Computing and communication technologies impact energy systems in two<br>distinct ways. The exponential growth in deployment of these<br>technologies has made them large–scale energy consumers. Therefore,<br>new architectures, technologies and systems are being developed and<br>deployed to make computing and networked system more energy efficient.<br>Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, these technologies are at<br>the center of the on–going revolution in next–generation ′smart′ and<br>sustainable energy systems. They measure, monitor and control energy<br>systems such as the smart grid; inform and shape human demand; aid in<br>the prediction, deployment, storage and control of energy resources;<br>and determine how utilities, generators, regulators, and consumers<br>measure, analyze, and collectively control system elements.<br>The fourth International Conference on Future Energy Systems (ACM<br>e–Energy), to be held in Berkeley, CA in May 2013, aims to be the<br>premier venue for researchers working in the broad areas of computing<br>and communication for smart energy systems (including the smart grid),<br>and in energy–efficient computing and communication systems. By<br>bringing together researchers in a high–quality single–track<br>conference with significant opportunities for individual and<br>small–group interaction, it will serve as a major forum for<br>presentations and discussions that will shape the future of this area.<br>We solicit high–quality papers in the area of computing and<br>communication for the Smart Grid and energy–efficient computing and<br>communications. We welcome submissions describing theoretical advances<br>as well as system design, implementation and experimentation. ACM<br>e–Energy is committed to a fair, timely, and thorough review process<br>providing authors of submitted papers with sound and detailed<br>feedback.<br>Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to the<br>following:<br>– Advances in monitoring and control of smart homes and buildings<br>– Sensing, monitoring, control, and management of energy systems<br>– Energy–efficient computing and communication, including<br>energy–efficient data centers<br>– The impact of storage integration on the smart grid<br>– Electric Vehicle monitoring and control<br>– Distribution and transmission network control techniques<br>– Microgrid and distributed generation management and control<br>– Modeling, control, and architectures for renewable energy generation resources<br>– Smart grid communication architectures and protocols<br>– Privacy and security of smart grid infrastructure<br>– Innovative pricing and incentives for demand–side management<br>– Novel technologies to enhance reliability and robustness of energy systems<br>– HCI for energy monitoring, management, and awareness<br>– User studies and behavioral change enabled by computing and<br>communication technologies<br>– Data analytics for the smart grid and energy–efficient systems<br>
