-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP Workshop Multi-agent Based Applications for Sustainable Energy Systems (MASSES), 11th Conference on Practical Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (PAAMS), Salamanca (Spain), 22nd-24th May, 2013 Date: Sun, 18 Nov 2012 16:55:13 +0100 From: Rainer Unland <rainer.unland(a)icb.uni-due.de> Organization: University Duisburg-Essen To: undisclosed-recipients:; *First Workshop on Multi-agent Based Applications for Sustainable Energy Systems (MASSES) * *as part of* *11th Conference on Practical Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (PAAMS)* *Salamanca (Spain), 22nd-24th May, 2013 * *Important dates* Submission date17 December Notification date28 January Paper ready deadline25 February Conference dates22-24 May, 2013 *Workshop motivation and topics* After the explicit commitment of many countries to support the installation and management of often small renewable energy production sources the old energy grids need to be upgraded to a much more intelligent and flexible grid, not only for electricity but also for gas and heat. Such so called smart grids most likely need to rely on decentralized control and a highly efficient, fast, flexible and reliable management. This requires smart grids to be capable of autonomously and intelligently configuring themselves to make the most efficient use of available resources, to be robust to all kinds of failures and energy production deviations, and to be extendable and adaptable in the face of rapidly changing technologies and requirements. The distributed nature of these systems, and the autonomous behaviour expected of them, points towards multi-agent systems as a possible foundation for the realisation of the management software for such grids. While a lot has to happen on the energy production and provision level the house of the future as well as the transportation means of the future need to be smoothly integrated in such a smart grid concept as well which means that houses need to be smart as well. Thus, the focus of this workshop is on applications of multi-agent systems technology in smart grids and smart homes. Examples of areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: .Agent-based prediction, adaption and optimization of energy use within homes, buildings, organisations and micro-grids .Multi-agent based simulations of energy grids and markets .Coalition formation strategies for coordinated energy use across multiple consumers, forming virtual power stations, and performing intelligent demand management. .Experiences with MAS-based Smart Grid implementations .Applications of MAS-based Smart Grid technologies .MAS-based real time adaptation of energy networks .MAS-based self-configuration or self-healing of energy systems .MAS-based load modelling and control .MAS-based applications for electrical vehicles .MAS-based control and management of electrical car fleets .Interactions and exchange between networks for electricity, gas and heat .MAS-based smart home (building) applications and services .MAS-based control and management of smart homes .MAS-based control and management of appliances .MAS-based control and management of smart homes .MAS-based commercial and industrial applications for smart homes *Structure of MASSES* MASSE will be a full-day workshop and will include several presentation sessions for the accepted paper as well as invited papers on topics of overall interest in order to kick off intense and lively discussions. It is intended to end the workshop with a panel/discussion round in which the relevant results of the workshop will be discussed. *Review Process* Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 Program Committee members. Selection criteria will include: relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, quality of presentation, practical applicability. Some preference may also be given to papers which address emergent trends or important common themes. In general, papers to be acceptable, must be of substantial relevance for the multi-agent systems research community. *Journal publication of excellent papers* It is intended to invite authors of excellent papers to submit an extended version of their paper to either the IOS Multiagent and Grid Systems journal (MAGS). This journal has a high reputation and is often classified as a B-class journal. If enough high quality papers will be submitted it is planned to publish them as a special issue, otherwise as regular papers; or Springer's Transactions on Computational Collective Intelligence. This new journal focuses on research in applications of the computer-based methods of Computational Collective Intelligence (CCI) and their applications in a wide range of fields such as semantic web, social networks and multi-agent systems. *Workshop organisers/PC Chairs* Giancarlo Fortino, University of Calabria, Italy Ryszard Kowalczyk, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia Rainer Unland (primary contact), University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany, Rainer.Unland at icb.uni-due.de *Program Committee* t.b.c. -- "Experience is this valuable asset which allows us to identify the mistake immediately when we are doing it again and again!"

Moreover there is a noticeable spillover within other industries (e.g. manufacturing) enabling new business models: companies bundle their physical products and software services into solutions (e.g. using subscription models) and start to sell independent software products in addition to physical products.Software business refers to commercial activities in and around the software industry, aimed at generating income from the delivery of software products and software services. Although the software business shares common features with other international knowledge-intensive businesses, it carries many inherent features making it a challenging domain for research. In particular software companies have to depend on one another to deliver a unique value proposition to their customers. Moreover recent developments like the emerging app economy offer a variety of opportunities for entrepreneurs or start-up companies. ICSOB 2013 addresses researchers and practitioners, who are concerned with software business in different ways as well as the start-up community, which is increasingly focusing on mobile and social software.

