We would like to cordially invite you to consider contributing a paper to SEN-MAS’17 - held as a part of the Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS 2017).

FedCSIS an annual international multi-conference, this year organized jointly by the Polish Information Processing Society (PTI), Poland Section Computer Society Chapter and Czech Technical University in Prague, in technical cooperation with the IEEE Region 8, IEEE Chechoslovakia Section, IEEE Poland Section, IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Intelligent Informatics, IEEE Czechoslovakia Section Computer Society Chapter, Poland Section (Gdansk) Computer Society Chapter, IEEE SMC Technical Committee on Computational Collective Intelligence, Poland Section Computational Intelligence Society Chapter, ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing, Lodz (Poland) ACM Chapter, Committee of Computer Science of Polish Academy of Sciences, Polish Operational and Systems Research Society, Eastern Cluster ICT Poland, Polish Cluster of Research and Development of Internet of Things, Mazovia Cluster ICT.

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

The SEN-MAS'16 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 May 10, 2017 (strict deadline). 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, ISSN and DOI numbers will posted at the conference WWW site. Moreover, most Events' organizers arrange quality journals, edited volumes, etc. and may invite selected extended and revised papers for post-conference publications (information can be found at the websites of individual events).
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)

IMPORTANT DATES
=======================================

- Paper submission: May 10, 2017 (strict deadline, there will be no extensions)
- Position paper submission: May 31, 2017
- Acceptance decision: June 14, 2017
- Final version of paper submission: June 28, 2017
