Special Issue on Optimization Methods in Renewable Energy Systems Design
Renewable Energy Journal (5 year IF: 3.456)
INTRODUCTION
Sustainability is of great importance due to increasing demands and limited
resources worldwide. In particular, in the field of energy production and
consumption, methods are required that allow to produce energy in an
efficient way, as well as to develop methods for the efficient usage of
energy. The vast extension of energy sources and the growing information
structure allow a fine screening of energy resources, but also require the
development of tools for the analysis and understanding of huge datasets
about the energy grid. Key technologies in future ecological, economical
and reliable energy systems are energy prediction of renewable resources,
prediction of consumption as well as efficient planning and control
strategies for network stability.
To enable financially and ecologically viable projects, optimization
methods have taken over a key role for planning, optimizing and forecasting
sustainable systems. Typically, these approaches make use of domain
knowledge in order to achieve the required goal. Even in the case that
explicit domain knowledge is not available, specialized methods can also
handle large raw numerical sensory data directly, process them, generate
reliable and just-in-time responses, and have high fault tolerance.
The main goal of this Special Issue (SI) is to promote the research on
optimization methods for their application to the renewable energy
production and consumption domain.
TOPICS
We are seeking articles including (but not limited to):
- Algorithms for modeling, control, and optimization
- Prediction of wind and photovoltaic energy
- Prediction and monitoring of energy consumption
- Communication and control
- Demand side management
- Distributed energy resources
- Methods and algorithms for real-time analysis
- Planning, operation and control
- Plug-in vehicles
- Renewable energy
- Smart micro-grids

MSc Operational Research scholarships
Dept. of Management Science
Strathclyde Business School, Glasgow, UK
We have scholarships available for our full-time MSc Operational Research course in the academic year 2015/16. The studentships are fee-waiver only, covering the full fee of ?9,000 for UK and EU students. Students with UK/EU citizenship and resident in the UK/EU at least in the last 3 years are eligible to apply. Students with any other nationality are eligible to apply only if they are settled in the UK (have "indefinite leave to remain"). We will award a number of studentships.
The applicants are strictly required to have a First Class Honours (undergraduate) degree, or equivalent (that is, a minimum 3.5 GPA in a 4.0 GPA system, or a minimum 90% average, or a minimum average of A- in a letter system). Applicants should have their degree in a numerical subject, including but not limited to Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Engineering and Economics. Applicants should also upload with their scholarship application, a personal statement outlining their interest in the programme and scholarship award.
These scholarships are only open to those who hold an offer of a place on the MSc Operational Research course. Candidates must be self-funded (that is, not in receipt of any funding from any other scholarship, employer sponsorship etc.). Students already registered on the degree are ineligible.
Applications not satisfying eligibility requirements or not following the above guidelines will be disregarded. You can apply for a scholarship here http://www.strath.ac.uk/mansci/programmes/postgraduate/mscoperationalresearch/scholarships/
The application deadline is Friday 27 February 2015, 17:00 GMT.
Informal enquiries can be directed to sbs.admissions@strath.ac.uk.
For more information about the courses, please refer to:

CALL FOR PAPERS
2015 GENETIC AND EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION CONFERENCE (GECCO-2015)
ARTIFICIAL IMMUNE SYSTEMS AND ARTIFICIAL CHEMISTRIES (AIS+ACHEM) TRACK
July 11-15, 2015, Madrid, Spain
Organised by ACM SIGEVO
http://www.sigevo.org/gecco-2015
****************************************************************************************************
Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) is a diverse area of research that takes inspiration from
the natural immune system and to develop algorithms that can be applied in a wide range of
applications, including learning, optimisation and classification. Many of these algorithms
are built on solid theoretical foundations, taking inspiration and understanding from
mathematical models and computational simulation of aspects of the immune systems.
The area of Artificial Chemistries (AChem) is concerned with developing new tools and
insights into molecular based systems, so attempting to bridge the gap between chemical,
biological and computational systems, or algorithms to develop novel dynamical systems and
control systems. This track will highlight the latest advances in these areas, and act as
a catalyst for potential interaction between these two areas.
Scope:
The AIS/AChem track welcomes submissions of original and unpublished work in all aspects of
AIS/AChem, including (but not limited to) the following areas:
- Computational modelling and simulation of aspects of the immune system or chemical systems
- Applications of AIS/AChem algorithms to computational problems
- Application to real-world problems
- Novel algorithms or simulations of AIS/AChem systems
- Hybridisation with other techniques
- Empirical investigations into performance and complexity
- Theoretical aspects including:
* Algorithm performance
* Convergence analysis
* Mathematical modelling
Each paper will be rigorously evaluated in a double-blind review process.
All accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library.
IMPORTANT DATES
January 21, 2015: Abstract submission
February 4, 2015: Full paper submission (hard deadline)
March 20, 2015: Notification of paper acceptance