The dg.o conferences are an established forum for presentation, discussion, and demonstration of interdisciplinary e-Government research, technology innovation, applications, and practice. Each year the conference combines: ·Presentations of effective partnerships and collaborations among government professionals and agencies, university researchers, relevant businesses, and NGOs, as well as grassroots citizen groups, to advance the practice of e-Government. ·Presentations and discussions on new research on e-Government as an interdisciplinary domain that lies at the intersections of information technology research, social and behavioural science research, and the challenges and missions of government. ·A showcase of e-Government projects, implementations, and initiatives that bring together the research and practitioner communities, demonstrate the effectiveness and/or challenges of e-Government, and offer best practices. Governments today face unprecedented opportunities and challenges. New technologies provide governments with the opportunity to redefine the relationship between government and the public that they serve, create innovative and customer-focused services, encourage transparency, promote participatory democracy, facilitate the co-design of services, form new partnerships in service delivery, streamline operations and reduce costs, and build trust in government. But harnessing and implementing technologies effectively raises a number of policy, technology, and governance challenges.This year, the conference program will focus on research and practice related to the adoption of smart technologies by governments, citizens as well as private and non-profit organizations. More and more, the adoption of smart technologies by individuals and organizations is opening new opportunities for creating public-private partnerships to improve current government services as well as to create new, innovative ones. Submissions addressing this theme could include but are not limited to:smart technologies for governments, semantic technologies for e-government, web services applications, open and transparent government; social media and public participation; effective use of social media by governments; crowd sourcing for government decision making; transformative government; models of collaboration among government, industry, NGOs, and citizens; data integration, visualizations, and analytics for government decision making; agile and flexible government; financial/economic/social policy making; policy and governance issues that enable, facilitate, and promote smart government; government productivity and effectiveness; service quality and customer-centric e-Government; social and health infrastructure; global government collaboration models and practices; infrastructure for data sharing among government agencies; computing infrastructure models, cyber-security and project management; IT-enabled government management and operations, and interest in program execution; IT and tools to support government security; and methods to measure and evaluate success in e-Government. In addition, we welcome submissions from the broader domain of digital government research. We invite completed research papers, papers describing management and practice, policy and case studies, on-going research posters, and live demonstrations that demonstrate the use of technology to promote innovative e-Government services. We particularly encourage submissions on interdisciplinary and crosscutting topics. We also encourage the submission of suggestions for panels, and pre-conference tutorials and workshops. Accepted papers are published in the ACM Proceedings Digital Library, and selected papers will appear in leading journals such as /Government Information Quarterly /and/Information Polity./ The conference has six thematic tracks, which accept full research papers as well as management case studies and policy papers (see below for paper submission types), and one track for panel proposals. Each track has two co-chairs who are responsible for managing the submission and review process for their track. The conference also accepts work in progress and short descriptions of applications on any topic. We also welcome proposals for workshops and tutorials, which can be submitted directly to the Easychair system. Feel free to get in contact with any track chairs for guidance. *Track 1. Social Media and Government* /Track chairs: Rodrigo Sandoval and Andrea Kavanaugh/ Social media use in public administration has been growing rapidly around the world. Since the launch of web 2.0 many governments and public officials use new online tools to communicate among themselves, with other organizations and with their constituents. This growing use has created new challenges for government users (e.g., regulations, policies), and an overwhelming increase in messages and other communications from citizens that are difficult to accommodate. These outcomes have started changing government interaction among their own personnel and with citizens and other agencies. *Track 2. Transformation and Open Government* /Track chair: Marijn Janssen, Natalie Helbig and Vishanth Weerakkody/ Many governments are working toward a vision of government-wide transformation that strives to achieve an open, transparent, accountable government while providing demand-driven services.. To be successful in this vision fundamental changes are necessary in practice and new research that examines governments as open systems seeking participation and interaction with their environment is needed. The track solicits papers addressing the issue of public sector transformation between government