*Call for papers*
Flexibility in electricity demand and supply is used to address 
challenges in markets, grid congestion, reducing CO2 emissions, etc. The 
amount of flexibility rapidly increases due to the electrification of 
transport and heating. Many of the new devices introduced by the 
electrification have a communication interface and implement a 
flexibility interface. To efficiently make use of this flexibility, it 
needs to be aggregated and/or coordinated. This requires advances in 
modeling of flexibility, distributed optimization of flexibility, 
computational-aware flexibility markets, and online optimization of 
flexibility.  The use of flexibility itself introduces new challenges 
related to privacy, cybersecurity, and robustness.
We invite papers that address computational challenges related to 
flexibility. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Mathematical modeling of flexibility: (dis)aggregation of flexibility, 
quantifying flexibility, prediction of flexibility, generation of 
flexibility data;
- Communication of flexibility: flexibility protocols and 
standardization, privacy preserving communication of flexibility, 
robustness of ICT systems for flexibility, cybersecurity of demand-side 
management;
- Algorithms for using flexibility: algorithms for flexibility 
coordination, distributed optimization, performance guarantees of 
algorithms, computational efficiency, online algorithms, 
learning-augmented algorithms;
- Computational aspects of flexibility-markets: computation-aware 
flexibility market design, computational efficiency, algorithms for 
computing equilibria.
*Submission*
All submissions must be at most 6 pages (including references, figures, 
and appendices), formatted in 9-point ACM double-column format. Papers 
should present original work, not published, accepted or under review 
for any other publication.
Accepted papers will appear in ACM digital library.
