of the Rems Valley. In medieval times, this was the Hofenstaufen family’s place of worship and burial site. Duke Friedrich I of Schwaben commissioned its 16 construction around 1100 and several family members were laid to rest here. With the advent of the Evangelical church, the monastery was closed in 1556. From 1879, the rise of German national identity prompted increased interest in the Staufer dynasty. As a result, the planned destruction of the site was halted. One of the original pair of round towers – that once flanked the west part of the building – is still a prominent sight on the horizon. The central nave of the chapel, a Romanesque basilica, houses a further treasure: the Staufer family tomb, which dates back to 1475 Mine Tiefer Stollen The mining and working of iron ore has a very long tradition in the Aalen area. Smelting furnaces dating from pre-Christian and Roman times have been discovered here. For hundreds of years it was the most important industry in the Ostalb region, and even today there are companies continuing this tradition. Some with a long history, such as chain manufacturers and foundries. In 1948, economic factors finally ended mining in this area. The relatively low iron content of the ore (37 %) arid the increasing costs of personnel and transport made the pit closures inevitable. One of the old mines was the iron ore pit "Wilhelm", which is now accessible via the exhibition mine "Tiefer Stollen" (Deep Tunnel). The mine has been reopened as a memorial to the generations of miners from this area and as a reminder of the centuries-old industrial tradition of the Aalen region. The town of Aalen, a Society of Friends of the Mine and many private citizens have invested thousands of hours of voluntary work to restore the mine and make it fit for visitors. As far as possible, the mine has been left in its original state. The volunteers cleared away massive piles of rubble, leveled the floor and spread chippings and redid the original guttering. They re-laid the railtracks, installed electric light and added handrails and stairways. The walls and roofs are still in their original condition, although in a few places restoration work had to be carried out copying the original. 17 Symposium Dinner The Symposium Dinner will be held on Thursday evening, May 19, 2016, at 7 p.m. near the mine "Tiefer Stollen". Shuttle bus to the Lorch Monastery and the Mine Tiefer Stollen A shuttle bus will depart on Thursday, May 19, 2016, at 2 p.m. from the University of Stuttgart, bringing the participants directly to the Lorch Monastery and to the mine "Tiefer Stollen" in Aalen. Transfer to Social Events Individual arrival to the Symposium Reception at the Television Tower in Stuttgart The shuttle bus departs close to the building Pfaffenwaldring 9 in front of the Commundo Tagungshotel A seperate flyer with directions to the Symposium Reception will be provided at the conference desk and with your conference material. Please refer to the instructions on that flyer to get to the Television Tower, or follow our staff in the blue shirts. At the end of the Symposium Dinner, there will be a bus shuttle back to the University Campus Vaihingen. More details will be given during the Symposium. 18 Program Overview Monday, May 16, 2016 Wednesday, May 18, 2016 9:30 Pre-Registration 18:00 - 19:00 Pfaffenwaldring 9, 4th floor - 11:00 Session 5 11:00 - 11:30 Coffee Break 11:30 - 13:00 Session 6 19:00 - 21:00 Welcome Reception Pfaffenwaldring 9, 4th floor 13:00 - 14:00 Lunch 14:00 - 15:30 Session 7 15:30 - 16:00 Coffee Break Tuesday, May 17, 2016 Registration Pfaffenwaldring 47 8:00 - 18:00 9:00 - 9:30 - 11:00 Session 1 9:30 Welcome Session 11:00 - 11:30 Coffee Break 11:30 - 13:00 Session 2 16:00 - 18:00 Session 8 Thursday, May 19, 2016 9:30 11:00 Session 9 11:00 11:30 Coffee Break 11:30 13:00 Session 10 13:00 14:00 Lunch 14:00 17:30 Excursion 19:00 23:00 Dinner 13:00 - 14:00 Lunch 14:00 - 15:30 Session 3 15:30 - 16:00 Coffee Break Friday, May 20, 2016 16:00 - 17:30 Session 4 9:30 11:00 Session 11 17:30 - 17:40 Announcement 11:00 11:30 Coffee Break 11:30 13:00 Session 12 13:00 13:15 Closing Session 19:00 Symposium Reception - Fernsehturm ("TV Tower") 19 20 Scientific Program 21 Tuesday, May 17, 2016 Session 1 Chair: The Columella and the Footplate in the Middle Ear of Birds: Piston-like or Rocking Motion?
