Call for Papers

Camera-ready submission

Please submit your camera-ready submission before April, 26th via the hotcrp-site. Submissions later than that will not be available to participants of the conference.

Please note that for the *long/short* camera-ready submission, you can submit up to *10/5* pages in ACM double-column format for the main body of the paper (i.e., everything excluding appendix and references) and unlimited pages for appendix and references.

Please use the ACM master template at: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template

During the final submission, hotcrp will ask you to complete the ACM-eRights form – after which you will receive DOI/ISBN/citation information for your paper.

Each accepted paper/poster must be presented by one of its author(s) at ACM e-Energy 2017 conference or workshop. The author must register for the corresponding event according to his/her membership status: e.g. for a student author presenting a paper/poster, he/she only needs to register under the student category.

Computing and communication technologies impact energy systems in two distinct ways. The exponential growth of these technologies has made them large energy consumers. Therefore, new architectures, technologies and systems are being developed and deployed to make computing and networked system more energy efficient. Additionally, these technologies will play a central role in the on-going transformation of our energy systems. They help measure, monitor and control energy resources, inform and shape human demand, and determine how utilities, generators, regulators, and consumers interact. The Eighth International Conference on Future Energy Systems (ACM e-Energy), to be held in Hong Kong from 17th to 19th of May 2017, is the premier venue for researchers working in the broad areas of smart energy systems, and in energy-efficient computing and communications. By bringing together researchers in a single-track conference designed to offer significant opportunities for individual interaction, it is a major forum to shape the future of this area. We seek high-quality papers on smart energy systems and energy-efficient computing and communications. We welcome submissions describing conceptual advances as well as system design, implementation and experimentation. ACM e-Energy is committed to a fair, timely, and thorough review process with sound and detailed feedback. Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to the following:

Monitoring and control of energy systems and smart buildings
Energy-efficient computing and communication, including data centers
Electric vehicles and energy-efficient transportation systems
Control of distribution and transmission networks
Microgrid and distributed generation management and control
Distributed energy resources, including storage resources
Smart grid communication architectures and protocols
Privacy and security of smart grid infrastructure
Demand-side management, including innovative pricing and incentive design
User behavior enabled by computing and communication technologies
Data analytics for the smart grid and energy-efficient systems
Electricity market and electricity supply chain measurement, modeling, and analysis

Submissions

Two types of contributions are solicited:

Full papers, up to 10 pages in ACM double-column format for the main body of the paper (i.e., everything excluding references) and unlimited pages for appendices and references, should present original theoretical and/or experimental research in any of the areas listed above that has not been published, accepted for publication, or under review by another workshop, conference, or journal. The review of full papers will follow the standard doubleblind policy.
Poster/demo descriptions, up to 2 pages in ACM double-column format showcasing work in progress are encouraged. Accepted posters/demos will be showcased in a separate session 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. Industry participation is also encouraged.

The submission must be in PDF format and be formatted according to the official ACM Proceedings format. Papers that do not meet the size and formatting requirements may not be reviewed. Word and LaTeX templates are available at http://www.acm.org/publications/article-templates/proceedings-template.html.

Submissions are to be made via the paper submission website: https://eenergy17.hotcrp.com/
