[DMANET] CFP IPEC 2021 - deadline extension

The submission deadline of IPEC 2021 is extended to 29.06.

=================================

The International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC) is an annual conference covering all aspects of parameterized and exact algorithms and complexity. Its 16th edition will be part of ALGO 2021, which also hosts ESA 2021 and a number of more specialized conferences and workshops. ALGO 2021 will take place on September 6-10, 2021, Lisbon, Portugal. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, IPEC might be held online.

Webpage: http://algo2021.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/IPEC2021/index.html <http://algo2021.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/IPEC2021/index.html>

=================================
Topics
=================================

Papers presenting original research in the area are sought, including but not limited to:

- new techniques for the design and analysis of parameterized and exact algorithms;
- fixed-parameter tractability and kernelization results;
- parameterized complexity theory;
- parameterized (in)approximability results;
- relationships between parameterized complexity and traditional complexity classifications;
- applications of parameterized and exact computation;
- implementation issues of exact, parameterized, and kernelization algorithms;
- theoretically grounded studies on parameterized and exact computations and kernelization for real-world applications and algorithmic engineering.

=================================
Special Events
=================================

An invited talk is planned by the 2021 EATCS-IPEC Nerode Prize winner.
The program will include an invited tutorial by Edouard Bonnet (CNRS, ENS Lyon, France), "Twin-width of graphs".
In addition, the results of the 5th Parameterized Algorithms and Computational Experiments Challenge (PACE 2021) will be presented in a special session.

=================================
Conference
=================================

Accepted papers will be published in the symposium proceedings in the Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs) series, based at Schloss Dagstuhl. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their work at the symposium, and to incorporate the comments from the program committee.

A special issue of Algorithmica is planned for selected papers presented at IPEC 2021.

=================================
Awards
=================================

The program committee may award a Best Paper Award and a Best Student Paper Award, both of which may be exceptionally split between two or more papers. A student is someone who has not received a PhD degree before the full paper submission deadline. A paper accepted to the conference is eligible for the Best Student Paper Award if either all its authors are students, or besides student co-author(s) there is one non-student co-author that confirms, at the moment of submission, that a clear majority of conceptual work on the paper was done by the student co-author(s). In the latter case, it is moreover expected that a student gives the presentation at the conference. Papers co-authored by members of the program committee are not eligible for the Best Paper Award or the Best Student Paper Award.

=================================
Submission Guidelines
=================================

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of up to 12 pages (excluding the title page and references section) in LIPIcs style, in English, describing original unpublished research. The title page consists exclusively of the title of the paper, author information, and abstract. Results previously published in another conference proceedings or journal (or scheduled for publication prior to IPEC) will not be considered. Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings or to journals is not allowed. However, the authors are encouraged to make full versions of their submissions freely accessible in an online repository such as arXiv or ECCC. Program committee members (except the co-chairs) are allowed to submit papers.

The extended abstract should contain a summary of the main results, their motivation and importance, and evidence of their correctness. All claims made in the extended abstract must be fully justified in a clearly marked appendix that will be read at the discretion of the program committee. The authors may choose to either present in the appendix only the material excluded from the extended abstract or to attach a full version of the paper as the appendix. In either case, the authors should take a particular notice that the extended abstract should present their work in a comprehensible and self-contained way and the quality of the presentation in the extended abstract will be taken into account by the program committee.
Authors must submit their papers electronically via EasyChair. The use of the LIPIcs style file (https://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics/instructions-for-authors <https://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics/instructions-for-authors>) is mandatory; no changes to font size, page margins, etc., are permitted.

[DMANET] GC21-EnergyCom: Intelligent Communications for Decentralized Energy Management. Due: 15/July

*Call for Paper*

International Workshop on

*Intelligent Communications for Decentralized Energy Management
(EnergyCom2021)*

*http://icnetlab.org/EnergyCom2021**/* <http://icnetlab.org/EnergyCom2021/>

*in conjunction with **IEEE GlobeCom 2021.*

*https://globecom2021.ieee-globecom.org/workshop/ws-21-workshop-intelligent-communications-decentralized-energy-management-energycom*
<https://globecom2021.ieee-globecom.org/workshop/ws-21-workshop-intelligent-communications-decentralized-energy-management-energycom>

7-11 December 2021 // Madrid, Spain

*Scope and topics of the workshop:*

The need for clean energy has become crucial with population growth, the
abundant demand in traditional energy resources and the need for the
decarbonization of economy to curb climate change. The solution ahead is to
shift to and integrate more renewable and clean sources of energy with the
existing conventional energy infrastructure as well as offer end-users a
more active role in the integrated management of their energy resources
(grid, loads, storage, microgeneration). Energy trading platforms are
mechanisms used to attain increased energy demands while meeting
participants' satisfaction (i.e., consumers, prosumers, and utility grids).
Participant satisfaction is driven by two main factors: stable coverage of
energy demand and profit maximization, which can be fostered by demand
response programs. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) energy trading platforms should find
a win-win balance, where all participants are able to make some profit and
meet their energy demand under any circumstances. However, under certain
circumstances, this balance between energy demand and profit can be
affected. Some consumers may not be able to buy energy due to the lack of
funds. Moreover, some prosumers, that are solely responsible of energy
storage management, are not able to sell all their excess energy.
Additionally, energy storage management becomes costly over time and can
affect the prosumer overall profit. Lastly, scalability and security are
additional challenges that must be tackled.

In this context, intelligent communications, as well as decentralized
technologies, have emerged as a solution to these issues. For instance,
deep and reinforcement learning coupled with fast and reliable
communication infrastructures such as B5G, provide great opportunities to
improve the way energy prosumers and consumers communicate with the grid. A
decentralized energy management system takes advantage of various
technologies, and effective communication is used to ensure optimal
utilization of the available resources. Incorporation of advanced
technologies such as blockchain, distributed intelligence, and federated
learning can considerably overcome the technical challenges and reduce
market barriers, which in essence would attract the adoption of this
disruptive technology.

The aim of the International Workshop on Intelligent Communications for
Decentralized Energy Management is to bring together experts, researchers,
and practitioners interested in the advances and applications in the field
of intelligent communications and computing for decentralized energy
management. Participants are invited to present and discuss recent
developments and challenges in energy management systems. This workshop
focuses on innovative applications, tools, and frameworks in technological
areas related to optimization of the energy management infrastructure in
the context of smart cities and other relevant application domains.

Researchers are encouraged to submit original research contributions in all
major areas, which include, but not limited to:

· Design of multi-objective models for energy management systems,
including demand response

· Big data analytics in energy management

· Intelligent infrastructure architectures for energy systems

· Cooperative systems for energy management

· Security and privacy for decentralized energy systems

· Next-generation networks for energy management
