Preliminary Call for Papers
ACM e-Energy 2015
The Sixth International Conference on Future Energy Systems http://conferences.sigcomm.org/eenergy/2015/
Bangalore, India
June 2015 (Exact date TBC)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As countries round the world rally to reduce their carbon emissions in the face of rising energy costs, there is a growing need to research computing and communication technologies that will support smarter and more sustainable energy solutions (e.g., Smart Grid). Such technologies, measure, monitor and control energy systems (e.g., micro-grids and electric vehicles); inform and shape human demand; aid in the prediction, deployment, storage and control of energy resources; and determine how utilities, generators, regulators, and consumers measure, analyze, and collectively control system elements. In turn, the exponential growth in the deployment of communication and computing technologies has made them large-scale energy consumers. Therefore, new architectures, technologies and systems are being developed and deployed to make computing and networked system more energy efficient.
The Sixth International Conference on Future Energy Systems (ACM e-Energy), to be held in Bangalore, India in June 2015, aims to be the premier venue for researchers working in the broad areas of computing and communication for smart energy systems (including the smart grid), and in energy-efficient computing and communication systems. By bringing together researchers from a range of disciplines in a high-quality single-track conference with significant opportunities for individual and small-group interaction, it will serve as a major forum for presentations and discussions that will shape the future of this area.
We solicit high-quality papers in the areas of computing and communication for the Smart Grid and energy-efficient computing and communications. We welcome submissions describing theoretical advances as well as system design, implementation and experimentation. ACM e-Energy is committed to a fair, timely, and thorough review process providing authors of submitted papers with sound and detailed feedback.
Topics covered:
---------------
. Advances in monitoring and control of smart homes and buildings
. Sensing, monitoring, control, and management of energy systems
. Energy-efficient computing and communication, including energy- efficient data centers
. The impact of storage integration on the smart grid
. Electric Vehicle monitoring and control
. Distribution and transmission network control techniques
. Microgrid and distributed generation management and control
. Modeling, control, and architectures for renewable energy generation resources
. Smart grid communication architectures and protocols
. Privacy and security of smart grid infrastructure
. Innovative pricing and incentives for demand-side management
. Novel technologies to enhance reliability and robustness of energy systems
. HCI for energy monitoring, management, and awareness
. User studies and behavioral change enabled by computing and communication technologies
. Data analytics for the smart grid and energy-efficient systems
Submissions:
------------
Two type of contributions are solicited:
. Full papers, up to 12 pages in ACM double-column format, should present original theoretical and/or experimental research in any of the areas listed above that has not been previously published, accepted for publication, or is not currently under review by another conference or journal.
.. Poster/demo descriptions, up to 2 pages in ACM double-column format showcasing works-in-progress; accepted posters/demos will be presented at the conference. Topics of interest are the same as research topics listed above. Preference will be given to posters/demos where the primary contribution is from one or more students.
Papers will be judged in terms of technical quality and originality.
