Dear colleagues,
The Energy Systems Division of the Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers (IISE) is sponsoring the Energy Systems Track at the 2020 IISE Annual Conference & Expo. The conference is a forum for exchanging knowledge and discoveries in the industrial and systems engineering research and practitioner communities. The 2020 IISE Annual Conference & Expo will continue to integrate research and industry applications under one conference.
As track chairs of the Energy Systems Track, we encourage you to contribute to the conference and track by submitting a one-page extended abstract (template provided on the abstract-submission website). Authors will be able to claim these works as refereed extended abstracts, which will be available on the conference website and can be cited. They will not be copyrighted or indexed in the official conference proceedings. Therefore, there is no limitation on reusing extended abstract material for other purposes (e.g., toward the publication of journal papers or subsequent conference proceedings). Extended abstracts are welcome in any topic area that is related to energy systems. This includes but is not limited to the following areas.
|
Optimization of operations, planning, and design of energy systems
Use of data analytics to design, evaluate, control, and operate energy systems
Interdisciplinary research between energy systems and other systems
Policy or regulatory evaluation of energy systems
Changing Business Model of the Energy Delivery Supply Chain,
|
Economic aspects of renewable energy
Maintenance scheduling
Energy efficiency and management
Resilience and threat characterization of energy systems
Reliability, safety, and security of energy systems
Analysis and optimization of energy processes
|
Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to present their work in a conference session. Regular sessions will be 80 minutes and have up to four presenters. There are also opportunities to organize special sessions (e.g., tutorials, panels, and workshops). If you are interested in organizing such a session, please contact the track chairs by October 15, 2019. We encourage all presenters to submit a full length paper for the conference proceedings. The papers should contain methods and results that are significant and have archival value to the industrial and systems engineering community. Full papers have a six-page limit and will undergo a double-blind peer review process. All accepted papers will be copyrighted and indexed in the conference proceedings via ProQuest.
