4th International Conference on Uncertainty in Mechanical Engineering

4th ICUME takes place on June 07. - 08. 2021

The safety and health of participants and guests is a top priority for the ICUME organizers. Due to the Coronavirus travel warnings of the German Federal Foreign Office, the date for the 4th ICUME will be postponed. The Conferece will take place on June 07. – 08. 2021. This is to ensure that everyone who wants to participate can attend. All new deadlines can be fount on this page.

About ICUME

At ICUME, the participants will discuss methods and technologies to describe, evaluate and control uncertainty in mechanical engineering applications. International scholars and specialists will come together to provide a broad forum to discuss the description, evaluation, avoidance, elimination of and adaptation to uncertainty.

It is the aim to control uncertainty throughout the system’s complete lifetime in planning, development, production and usage of mechanical structures and systems. Engineers, mathematicians, legal experts and other areas of expertise working in uncertainty evaluation exchange latest research results and application of uncertainty control.

The following research areas with the associated key researchers will be investigated at 4th ICUME:

Resilience as a concept for mastering uncertainty

Prof. Mark Pfetsch / Dr. Hermann Kloberdanz

Mastering uncertainty by digitalization

Prof. Peter Pelz / Prof. Reiner Anderl

Uncertainty in production

Prof. Peter Groche / Prof. Eberhard Abele

Responsability for autonomuos systems

Prof. Peter Groche / Prof. Janine Wendt

Uncertainty quantification

Prof. Michael Kohler / Prof. Tobias Melz

Optimization under uncertainty

Prof. Mark Pfetsch / Prof. Stefan Ulbrich

Prof. Jose Rios,
Universidad Politécnica de Madrid

ICUME 2018 was mainly focused on Mechanical Engineering, but it comprised a wide variety of perspectives from where the uncertainty concept was analyzed, presented and discussed, and that helped to provide a multidisciplinary view on the main issues that affect uncertainty and to trigger ideas connecting different issues and techniques.

There are two possibilities to join the conference:

  1. First possibility is to organize your own mini-symposium. Choose your topic and invite three to four speakers. Send us a short proposal of your mini-symposium and after a successful review process we’re going to give you your session. Invited speakers are kindly asked to submit an abstract in English.
  2. Second way to join ICUME is to directly submit an abstract. After a review qualified participants are assigned to an appropriate session.

All qualified speakers decide on their own if they want to publish a full paper after they submit an abstract. However, every speaker gets a slot of 25 min for presentation and discussion.

Proceedings

There will be conference proceedings, published in the series lecture notes in mechanical engineering by springer.

The papers must have at least 6 pages and should not exceed 10 pages. The submitted papers are subject to a full peer review process. All deadlines are listed in the next paragraph.

Templates for and guidlines for author can be found at Springer.

All submissions have to follow the Reference Style “Basic”, Citation Style “Numbered” and Numbering Style “Content Only”. Figures will be printed in black and white in the proceedings. Nevertheless, the eBook version can display colored illustrations. All submitted colored illustrations must be recognizable in black and white.
