- Applications of Smart Grid technologies
- Management of distributed generation and storage
- Islands Power Systems, Microgrid Applications
- Real time configurations of energy networks
- Distributed planning process for energy networks by using MAS
- Self-configuring or self-healing energy systems
- Load modelling and control with MAS
- Simulations of Smart Energy Networks
- Software Tools for Smart Energy Networks
- Energy Storage
- Electrical Vehicles
- Interactions and exchange between networks for electricity, gas and heat
- Stability in Energy Networks
- Distributed Optimization in Energy Networks

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
=======================================

Papers should be submitted by April 11, 2014. Preprints will be 
published on a USB memory stick given to FedCSIS participants. Papers 
presented during the conference will be published in the IEEE Xplore
