IoT4e: The Energy Internet - Integrating Internet of Things into the Smart Energy Systems Exeter UK, June 21-23, 2017

Internet of Things (IoT) has become a wildly popular term these days often used to describe a world in which virtually every electronic device connects to the Internet and to each other to introduce significant advantages in terms of automation, energy efficiency, security, energy conservation and living comfortably. In this context, the Energy Internet is seen as a major step from present situations where devices can be remotely controlled, toward smart energy applications by many aspects: the number of connected objects, the nature of objects, the technologies and architectures involved based on technical ecosystems, and the big data management as an ability to collect large amounts of unstructured data, analyze, and then predict future behavior.

The aim of this special session is to provide the last and the most innovative contributions in IoT-enabled solutions for improving the controllability, observability, efficiency, sustainability and reliability in current and future smart energy networks. Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts for review for publication in this special session. Original research and practical contributions as well as surveys and state-of-the-art tutorials are welcome.

Submission Guidelines

All papers need to be submitted electronically in PDF format via EasyChair; EasyChair submission point is:
