The aim is to create the largest free trade area in the world. The agreement, once entered into force, will oblige EU countries and the U.S. to further liberalize their markets. The negotiations on TTIP include a chapter on Electronic Communications/ Telecommunications. The challenge therein will be securing commitments for market access to Electronic Communications services. At the same time, these commitments must reflect the legitimate need for consumer protection issues. The need to reduce Electronic Communications-related non-tariff barriers to trade between the Parties is due to the fact that these markets are heavily regulated. Without transnational rules as to regulations national governments can abuse these regulations to deter the market entry by new (foreign) suppliers. Thus the free trade agreement TTIP affects in many respects regulatory provisions on and access to Electronic Communications markets. The objective of this paper is therefore to examine to what extend the regulatory principles for Electronic Communications markets envisaged under TTIP will result in trade facilitation and regulatory convergence between the EU and the U.S. As to this question the result of the analysis is that the chapter on Electronic Communications will be an important step towards facilitating trade in Electronic Communications services. At the same time some regulatory convergence will take place, but this convergence will not lead to a (full) harmonization of regulations. Rather the norm, also after TTIP negotiations will have been concluded successfully, will be mutual recognition of different regulatory regimes. Different regulations being the optimal policy response in different market settings will continue to exist. Moreover, it is very unlikely that such regulatory principles for the Electronic Communications sector are a vehicle for a race to the bottom in levels of consumer protection.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{StaatDuong2016, author = {Staat, Manfred and Duong, Minh Tuan}, title = {Smoothed Finite Element Methods for Nonlinear Solid Mechanics Problems: 2D and 3D Case Studies}, series = {Proceedings of the National Science and Technology Conference on Mechanical - Transportation Engineering (NSCMET 2016), 13th October 2016, Hanoi, Vietnam, Vol.2}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the National Science and Technology Conference on Mechanical - Transportation Engineering (NSCMET 2016), 13th October 2016, Hanoi, Vietnam, Vol.2}, pages = {440 -- 445}, year = {2016}, abstract = {The Smoothed Finite Element Method (SFEM) is presented as an edge-based and a facebased techniques for 2D and 3D boundary value problems, respectively. SFEMs avoid shortcomings of the standard Finite Element Method (FEM) with lower order elements such as overly stiff behavior, poor stress solution, and locking effects. Based on the idea of averaging spatially the standard strain field of the FEM over so-called smoothing domains SFEM calculates the stiffness matrix for the same number of degrees of freedom (DOFs) as those of the FEM. However, the SFEMs significantly improve accuracy and convergence even for distorted meshes and/or nearly incompressible materials. Numerical results of the SFEMs for a cardiac tissue membrane (thin plate inflation) and an artery (tension of 3D tube) show clearly their advantageous properties in improving accuracy particularly for the distorted meshes and avoiding shear locking effects.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BonneyHoefkenPaffenetal.2015, author = {Bonney, Gregor and H{\"o}fken, Hans-Wilhelm and Paffen, Benedikt and Schuba, Marko}, title = {ICS/SCADA Security - Analysis of a Beckhoff CX5020 PLC}, series = {1st International Conference on Information Systems Security and Privacy : ICISSP 2015}, booktitle = {1st International Conference on Information Systems Security and Privacy : ICISSP 2015}, organization = {International Conference on Information Systems Security and Privacy <1, 2015, Angers>}, pages = {1 -- 6}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GregorioFatigatiKallweit2015, author = {Gregorio, Fabrizio de and Fatigati, Giovanni and Kallweit, Stephan}, title = {Tiltrotor airframe flow field characterization by SPIV}, series = {11th International Symposium on Partivle Image Velocimetry - PIV15 , Santa Barbara, California, Sept 14-16, 2015}, booktitle = {11th International Symposium on Partivle Image Velocimetry - PIV15 , Santa Barbara, California, Sept 14-16, 2015}, pages = {15 S.}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{NakagawaMichauxKallweitetal.2015, author = {Nakagawa, Masaki and Michaux, Frank and Kallweit, Stephan and Maeda, Kazuhiro}, title = {Unsteady flow measurements in the wake behind a wind-tunnel car model by using high-speed planar PIV}, series = {11TH International Symposium on Particle Image Velocimetry - PIV15 Santa Barbara, California, September 14-16, 2015}, booktitle = {11TH International Symposium on Particle Image Velocimetry - PIV15 Santa Barbara, California, September 14-16, 2015}, pages = {21 S.}, year = {2015}, abstract = {This study investigates unsteady characteristics of the wake behind a 28\%-scale car model in a wind tunnel using highspeed planar particle image velocimetry (PIV). The car model is based on a hatchback passenger car that is known to have relatively high fluctuations in its aerodynamic loads. This study primarily focuses on the lateral motion of the flow on the horizontal plane to determine the effect of the flow motion on the straight-line stability and the initial steering response of the actual car on a track. This paper first compares the flow fields in the wake behind the above mentioned model obtained using conventional and high-speed planar PIV, with sampling frequencies of 8 Hz and 1 kHz, respectively. Large asymmetrically coherent flow structures, which fluctuate at frequencies below 2 Hz, are observed in the results of highspeed PIV measurements, whereas conventional PIV is unable to capture these features of the flow owing to aliasing. This flow pattern with a laterally swaying motion is represented by opposite signs of cross-correlation coefficients of streamwise velocity fluctuations for the two sides of the car model. Effects of two aerodynamic devices that are known to reduce the fluctuation levels of the aerodynamic loads are then extensively investigated. The correlation analyses reveal that these devices indeed reduce the fluctuation levels of the flow and the correlation values around the rear combination-lamp, but it is found that the effects of these devices are different around the c-pillar.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KronhardtAlexopoulosReisseletal.2015, author = {Kronhardt, Valentina and Alexopoulos, Spiros and Reißel, Martin and Latzke, Markus and Rendon, C. and Sattler, Johannes Christoph and Herrmann, Ulf}, title = {Simulation of operational management for the Solar Thermal Test and Demonstration Power Plant J{\"u}lich using optimized control strategies of the storage system}, series = {Energy procedia}, booktitle = {Energy procedia}, issn = {1876-6102}, pages = {1 -- 6}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FrotscherDuongStaat2015, author = {Frotscher, Ralf and Duong, Minh Tuan and Staat, Manfred}, title = {Simulating beating cardiomyocytes with electromechanical coupling}, series = {II.

Collaboration between researchers allow for the integration of experience and specialization, to allow optimized systems. Collaboration between the European countries and South Africa is critical, as each country has different resources available, which the other countries might not have. Applications with the need for approval of any restrictions, can also be obtained easier in some countries compared to others, thus preventing the delays of research.
