International Conference Energy & Meteorology (ICEM) 2013 will be held in Tolouse during 24-28 June 2013, have a look at their website. Last edition (in 2011) seemed very interesting with a lot of nice presentations (available on their previous website). This conference will be just few days after IEEE PowerTech 2013 which will be in Grenoble, underlining the importance of this topic for France and, more in general, Central Europe.
Next April in Vienna will be held the 2013 edition of Evo* conference which will be composed as usual of different subconferences: EuroGP, EvoBIO, EvoCOP, EvoMUSART and EvoApplications. The latter will have twelve different tracks each one focusing on different areas of application of evolutionary computation methods. For the first time, there will be an EvoEnergy track:
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.
The submission deadline will be the first of November 2012. You can download the PDF Call for Paper at the following link.
Are you looking for the best conference in evolutionary computation and nature computing? PPSN, International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving From Nature, is probably the answer. This conference, which will be held in Taormina (Italy, check the conf website for some nice pictures) in September 2012, has the peculiarity of having only poster sessions to make the discussion about the proposed works more intense (and effective) than usual conference talks.
I think that famous conferences (like IEEE ones and GECCO) are becoming just a way to be seen and publish works which otherwise would need at least one year to be published on computer science journals, but the possibility of meet potential collaborators is getting smaller, because these conferences are huge (>600 participants!) with a massive amount of parallel sessions (the last IEEE SSCI I attended started at 8.30 in the morning and there were each day 6-8 parallel sessions, see the conference schedule…). Check the PPSN 2012 website to know the publication deadlines and getting other important information.
Read the interesting editorial appeared on the Communications of ACM with the title “Where have all the workshops gone?” about the workshops disappear (and the north american Dagschull Envy!).
The name of this conference is “Weather & Climate for the Energy Industry”, an hot topic in these years. The main themes are:
The deadline for abstract submission is in a couple of months (20 May 2011) and the location of the event will be a luxurious hotel in Queensland, Australia. To have more information click on the ICEM 2011 webpage.