and the environment. *Track 3. Emerging Topics* /Track chairs: John C. Bertot, Paul Jaeger and Chris Reddick/ Digital government, both as an academic discipline and in practice, continues to evolve. As new technologies, big data applications, policies, and management practices develop; governments seek ways in which to provide innovative, smart, and transformational government services. The Emerging Topics track seeks submissions that provide insights into emerging digital government research and practice. *Track 4. Organizational Factors, Adoption Issues and Digital Government Impacts* /Track chair: Chris Hinnant and Theresa A. Pardo/ Over the past decade, many public organizations have adopted information and communication technologies (ICT) to facilitate communication and transactions with many stakeholders such as residents, private sector businesses, non-profit organizations, and other government agencies. While recent digital government research has often focused on understanding the external impacts of ICT adoption by government, the adoption and implementation of new ICT by public organizations is influenced by organizational factors such as the availability of resources (i.e. funding, technological knowledge, and personnel), managerial leadership, and the organization's technological culture. This track solicits research that examines the organizational factors that influence the adoption and implementation of new ICT as well as the impact of new ICT on the organizational processes, effectiveness, and innovativeness of public organizations. *Track 5. Smart Government Technologies* /Track chair: Soon Ae Chun, Tomasz Janowski/ Smart government is achieved through innovation, transformation and re-structuring in policies, strategies, and technologies to create improved public sector process efficiency and service integration and delivery, and to support better decision making and collaboration with the public. Intelligent systems, new platforms for communication and collaboration, data collection, sharing and analytics, shared services, sensors and ubiquitous computing are all the key ingredients to transform the government that benefit the public and business, and to improve the quality of life. This track aims to facilitate theoretical and practical discussions on approaches towards smart government, smart cities, smart community, and smart citizens by technology and policy innovations in the area of energy, transport, health, public safety, buildings, urban planning, environment, business and others. *Track 6. Smart Cities and Smart Work* /Track Chairs: Jungwoo Lee and J. Ramon Gil-Garcia/ World population is increasingly concentrating in cities. People work and live in and around cities and information technologies have transformed their lives as well as the public and private services being provided to them. Therefore, smart cities and smart work could be considered highly interrelated and, actually, two sides of the same coin. City administrators are facing daunting tasks in order to accommodate emerging characteristics of urban life and promote better quality of life and improved work life balance, while enhancing efficiency and effectiveness of administrative services. This track invites theoretical and empirical papers concerning smart cities and smart work. Suggested topics include but are not limited to the followings: smart city services, ICT driven city development, cooperative policy development, participative governance, novel service typologies of smart ubiquitous cities, community forums for service development, spaces and mediated presence, smart work centers, telecommuting, flextime, mobile work, quality of city life, work life balance, urban mobile learning, creative cooperatives, skill changes of labor force, and urban human capital management. *Track 7. Panels* /Track chair: Teresa Harrison, Jana Hrdinova/ Panel proposals may address themes or topics related to any of the tracks for the conference. Additionally, we welcome panel proposals that put a spotlight on practice and application. Proposals from practitioners at all levels of government featuring experiences with, perspectives on, and evaluations of digital government practice are encouraged. Individuals interested in submitting panel proposals are invited to consult the panel co-chairs about their ideas prior to developing their submissions. *IMPORTANT DATES* ·*February**1, 2013 -*Papers, workshops, tutorials, and panel proposals due ·*March**15, 2013 - Application deadline for 2013 Doctoral Colloquium* ·March 15, 2013 - Papers, workshops, tutorials, and panel proposals notifications ·March 30, 2013 - Posters and demo proposals due ·April 15, 2013 - Camera-ready manuscripts due ·April 15, 2013 - Notification for acceptance into 2012 Doctoral Colloquium ·April 15, 2013 - Poster and demo acceptance notifications ·*May **6 , 2013 - Conference hotel block closes*- make your bookings before this deadline! ·*May 15, 2013 - Early registration closes!* ·*June 17-20, 2013 - Dg.o 2013 conference!* *SUBMISSION TYPES AND FORMATS* ·Research papers (maximum of 10 pages) ·Management, Case Study, or Policy papers (maximum of 6 pages) ·Panel descriptions (maximum of 4 pages) ·Posters (maximum of 2 pages) ·System demonstrations (maximum of 2 pages) ·Pre-Conference tutorial proposals (maximum of 2 pages) ·Pre-Conference workshop proposals (maximum of 2 pages) ·Doctoral colloquium application (maximum of 10 pages) Submissions must not exceed the maximum number of pages specified for each type of submission in camera-ready _ACM Proceedings format <https://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates>_(double column, single spaced pages).
