    Dear Colleagues,

     

    The Energy Systems Division of the Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers (IISE) is sponsoring the Energy Systems Track at the IISE Annual Conference & Expo 2023. The conference is a forum for exchanging knowledge and discoveries in the Industrial and Systems Engineering research and practitioner communities. The IISE Annual Conference & Expo 2023 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 250-word abstract or presentation summary. 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, and therefore there is no limitation on reusing this material for other purposes (e.g., toward the publication of journal papers or subsequent conference proceedings).  We highly encourage Abstracts and Presentations Summaries that demonstrate Academic-Industry collaboration and the application of emerging technologies and methods.  Key areas include:

     

    • Optimization of operations, planning and design of energy systems
    • Data analytics for evaluation, forecasting, control, and operation of energy systems
    • Policy or regulatory evaluation of energy systems
    • Resilience characterization and modeling of energy systems
    • Reliability, resource adequacy and safety of energy systems
    • Economic aspects of energy systems design and operation
    • Interdependent modeling of energy and other systems
    • Changing business models of energy supply and demand
    • Artificial intelligence and machine learning modeling related to energy systems

     

    We encourage submissions that demonstrate results from university-industry collaborations and applications of emerging technologies and methods.

     

    Authors of accepted abstracts and presentation summaries will be invited to share their work in a conference session. Regular sessions will be 80 minutes and have up to four presentations. There will also be options where authors can elect to share their content in a "Poster Session". In addition, there are opportunities to organize and/or participate in Special Sessions (Panels, Workshops, etc.). If you are interested, please contact us by October 28, 2022.

     

    While not required, we strongly encourage all presenters to submit a paper for publication so discoveries can be permanently documented.  This year, two types of papers will be considered: Research Papers and Case Study Papers.  

    • Research Papers(with a limit of six pages) contain methods and results that are significant and have archival value to the industrial and systems engineering community.  They will undergo a double-blind peer review process and accepted papers will be copyrighted and indexed in the Conference Proceedings via ProQuest.
    • Case Study Papers(two to six pages) describe the application of a method or technology that addresses an important industry-motivated issue.  They will be reviewed to ensure that the content focuses on the value and lessons learned for the Industrial and Systems Engineering community.  The case study papers should avoid significant marketing material.  Accepted manuscripts will be published with access via the IISE website.

     

    We will also hold (i) a best track paper competition and (ii) a best student-led paper competition. Authors of six-page papers will be given the opportunity to participate in this competition without having to publish that paper in the proceedings and thus without releasing its copyright. Please, remember to indicate in the submission portal if you would like to be considered for the competitions. Alternatively, send an email to either of the track co-Chairs below indicating your interest.

     

    Important deadlines:

    • Submission deadline for abstract/presentation summary: November 11, 2022
    • Notification of decision on abstract/presentation summary: December 16, 2022
    • Paper submission deadline: February 3, 2023

    (Paper submission is optional but encouraged.)  

    • Speaker registration deadline: February 10, 2023
    • Paper final revision submission deadline: March 24, 2023

     

    Important Note

    Authors/Presenters with approved abstracts must register for the Conference by February 10, 2023. Authors/Presenters that do not register by this date will have their presentations/papers withdrawn from the program and the proceedings. The presenting author must attend and present the paper at the conference.

    We look forward to seeing you in New Orleans!

    Best Regards,
