Workshop motivation
The climate
changes, the catastrophe in Fukushima, the recent biggest
blackout in history in India due to an overloaded electricity
grid or the dwindling oil reserves world-wide are some of the
manifold different reasons why countries massively increase
their efforts in shaping their future energy generation,
distribution, transportation and consumption, in short in
future smart Sustainable Energy Systems, Smart
Infrastructures, and Smart Environments. They are expected to be the enablers of a high
penetration of renewable energy, facilitate the wide adoption
of electrical vehicles, increase the awareness and the
involvement of the end-user in the energy scene, and
altogether contribute to create a sustainable lifestyle for
the eco-aware 21st century citizen. Although much
is still in a state of flux it is nevertheless commonly
accepted that existing energy systems, infrastructures,
environments, and business opportunities cannot simply be
adapted or extended to address the requirements of the next
generation of energy supply and consumption. Instead, a
fundamental re-engineering is required. Thus, all these prospected transformations also
bring with them numerous challenges and opportunities.
Regardless of whether and how the energy supply
will be designed and operated in the near future it is obvious
that the key enabler for a successful transformation of the
energy supply will be a meaningful and purposeful used ICT
infrastructure. New solutions will consolidate and represent
the combined knowledge and experience of different disciplines
as engineering, business management and economics and computer
science and, thus, contribute significantly to the
stabilisation of the energy supply and to the success of
involved companies. The IT backbone for such solutions will be
distributed, collaborative, autonomous and intelligent
software packages for simulation, monitoring, control and
optimization as well as appropriate data and business models,
reporting systems and maybe also mobile solutions.
Besides the
topic of future energy grids the
recent past was also dominated by the discussion about so
called smart cities and smart homes. A smart city uses
information and communication technologies (ICT) to enhance
quality, performance and interactivity of urban services. This
especially means that the contact between citizens and
government is eased and improved substantially with the aim to
equip inhabitants with more power, responsibility and easing
their life substantially from bureaucratic and useless tasks.
Another highly relevant goal is to reduce costs and resource
consumption. Smart cities will connect, utilize and optimize a
number of sectors including transport and traffic management,
energy consumption and management or water and waste issues.
However, they also need to rely on the next lower level of
abstraction, namely smart buildings and homes. This, however,
implies that smart grids, smart cities, smart buildings and
homes, and smart infrastructures need to be deeply integrated
in order to shape the smart overall energy environment of the
future. And that looks more like a revolution than an
evolution.
Thus, revolutionary papers are highly welcome
even if they are not too elaborated or too mature. This
workshop is not meant to rely on the presentation of mature
research results but wants to provide a lively environment
with a lot of even vague input for intensive and fruitful
discussions. For that, also shorter provocative statements and
ideas are very welcome.
Workshop topics
The
SESSISE workshop aims at providing an interdisciplinary forum for
presenting and discussing recent advances and experiences in
building and using new IT-based solutions for Sustainable
Energy Systems, Smart Infrastructures, and Smart Environments.
For this, the conference provides a forum for different
scientific disciplines. In particular, it includes (but is not
limited to) the following areas and topics of interest:
Smart Grids, Smart
Homes and Buildings, Smart Infrastructures
• Smart Energy Systems
• Energy Storage
• Microgrids
•
Decentralized Control Systems
•
Stability in Energy Grids
•
Distributed Optimization in Energy Networks
•
Self-aware, Self-configuring or Self-healing Energy
Systems
•
Simulation Environments for Smart Grids
•
Hybrid Energy Networks
•
Assistance Systems for Smart Energy control
• Integrated Infrastructures
• Development of Standards for Smart Grids
• Industry, Municipality and University Cooperation
• Sustainable Cities
• Zero Energy Cities and Buildings
Smart Data Handling
•
Alternative Data Storing and Proceeding Technologies
•
Big Data and Smart Energy Environments
•
Software Tools for Smart Energy Networks
•
Data Security
•
Data Structures and required Standards
•
Mobile Solutions for Smart Energy Environments
• ICT Services in Smart Grids/Smart Cities/Smart
Environments
Smart Markets, Trading and
Business models
•
Forecasts / Predictions
•
Management of distributed Energy Generation and Storage
•
Business Models for (hybrid) Energy Networks
•
Products and User Interfaces
•
Business Models and electronic marketplaces for Smart
Grids
•
Competition Analysis
•
Process Management
•
Electric Mobility
•
Solar Home Storage Systems
• End Users and Demand Response
Structure of SESSISE
SESSISE will be a one or two day
workshop and will include several presentation sessions for
the accepted paper as well as invited overview papers on
topics of overall interest in order to kick off intense and
lively discussions. It is intended to give much space for
lively discussions. The workshop is meant to end 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 (in all cases possible): relevance, significance,
impact, originality, quality of presentation, practical
applicability. It is not expected that the papers prohibit
mature research results. Good elaborated ideas, visions and
directions which may be starting point for more intensive
discussions are very welcome. The idea is less the
presentation of narrow, however, mature research but the
presentation of broader visions, possible solution spaces and
research directions, open fields for research, emergent
trends, etc.
Workshop proceedings
It is intended to publish revised
papers in post-proceedings of BIS 2017 workshops as a book by
Springer Publishing Company in the Lecture Notes in Business
Information Processing (LNBIP) series.
Journal publication of
excellent papers
It is intended to invite authors of
excellent papers to submit an extended version of their paper
to 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.
Submission guidelines
All
papers need to be formatted according to the Springer
formatting instructions:
Regular
papers:
up to 12 pages
Short
papers and Work-in-progress reports: up to 6 pages
Demo
papers:
up to 4 pages
Papers must be
written in English and need to be submitted in
PDF format.
Submission
system is available at EasyChair.
Original work approved for
presentation at SESSISE 2017 will be published in the BIS 2017
workshop post-conference proceedings, as a volume in
Springer's Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing
(LNBIP) series. BIS 2017 Workshops proceedings will be
distributed to workshop participants by regular mail.
Workshop
papers will be made available in electronic form by the BIS
organizers to all workshop participants (and only to them)
directly before the conference.
