[agents] Call for Papers | DACH+ Conference and Doctoral Workshop on Energy Informatics | Deadline extended

[DACH+ Energy Informatics 2021]

Dear DACH+ Energy Informatics Community,

Please find attached the updated Call for Papers for this year’s edition 
of the DACH+ Conference on Energy Informatics, taking place during 13-17 
September 2021 **ONLINE**. You can also find the text below and under 
https://energy-informatics2021.org/call-for-papers/. We would be 
grateful if you would further circulate this call.

As a good tradition from the last years, the Doctoral Workshop on Energy 
Informatics is co-located with the DACH+ Conference. The CfP is also 
attached. Please spread this information to doctoral students that might 
benefit from the workshop’s signature feature of shepherding process and 
intense discussion.

Best regards on behalf of the organizers,
Anke Weidlich – General Chair
Ramiz Qussous & Nick Harder – Publicity Chairs
Dirk Neumann, Philipp Staudt & Gunther Gust – TPC Chairs
Astrid Nieße – Doctoral Workshop Chair


*** *Energy Informatics 2021 -- Call for Papers ****
The European Union intends to reduce its emissions by 55% in 2030 and 
aims to be climate neutral in 2050. This makes the integration of 
intermittent renewable power generation a question of growing 
importance. Simultaneously, new demand side resources are added both at 
the transmission level with newly installed large electrolysers and at 
the distribution level with a sharp increase in numbers of electric 
vehicles and heat pumps. Bridging the intermittency of generation and 
the load of new (flexible) consumers can only succeed through ICT and 
related concepts.

The objective of the DACH+ conference series on Energy Informatics is to 
promote the research, development, and implementation of information and 
communication technologies in the energy domain and to foster the 
exchange between academia, industry, and service providers in the 
German-Austrian-Swiss region and its neighbouring countries (DACH+).

We seek high-quality original contributions addressing the design, 
adoption, operation and management of smart energy systems, the 
integration of intermittent renewable generation and energy efficiency 
gains through ICT, market approaches and mechanisms for ICT-enabled 
energy systems, and research on associated (decentralised) data-driven 
decisions. We welcome theoretical contributions as well as publications 
addressing system design, implementation, and experimentation. The list 
of topics of interest to the conference includes, but is not limited to:

  * ICT for future energy systems, sector coupling and the integration
    of intermittent renewable generation
  * Information and decision support systems for future energy markets
    and mechanisms
  * Energy system modelling
  * Protocols and architectures for IT systems in the energy sector
  * Data analytics and machine learning for smart energy systems and
    decentralised decision making, as well as platforms for data analysis
  * Open data and software for energy research
  * Management of distributed generation and demand side management
  * ICT for (multi-) energy networks and micro-grids
  * Energy-efficient mobility, charging management for electric
    vehicles, energy-aware traffic control, and smart grid integration
    of mobile storage
  * Smart buildings, digital metering, occupant comfort, and user
    interaction
  * Adoption of ICT in the energy sector
  * Cross-cutting issues including cyber security and privacy
    protection, interoperability, verification of networked smart grid
    systems
