CALL FOR PAPERS Second IEEE Workshop on Pervasive Energy Services (PerEnergy 2016) in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2016

Submission Deadline: November 27, 2015

March 14-18, 2016, Sydney, Australia http://perenergy2016.cs.uni-bonn.de/

======================================================================

Scope of the Workshop ---------------------

A wealth of unexplored knowledge exists in the power data collected from smart meters and smart plugs (i.e., metering equipment for individual wall outlets). Analysis of the data may be used to provide context-based services (e.g., presence detection), but also serves as the foundation for novel services (e.g. automated recommendations for energy savings). To date, the potential of this domain has barely been explored, although more and more energy data is becoming available due to the increasing number of deployed smart metering equipment. At the moment, one of the most important research challenges in smart energy systems is thus the creation of value-added services that exploit the information content in energy generation and consumption data such that they can inspire new functionalities and context models.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations of recent advances in the numerous opportunities opened up by the use of energy data in context-aware systems. It furthermore serves as a forum for the smart energy research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions, and future development of smart energy management systems.

Topics of Interest ------------------

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Distributed infrastructures for collecting energy data and relevant context information - Experiences with experimental power metering system prototypes and pilots - Novel system architectures for pervasive energy services - Scalable system concepts and algorithms for processing and analyzing energy data - Exploitation of energy data and context information for the optimized control of distributed loads and energy sources (in particular, renewable sources) - Energy services for smart home and office spaces, including energy optimization and sustainable operation of smart cities, load disaggregation, generation and load forecasting, and informed load shifting - Use cases and user studies of pervasive energy services highlighting research gaps - Experiences with prototypes and pilots of smart energy applications and services - Privacy, safety, and security in pervasive energy services - Experiences with energy metering installations and data sets for the comparison of consumer characteristics in a globalized world - Energy meter integration in the design and architecture of smart home and office spaces

Submission Instructions -----------------------

Authors are invited to submit regular (full) papers for presentation at the workshop, describing original, previously unpublished work, which is not currently under review by another workshop, conference, or journal. Regular papers should present novel perspectives within the general scope of the workshop. Submissions of papers must be formatted according to the IEEE 8.5x11 conference format and must not exceed 6 pages. Papers in excess of page limits shall not be considered for review or publication.

Accepted papers will appear in the IEEE PerCom '16 Workshops proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press. The authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop. Each accepted paper requires a full PERCOM registration to appear in the proceedings (no registration is available for workshops only).
