Abstract

Computing and communication technologies impact energy systems in two<br>distinct ways&#046; The exponential growth in deployment of these<br>technologies has made them large&#8211;scale energy consumers&#046; Therefore,<br>new architectures, technologies and systems are being developed and<br>deployed to make computing and networked system more energy efficient&#046;<br>Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, these technologies are at<br>the center of the on&#8211;going revolution in next&#8211;generation &#8242;smart&#8242; and<br>sustainable energy systems&#046; 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&#046;<br>The fourth International Conference on Future Energy Systems (ACM<br>e&#8211;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&#8211;efficient computing and communication systems&#046; By<br>bringing together researchers in a high&#8211;quality single&#8211;track<br>conference with significant opportunities for individual and<br>small&#8211;group interaction, it will serve as a major forum for<br>presentations and discussions that will shape the future of this area&#046;<br>We solicit high&#8211;quality papers in the area of computing and<br>communication for the Smart Grid and energy&#8211;efficient computing and<br>communications&#046; We welcome submissions describing theoretical advances<br>as well as system design, implementation and experimentation&#046; ACM<br>e&#8211;Energy is committed to a fair, timely, and thorough review process<br>providing authors of submitted papers with sound and detailed<br>feedback&#046;<br>Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to the<br>following:<br>&#8211; Advances in monitoring and control of smart homes and buildings<br>&#8211; Sensing, monitoring, control, and management of energy systems<br>&#8211; Energy&#8211;efficient computing and communication, including<br>energy&#8211;efficient data centers<br>&#8211; The impact of storage integration on the smart grid<br>&#8211; Electric Vehicle monitoring and control<br>&#8211; Distribution and transmission network control techniques<br>&#8211; Microgrid and distributed generation management and control<br>&#8211; Modeling, control, and architectures for renewable energy generation resources<br>&#8211; Smart grid communication architectures and protocols<br>&#8211; Privacy and security of smart grid infrastructure<br>&#8211; Innovative pricing and incentives for demand&#8211;side management<br>&#8211; Novel technologies to enhance reliability and robustness of energy systems<br>&#8211; HCI for energy monitoring, management, and awareness<br>&#8211; User studies and behavioral change enabled by computing and<br>communication technologies<br>&#8211; Data analytics for the smart grid and energy&#8211;efficient systems<br>
