Note:

Actually we have planned and confirmed to have Prof. Christian Moormann (University of Stutgart) as the keynote speaker from the beginning of conference preparation. But unfortunately, we could not have any more contact with him since March 2015, although we have tried to contact him through institute and his research assistant.
We tried to find another Professors to replace Prof. Moormann, but unfortunately it was not successful. The reason is, that the time was to short. They had already the fixed Schedule.
