E-mail: sen-mas2015 at fedcsis.org

We would like to cordially invite you to consider contributing a paper 
to SEN-MAS 2015 - held as a part of the Federated Conference on Computer 
Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS 2015).

FedCSIS a yearly international multi-conference organized by the Polish 
Information Processing Society (PTI) in cooperation with the IEEE Region 
8, ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing, European Alliance 
for Innovation, Lodz ACM Chapter, Polish Operational and Systems 
Research Society - POSRS, Eastern Cluster ICT Poland, Mazovia Cluster 
ICT (further technical collaborations will be announced shortly).

TOPICS
=======================================

The SEN-MAS'15 Workshop aims at providing a forum for presenting and 
discussing recent advances and experiences in building and using 
multi-agent systems for modelling, simulation and management of smart 
energy networks. In particular, it includes (but is not limited to) the 
following topics of interest:

- Experiences of Smart Grid implementations by using MAS
- Applications of Smart Grid technologies
- Management of distributed generation and storage
- Islands Power Systems, Microgrid Applications
- Real time configurations of energy networks
- Distributed planning process for energy networks by using MAS
- Self-configuring or self-healing energy systems
- Load modelling and control with MAS
- Simulations of Smart Energy Networks
- Software Tools for Smart Energy Networks
- Energy Storage
- Electrical Vehicles
- Interactions and exchange between networks for electricity, gas and heat
- Stability in Energy Networks
- Distributed Optimization in Energy Networks

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
=======================================

Papers should be submitted by April 24, 2015. Preprints will be 
published on a USB memory stick provided to the FedCSIS participants. 
Only papers presented during the conference will be submitted to the 
IEEE for inclusion in the Xplore Digital Library. Furthermore, 
proceedings, published in a volume with ISBN and ISSN numbers will 
posted at the conference WWW site. Extended versions of selected papers 
presented during the conference will be published as Special Issue(s) of:
- Scalable Computing; Practice and Experience
- Complex Adaptive Systems Modeling (publication fee waiver for the 
papers that are going to be selected is expected)
- Multiagent and Grid Systems
- Computer Science Journal (7 points in current ranking of MNiSW - this 
is something cryptic to the outsiders, but will be clear for scientists 
from Poland)
