We would like to cordially invite you to consider contributing a paper to SEN-MAS 2016 - held as a part of the Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS 2016).

FedCSIS a yearly international multi-conference organized by the Polish Information Processing Society (PTI) in technical cooperation with the IEEE Region 8, IEEE Poland (Gdansk) Section Computer Society Chapter, Poland Section Computational Intelligence Society Chapter, ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing, Lodz ACM Chapter, European Alliance for Innovation, Polish Operational and Systems
Research Society - POSRS, Eastern Cluster ICT Poland, Mazovia Cluster ICT.

TOPICS
=======================================

The SEN-MAS'16 Workshop aims at providing a forum for presenting and discussing recent advances and experiences in building and using multi-agent systems for modelling, simulation and management of smart energy networks. In particular, it includes (but is not limited to) the following topics of interest:

- Experiences of Smart Grid implementations by using MAS
- Applications of Smart Grid technologies
- Management of distributed generation and storage
- Islands Power Systems, Microgrid Applications
- Real time configurations of energy networks
- Distributed planning process for energy networks by using MAS
- Self-configuring or self-healing energy systems
- Load modelling and control with MAS
- Simulations of Smart Energy Networks
- Software Tools for Smart Energy Networks
- Energy Storage
- Electrical Vehicles
- Interactions and exchange between networks for electricity, gas and heat
- Stability in Energy Networks
- Distributed Optimization in Energy Networks

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
=======================================

Papers should be submitted by May 9, 2016 (strict deadline). Preprints will be published on a USB memory stick provided to the FedCSIS participants. Only papers presented during the conference will be submitted to the IEEE for inclusion in the Xplore Digital Library. Furthermore, proceedings, published in a volume with ISBN, ISSN and DOI numbers will posted at the conference WWW site. Extended versions of selected papers presented during the conference will be published as Special Issue(s) of:
- Scalable Computing; Practice and Experience
- Complex Adaptive Systems Modeling (publication fee waiver for the papers that are going to be selected is expected)
- Multiagent and Grid Systems
- Computer Science Journal (7 points in current ranking of MNiSW - this is something cryptic to the outsiders, but will be clear for scientists from Poland)
