*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.
