1. ACM eEnergy’23 – Updates
ACM e-Energy is the premier forum for research at the intersection of computing and communication technologies with energy systems. It has established a strong track record for high-quality research in the application of computing and networked systems to make legacy systems more energy-efficient and in the design, analysis, and development of sustainable and innovative energy systems.
The 14th ACM International Conference on Future Energy Systems (ACM e-Energy 2023) and its co-located tutorials and workshops will be held in Orlando, Florida during June 16 – 23, 2023. By bringing together researchers in a single-track conference designed to offer significant opportunities for personal interaction, it is a major forum for shaping the future of this area. ACM e-Energy 2023 will be held jointly with ACM Federated Computing Research Conference (FCRC) 2023, which assembles a spectrum of affiliated research conferences and workshops. ACM e-Energy 2023 attendees are free to attend the technical sessions of all FCRC conferences and workshops.
We seek high-quality papers at the intersection of computing and communication technologies with smart and sustainable energy systems. We welcome submissions describing conceptual advances, as well as advances in system design, implementation, and experimentation, and we explicitly welcome inter- or trans-disciplinary work. ACM e-Energy is committed to a fair, timely, and thorough review process with sound and detailed feedback.
Key Dates:
Winter deadline (2nd deadline):
April 21st 2023, 23:59 AoE: Revision submission deadline
May 12th 2023: Revision notification
May 26th 2023, 23:59 AoE: Camera-ready deadline

2. Female Scientists Networking Dinner at ACM e-Energy 2023 and childcare at FCRC
ACM SIGEnergy highly appreciates the growing diversity in our community. Gender equality is one of the key goals within our diversity strategy. To support our growing network of female scientists, SIGEnergy and SIGMETRICS are organizing a joint networking dinner at FCRC on June 19th. Please save the date and check the website of both ACM e-Energy and SIGMETRICS for details in the upcoming weeks.
CHILDCARE at FCRC
A childcare is organized at FCRC on a central level. During registration process, you will be asked if this kind of service is needed. Please check – would be great to have you on board with family as well, if needed! Additionally, bringing children with you to the ACM e-Energy conference is encouraged – please feel free to do so! Please contact us, if you need financial support in this context.
3. ACM BuildSYS’23 – CFP
Built environments and critical urban infrastructures account for over half of society’s energy consumption and are the mainstay of our nation’s economy, security, and health. Advances in the effective integration of networked sensors, building controls, and physical infrastructure are transforming our society. In the information age, unprecedented research of cyber-physical infrastructures includes the acquisition, integration, and analysis of big and heterogeneous data, such as sensors, devices, vehicles, buildings, and humans, to tackle the major issues that cities face, e.g., air pollution, increased energy consumption, unsafe or unproductive human environments, and traffic congestion.
Systems optimization, data analysis, and modeling applied to the built environment are particularly important in improving our society, e.g., by increasing its sustainability and enhancing people’s quality of life. These systems represent the foundation for emerging “smart cities”.
To address these challenges, the 10th ACM International Conference on Systems for Energy-Efficient Buildings, Cities, and Transportation (BuildSys ’23) will be held November 15-16, 2023, in Istanbul, Turkey. BuildSys is the premier conference for researchers and practitioners working to develop and optimize smart infrastructure systems that are driven by sophisticated sensing, computing, and control functions.
Important Dates
Abstract Registration*: July 10, 2023, 23:59 AOE.
Paper Submission: July 17, 2023, 23:59 AOE.
Paper Notification: September 15, 2023.
4. EIR – Updates
ACM SIGENERGY Energy Informatics Review (EIR) is a new online publication venue for articles on topics within the SIG’s field of interest. It seeks high-quality papers at the intersection of computing and communication technologies with smart and sustainable energy systems and the built infrastructure.
The next submission deadline is June 1, 2023, to be considered for the September 2023 issue. Please check the following link for submission deadlines and other information:

5. SIGEnergy upcoming election
The SIGEnergy election is coming up soon to choose the next Chair, Vice Chair, and Treasurer. SIG Energy members will receive a ballot by email from ACM. Make sure you will cast your ballot.
6. Graduate student seminar resources – website ready
ACM SIGEnergy Graduate Student Seminar is a monthly virtual seminar series for graduate students to present their ongoing work to peers and mentors around the world. The seminar series provides an opportunity for knowledge exchange in our community in between our conferences e-Energy and BuildSys.
Please refer to the following link for the latest updates and to signup for presenting a talk or attending the seminar series: https://sites.google.com/view/
7. PhD position at UiT, The Arctic University of Norway
