[agents] Final CFP ACM E-ENERGY 2014 (Note:extended deadline)

Call for Papers: Deadline extended: January 24th, 2014

ACM e-Energy 2014
Cambridge, UK, June 11-13 2014
Computing and  communication  technologies  impact  energy  systems  in  two distinct ways. The exponential growth in deployment  of  these  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. Additionally, and  perhaps  more
importantly,  these  technologies  are  at  the  center  of   the   on-going
revolution in next-generation "smart" and sustainable energy  systems.  They measure, monitor and control energy systems such as the smart  grid;  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.

The fifth International Conference on Future Energy Systems (ACM  e-Energy), to be held in Cambridge UK in June 2014, 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  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 area 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.

Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to the
following:

. 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

. Modeling, management and control of variability and uncertainty in energy supply and demand

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.
