TOPICS
=======================================

The SEN-MAS'16 Workshop aims at providing a forum for presenting and 
discussing recent advances and experiences in building and using 
multi-agent systems for modelling, simulation and management of smart 
energy networks. In particular, it includes (but is not limited to) the 
following topics of interest:

     Experiences of Smart Grid implementations by using MAS
     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 May 10, 2017 (strict deadline). Preprints 
will be published on a USB memory stick provided to the FedCSIS 
participants. Only papers presented during the conference will be 
submitted to the IEEE for inclusion in the Xplore Digital Library. 
Furthermore, proceedings, published in a volume with ISBN, ISSN and DOI 
numbers will posted at the conference WWW site. Moreover, most Events' 
organizers arrange quality journals, edited volumes, etc. and may invite 
selected extended and revised papers for post-conference publications 
(information can be found at the websites of individual events).
Extended versions of selected papers presented during the conference 
will be published as Special Issue(s) of:

- Scalable Computing; Practice and Experience
- Complex Adaptive Systems Modeling (publication fee waiver for the 
papers that are going to be selected is expected)
- Multiagent and Grid Systems
- Computer Science Journal (7 points in current ranking of MNiSW - this 
is something cryptic to the outsiders, but will be clear for scientists 
from Poland)
