Workshop Description and Motivation:
The availability of advanced sensing and communication infrastructures,
electric monitoring facilities, computational intelligence, widespread
use and interest in renewable energy sources, and customer-driven
electricity usage, storage and generation capabilities, have posed the
foundations for a robust and dynamic next generation economic interplay
between the demand-side: smart buildings, and the supply-side: smart power
grids. Three key aspects distinguish this evolving economy from more
traditional market forces:
(1) Information: both energy producers and consumers have access to
information (e.g., production costs, customers' electricity needs,
time distribution of demands);
(2) Exchange: communication is possible on a continuous basis, thus
enabling both individual as well as group decision processes
(e.g., producers and consumers can negotiate prices and energy
exchanges);
(3) energy can be produced not only by power plants, but also by
customers (e.g., via solar panels) and stored for later use
(or redistributed through the electric grid), and
(4) given all of the above, customers can employ advanced tactical
measures for improving building operations and reducing energy
consumption without sacrificing occupant satisfaction, which has
direct economic implications for producers.
In general terms, a smart grid enables the distributed generation and
two-directional flow of electricity and information, within an integrated
system of connected smart buildings as key agents within this new ecosystem.
AI plays a key role in the relationship between the smart grid and smart
buildings. New technologies offer infrastructure that provides information
to support automated decision making on how to (automatically) adapt
production/consumption, optimize costs, waste, and environmental impact,
and provide reliability, safety, security, and efficiency. Indeed, several
research projects have already developed the view of this ecosystem as a
multi-agent system, where agents coordinate and negotiate to achieve smart
grid and smart building objectives.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners
from diverse areas of AI to explore both established and novel applications
of AI techniques to address problems related to the design, implementation,
deployment, and maintenance of both smart buildings and the smart grid –
either as independent topics or together in an overarching multi-agent
system.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
• Distributed decision making and distributed optimization
• Agents and multi-agent applications in smart grids
• Data analytics and machine learning techniques applied to smart buildings,
grids and energy management
• Advanced machine learning techniques used to improve building maintenance
and operations and reduce energy consumption without sacrificing occupant
satisfaction
• Novel information and sensing technologies that can be used to enable the
deployment of advanced machine learning and data mining techniques within
the built environment
• Knowledge-based methods in design of smart buildings and smart grids
• Coordination of intelligent agents in smart grids
• Negotiation and trading strategies in energy markets
• Human-computer interactions and human-in-the-loop systems within smart grids
• Simulations of energy markets and smart grids
Workshop Format:
The workshop is expected to be a full-day event. It will include three
components:
(1) one invited keynote speaker, selected among leading researchers
exploring the advanced use of AI techniques to address practical
issues of smart grids and smart buildings;
(2) a collection of presentations selected from peer-reviewed submissions,
in response to an open call for papers; (3) a closing panel, including
both invited panelist and workshop participants, to discuss future
directions of research in this field.
Submission Guidelines:
Participants should submit a paper (maximum 6 pages + 1 page of references),
describing their work on one or more of the topics relevant to the workshop.
Accepted papers will be presented during the workshop and will be published
as AAAI technical reports, which will be made freely available in AAAI's digital
library.
Authors are requested to prepare their papers using the AAAI style files (http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Templates/AuthorKit.zip).

- computational geometry,
- computational biology,
- random graphs and models of the web and scale-free networks, and
- support of these concepts by suitable implementations and applications.
SUBMISSIONS AND PROCEEDINGS
Contributors are invited to submit an extended abstract of at most 12
pages Springer LNCS format including title, abstract, but excluding references,
without changes to the settings of margins and vertical spacing, and with numbered pages.
Proofs omitted due to space restrictions must be placed in an appendix,
to be read by program committee members at their discretion.
Simultaneous submission of papers to any other conference with
proceedings published or made publicly available, or submitting papers
previously accepted for journal publication is not allowed. Invited
papers and accepted contributions will be published in the conference
proceedings in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series of
Springer-Verlag.
BEST PAPER AWARD AND BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD
Thanks to a generous donation by Springer Verlag, WG 2017 is able to
offer awards of 500 euro for the best paper and the best student paper. The awards
will be decided by the program committee. The committee can decide to split the award(s)
over multiple papers.
Papers eligible for the best student paper can have non-student coauthors, but the
the main work in a paper that is a candidate for the best student paper award must be
done by co-authors that were students at the time of submission, and the award can be
received only by such co-authors. It must be indicated at the time of

International Journal of Engineering Business Management
Special Collection on Social and Collaborative Networks and their Applications
This Special Collection is devoted to publishing the latest significant research results on Social and Collaborative Networks design, analysis and management. During the last two decades, there has been a remarkable increase in research attention to networks which fostered the domains of applications and gathered research in the exchanging of knowledge on methods and models. Moreover, the increased availability of large databases and big data analysis opportunities have enabled the description of emergent phenomena as well as communities and collaborative patterns between networks' members.
Networks can be considered a valuable representation of many real systems and play an important role in their understanding. They have a flexible definition - set of nodes and links, representing agents and the interactions among them, respectively - which favors the association between theories in different research fields, ranging from social and managerial to technological and infrastructural aspects as well as to communication systems.
Networks ubiquity has led to a set of common and relevant research problems on how structures facilitate or limit their dynamical behaviors. Thus, the analysis of networks' architecture is extremely useful in order to acquire insight regarding the systems they represent.
This Special Collection encourages research that uses empirical and case study approaches to present theories, techniques and practical experiences in networks that may be used in applications of network methodologies. Articles that have a direct connection to real world problems and lead to more extensive use of network science concepts are preferentially welcome.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
• Social Network Analysis
• Complex networks, quantitative models and their applications
• Community structure and collaboration in networks
• Big data on social and collaborative networks
• Resilience and recovery in networks
• Assortativity and homophily in social network analysis
• Management and networks
• Multilayer networks
Manuscripts submitted to this Special Collection will be peer-reviewed before publication.
Please submit your paper according to the following timetable for the special issue:
