EvoENERGY 2017, 19 - 21 April, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

The EvoENERGY track is part of EvoApplications, the European Conference
on the Applications of Evolutionary Computation
(http://www.evostar.org/), to be held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

INTRODUCTION

Along with the worldwide incentive to reduce fossil and nuclear based power
generation, the number of distributed generators and other forms of
distributed energy resources which are installed in power networks has been
steadily increasing over the last years. This increased integration has
triggered a transformation of the energy system and challenges the
conventional operation of these networks.

On a network level, this transformation requires new control and
communication approaches, to guarantee the security of energy supplies as
well as an optimal exploitation of available resources. On a generator
level, advanced control strategies as well as morphological optimization
(e.g., tuning of wind-blade design) can help to assure an optimal
performance of the generator.

EvoEnergy is intended as a platform for new, innovative computational
intelligence and nature-inspired techniques in the domain of energy-related
optimization research. We seek contributions ranging from new control
concepts for decentralized generation, strategies for their coordination in
the network to the morphological optimization of distributed generators.


TOPICS

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- management and prediction of distributed generation, storage and
consumption
- evolutionary design and morphological optimization in energy systems
- advanced distribution management system functionalities
- Smart Grid planning, monitoring, operation and control
- distributed optimization in energy networks
- demand side management
- novel methods for network restoration

Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of EvoStar, published in a
volume of the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science, which will be

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

DGDC 2016 -- First Workshop on Dynamic Graphs in Distributed Computing

Workshop held in conjunction with DISC'16
Paris, September 30th, 2016

https://pages.lip6.fr/Swan.Dubois/DGDC/index.html

=============================================================================

WARNING ! Early registration soon ends: July, 21 !

=============================================================================

Mobile ad-hoc networks, sensor networks, or peer-to-peer systems are some
examples of distributed systems that share a very challenging property:
they
are dynamic in the sense that their underlying topology changes
unpredictably
with time. Due to the great development of such systems in many fields,
distributed computing practitioners must take dynamicity into account.
The challenge is that it is not sufficient to adapt existing solutions from
static systems due to the intrinsic nature of these systems, in which
dynamics
is not an exception. Even basic assumptions like the availability of
paths may
sometimes become irrelevant in highly-dynamic networks, leading to
reconsider
the meaning of basic tasks like election, broadcast, or routing.

From an algorithmic point of view, the first step is to correctly model
the
dynamicity of the underlying topology. In some cases, it can be
reformulated in
terms of classical properties (e.g. scheduling). However, numerous works
in the
field of distributed computing (and beyond) recently considered
graph-theoretical
approaches to capture various definitions of dynamics and their impact on
distributed computing.

The DGDC workshop precisely focuses on these dynamic graph models and
formalisms
and their implications in distributed computing. Topics of interest
include, but
are not limited to:

- New models or improvement of existing models of dynamic graphs
- Computability and/or complexity in distributed computing based on
dynamic graph assumptions
- Relations among dynamic graph properties and concepts
- Property testing in dynamic graphs
- Modelization and/or verification in dynamic systems
- Fault-tolerance in dynamic systems

*PHASE TRANSITIONS IN DISCRETE STRUCTURES*
Workshop

25 - 29 July 2016,
Goethe University Frankfurt (Germany)

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers at the junction
of probability, combinatorics, physics and computer science. The scope
encompasses random constraint satisfaction problems, statistical
inference, sampling and counting problems as well as message passing
algorithms and other related questions. Since the early 2000's, in all
of these areas research has been stimulated by statistical physics work
on disordered systems such as spin glasses. The non-rigorous but highly
sophisticated methods developed in this context led to insights that
inspired rigorous proof techniques applicable to problems in the
aforementioned fields. We hope that the workshop will encourage this
ongoing and fruitful process.

There is no workshop fee.
