------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS - SPECIAL ISSUE OF INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL INTEGRATED COMPUTER-AIDED ENGINEERING (Founded in 1993) on Multi-agent Systems for Energy Management

http://home.dei.polimi.it/amigoni/research/ICAE-MASfEM.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Guest Editors: Francesco Amigoni, Maria Gini, and Wolfgang Ketter francesco.amigoni@polimi.it, gini@cs.umn.edu, wketter@rsm.nl

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Software agents are inherently distributed systems that offer a convenient way of modeling processes that are distributed over space and time. The combination of distributed and coordinated autonomy makes agent-based systems well-suited for a wide variety of problems in energy management. Areas of interest for the special issue cover the full spectrum of agent- related topics applied to energy management. All aspects of energy management, from energy production to transport and distribution networks, to fault tolerance, to price modeling for energy prices are of interest. Papers are solicited specifically in the following areas:

* agents for supporting production, transport, and distribution of energy * agents for energy management of data centers, office buildings, homes, spacecrafts, sensor networks, etc. * agents for real-time management of the power grid * agent-based price modeling for energy sources * fault management of electricity transport networks * agents for software for energy management systems

Innovative ideas, theoretical results, field based studies, and experimental results in real applications are of interest. Both practical and theoretical work is welcome.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

ICAE is a scholarly research journal with a primary focus on novel computational modeling. Authors are invited to contact the Guest Editors and indicate their intent to submit a paper for possible publication in the special issue as soon as possible. All papers will be peer-reviewed for originality by at least 3 referees on the journal's standard review form. Submission of a manuscript implies that it is the author's original unpublished work and the manuscript or any variation of it has not been submitted for publication elsewhere previously.

Please email the pdf file of your original manuscript by ----> October 30, 2009 <---- to the Guest Editors and the Editor-in-Chief, Hojjat Adeli, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Geodetic Science, The Ohio State University, 470 Hitchcock Hall, 2070 Neil Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43210, USA.
