-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: FW: ACM BuildSys 2017 Call for Paper (2 weeks from now) Datum: Thu, 25 May 2017 13:44:07 +0000 Von: 黃寶儀 pollyhuang@ntu.edu.tw An: owner-tci-announce@computer.org
-- Our sincere apologies if you receive duplicates of the call --
============================================== Dear Colleagues,
Please see below the Call for Papers for ACM BuildSys 2017. We enthusiastically look forward to your submissions on advancements in systems for any aspect of the built environment. Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email.
BuildSys has established itself as the premier conference for researchers and practitioners working to develop and optimize smart infrastructure systems that are driven by sensing, computing, and control functions. The review process is very thorough, and publications are considered to have the same value as journal publications in engineering fields.
November 8-9, 2017 Delft, The Netherlands | co-located with ACM SenSys 2017 http://buildsys.acm.org/2017/
Important Dates: Abstract Registration: June 9, 2017 (11:59 PM AoE) Paper Submission Deadline: June 16, 2017 (11:59 PM AoE) Acceptance Notification: August 18, 2017 Camera-Ready Deadline: September, 2017 Conference Dates: November 8-9, 2017
** For the abstract registration, you only need to enter the title of the paper, the list of authors and their email addresses, the PC conflicts, and a brief abstract (~150-250 words). After registering the paper's abstract, you will have an additional week to upload the PDF file of the paper (either a 10-page Full paper or a 4-page Notes paper).
Advances in the effective integration of networked sensors, building controls, and physical infrastructure are transforming our society, allowing the formation of unprecedented built environments and interlocking physical, social, cyber challenges. Built environments, including buildings and critical urban infrastructure, account for over half of society’s energy consumption and are the mainstay of our nation’s economy, security and health. As a result, there is a broad recognition that systems optimizing explicitly for the built environment are particularly important in improving our society, e.g., by increasing its sustainability and enhancing people’s quality-of-life. These systems represent the foundation for emerging “smart cities”.
The 4th ACM International Conference on Systems for Energy-Efficient Built Environments (BuildSys 2017) will be held November 8-9, 2017 at Delft, The Netherlands. We invite original contributions in the areas of intelligent systems and applications for the built environment. BuildSys particularly emphasizes approaches that improve energy efficiency, reduce costs, increase performance, and add novel functionality for improving users’ comfort and experience. BuildSys’ scope is broad, encompassing all systems within the built environment of the urban fabric, including not only buildings but also critical infrastructure systems, such as water, power, lighting, communications, and transportation that will make up the “smart cities” of the future.
Submission Types: We solicit three types of original submissions: * Regular papers for oral presentation (10 pages) * Notes papers for oral presentation (4 pages) * Technical posters and demos will be solicited via a separate call (2 pages)
Topics: Papers are invited in all emerging aspects of information-driven systems for the built environment. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: · Applications in smart and connected communities; · Sensing and control for urban infrastructure systems; · Novel sensor methodologies, techniques, and tools; · Sensing and control of electrical, gas, and water loads; · Improved user interfaces to built infrastructure; · Modeling, simulation, optimization, and control of heating, cooling, lighting, ventilation, water usage and other resource flows in built environments; · Sensor systems and applications that enhance energy efficiency, energy reliability, durability and comfort; · Systems that integrate infrastructure with the smart grid to offer demand response and ancillary services; · Distributed generation, alternative energy, renewable sources, and energy storage in buildings; · Emerging standards for data collection, energy control, or interoperability of disparate devices or systems; · Sensing, modeling, and predicting the urban heartbeat including sounds, movements, and radio spectrum; · Human in the loop sensing and control for efficient usage of electricity, gas, heating, water; · Sensor systems for reliable occupancy counting; · Long-lived and energy harvesting sensor systems; · Scalable indoor localization and contextual computing; · Security, privacy, safety, and reliability in built systems; · Empirical studies of city-scale wireless communications.
