Conference `New technologies and standards: digitization of national heritage` is annual meeting which has been organized since 2002. by Faculty of Mathematics University of Belgrade, Mathematical Institute of Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SASA), National Center for Digitization (http://www.ncd.matf.bg.ac.rs, http://www.ncd.org.rs) and subproject 9 of project 44006 of Ministry of Science and Technological Development. Conference is about multidisciplinary aspects of national cultural and scientific heritage digitization.
Themes of the 10th Conference are:
Consideration of elements for national strategy formulation of scientific and cultural heritage digitization
Presentation of current digitization projects, digitization standards, professional processing, preservation and presentation of national heritage, technological aspects of digitization (algorithms, software implementation and new technologies) and other associated topics.
Conference will be held on 22-23rd September 2011, at the Faculty of Mathematics, University of Belgrade, Serbia, Studentski trg 16.
Conference participants, who wish to have presentation on Conference, need to send us paper abstract, in DOC format, until 1st September 2011, to the address ncd@matf.bg.ac.rs (Subject: "NCD conference, abstract submission).
Papers presented on the Conference, which pass reviewing process, will be printed in the journal National Center for Digitization (NCD) Review (http://elib.mi.sanu.ac.rs, http://www.ncd.matf.bg.ac.rs)

Title of lecture: ANALYSIS AND CONTROL OF PARAMETRICALLY EXCITED SYSTEMS: A NEW APPROACH
Abstract:
A general framework for the analysis and control of parametrically excited linear/nonlinear dynamical systems is presented. This class of problems appears in the modeling of rotorcraft blades in forward flight, asymmetric rotor-bearing systems, automotive components such as connecting rods, universal joints, asymmetric satellites, fluids under gravity modulations, etc. These dynamical systems are represented by a set of differential equations which contain time-periodic coefficients. First, an efficient computational scheme for the solution of linear problem is discussed through an application of Chebyshev polynomials. The idea is further developed to obtain the Lyapunov-Floquet (L-F) transformation associated with a linearized or a quasilinear time-periodic dynamical system. An application of L-F transformation yields equivalent systems whose linear parts are time-invariant. Therefore, the controls for all time-periodic linear systems can be designed using the standard time-invariant methods such as pole placement or optimal control theory. A symbolic control technique for Floquet multiplier placement is also suggested for linear time-periodic systems. In the case of nonlinear systems, a periodic orbit in the original coordinates has a fixed point representation after the L-F transformation. The local stability and bifurcation analyses are studied via time-dependent `center manifold reduction` and `normal form theory`. Results for fold, flip and secondary Hopf bifurcations are discussed. Bifurcation control and feedback linearization techniques for nonlinear time-periodic systems are also developed and applied to some typical problems. Further, the order reduction problem associated with free and forced parametrically excited large-scale nonlinear systems is also addressed using an invariant manifold approach. A methodology for reducedorder controller design is also suggested. The practical significance of these approaches is demonstrated through simulations and experimental investigations of a number of mechanical systems. These include vibration control of a multi-bladed rotor, shafts supported by magnetic bearings, bifurcation analyses of a flexible slider crank mechanism and an autoparametric mechanical system, among others.

AstroMundus is a recently established international Master Course in Astronomy and Astrophysics that has been selected by the European Commission as an Erasmus Mundus Masters Course within the second edition of the Erasmus Mundus programme.
The programme has a duration of 2 years (120 ECTS credits), is developed within a consortium of 5 Universities in 4 different countries (Austria, Italy, Germany, and Serbia), and is conducted in the English Language. A wide variety of expertise covered by our international partnership ensures
an excellent educational level in all branches of Astrophysics.
We invite applications from top-ranked students that either hold or are expected to obtain before August 2011 a Bachelor`s Degree (or an equivalent certified period of studies of at least 3 years, corresponding to 180 credits in the European Credit Transfer System) in Physics, Astronomy, Astrophysics, Mathematics or closely related fields. A certified good knowledge of the English language is required.
Applications are now solicited for the Master course starting in September 2011. Deadline is: 30th November, 2010 for both non-EU and EU students.
