This intent necessitates a massive increase in renewable power generation and the electrification of energy demand through sector coupling (e.g., heat and mobility). Over the last year, for example, the DACH countries have created roadmaps to establish hydrogen as an additional sustainable energy carrier. Energy informatics contributes to solving many of the challenges of this energy transition, by connecting various decentralized resources and by operating them intelligently.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=en-DE>The objective of the DACH+ conference series on Energy Informatics is to promote 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+).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=en-DE>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:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=en-DE>• ICT for future energy systems, sector coupling and the integration of intermittent renewable generation<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=en-DE>• Information and decision support systems for future energy markets and mechanisms<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=en-DE>• Energy system modelling and (open) energy system data<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=en-DE>• Protocols and architectures for IT systems in the energy sector<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=en-DE>• Data analytics and machine learning for smart energy systems and decentralised decision making, as well as platforms for data analysis<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=en-DE>• Open data and software for energy research<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=en-DE>• Management of distributed generation and demand side management<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=en-DE>• ICT for (multi-) energy networks and micro-grids<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=en-DE>• Energy-efficient mobility, charging management for electric vehicles, energy-aware traffic control, and smart grid integration of mobile storage<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=en-DE>• Smart buildings, digital metering, occupant comfort, and user interaction<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=en-DE>• Adoption of ICT in the energy sector<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=en-DE>• Cross-cutting issues including cyber security and privacy protection, interoperability, verification of networked smart grid systems<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=en-DE>*** Important Dates ***<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=en-DE>• Paper, poster & demo submission: Apr 22, 2022<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=en-DE>• Notification: Jun 6, 2022<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=en-DE>• Camera-ready paper due: Jun 24, 2022<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=en-DE>• Doctoral Workshop: Sep 13-14, 2022<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=en-DE>• Conference: Sep 15-16, 2022<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=en-DE>*** Posters, Demos and Workshops ***<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=en-DE>Submissions for posters, demos, and workshop suggestions are welcome, too.
