1. ACM eEnergy’25 — Registration Site Open!

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 16th ACM International Conference on Future and Sustainable Energy Systems (ACM e-Energy 2025) and its co-located tutorials and workshops will be held in Rotterdam, Netherlands, June 17 – 20, 2025 (the workshops are on June 17 and the main technical conference is during June 18 – 20).

By bringing together researchers in a high-quality single-track conference with significant opportunities for individual and small-group interaction, it will serve as a major forum for presentations and discussions that will shape the future of this area.

Registration for ACM e-Energy 2025 is now open: https://energy.acm.org/conferences/eenergy/2025/registration.php
Register now at: https://cvent.me/y3xPWo
The early bird rate is available till May 15th, 2025.

More information about e-Energy’25 can be found here: https://energy.acm.org/conferences/eenergy/2025/

 

 

2. ACM BuildSys

BuildSys will host a highly selective, single-track forum for research on systems issues covering all aspects of the broadly defined built environment. Advances in the effective integration of networked sensors, building controls, and physical infrastructure are transforming our society, allowing the formation of unprecedented built environments and interlocking physical, social, and cyber challenges. Moreover, built environments, including buildings and critical urban infrastructure, account for over half of society’s energy consumption and are the mainstay of our nation’s economy, security, and health. As a result, there is a broad recognition that systems optimizing explicitly for the built environment are particularly important in improving our society, and represent the foundation for emerging “smart cities”. BuildSys is an ideal venue for researchers and practitioners developing and optimizing smart infrastructure systems driven by networked sensing, computing, and control functions.

* More information about ACM BuildSys’25 will be released soon.

 

 

3. Energy Informatics Review (EIR)

ACM SIGENERGY Energy Informatics Review (EIR) welcomes articles on SIGEnergy’s topics, namely within the intersection of computing and communication technologies with smart and sustainable energy systems and the built infrastructure.

Check the current issues! We had a Special Issue for the conference proceedings of the DACH+ Conference on Energy Informatics, and the next issue will comprise many papers from the HOTCARBON workshop 2024.

New ideas in the field of Energy Informatics should be spread early and timely in the community, to foster discussions on assumptions and methods and help to trigger additional investigations. Specifically, papers with early evaluation or feasibility studies are highly encouraged. Additionally, ACM EIR seeks high-quality papers and subjects them to a profound review process. While innovation and timeliness are the major criteria for its acceptance, technical robustness and readability will also be considered in the review process. Submit your file at https://sigenergy-eir.hotcrp.com. Reviewed papers accepted for publication are accessible through the ACM Digital Library. Additionally, editorial content, like thoughts and discussions on new research directions, is published with ACM EIR. Contact [email protected] for any questions and ideas.

 

 

4. DACH+Energy Informatics 2025

The 14th DACH+ Conference on Energy Informatics is going to be held in the medieval city center of Aachen, Germany, on 17-19 September 2025. All conference details can be found at https://energy-informatics2025.org/.

The objective of the DACH+ conference series on Energy Informatics is to promote the research, development, and implementation of information and communication technologies in the energy domain and to foster the exchange between academia, industry, and service providers in the German-Austrian-Swiss region and its neighbouring countries (DACH+). The Energy Informatics conference series is a joint initiative of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, the Austrian Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology, and the Swiss Federal Office of Energy.

The DACH+ Conference on Energy Informatics invites papers from the international community, valuing both theoretical insights and practical innovations in the field, to foster a diverse and comprehensive dialogue. The conference is co-located with the 16th Doctoral Workshop Energy Informatics 2025, which invites doctoral students whose research focuses on the intersection of informatics, energy engineering, and energy economics. This workshop presents an opportunity for doctoral students to discuss their current work – ranging from preliminary ideas to project/thesis results – with researchers from within the same community.

The conference employs a double-blind review process, ensuring impartial and anonymous evaluation. Accepted papers will be published in a special issue of the ACM SIGENERGY Energy Informatics Review (EIR).

* Important Dates *

  • April 17, 2025 – PhD Workshop Submission
  • April 28, 2025 – Research Paper Submission
  • May 09, 2025 – Technical Workshop Submission
  • June 06, 2025 – Notification of Acceptance

5. ACM DEBS 2025 — Call for Participation

We are excited to welcome you to the 19th ACM International Conference on Distributed and Event-Based Systems (DEBS 2025), taking place in June 2025 in Gothenburg, Sweden!

This year, we are honored to host Professor Prashant Shenoy—a leading figure in the energy informatics community—as a keynote speaker alongside the distinguished Minos Garofalakis and Vana Kalogeraki.

DEBS 2025 will feature cutting-edge research on distributed and event-based computing, spanning topics such as data stream processing, cloud/edge computing, event-driven machine learning, hardware acceleration, SDN, system resilience, serverless/FaaS architectures, and real-world industrial applications.

All accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library, and top-rated papers will be invited to submit extended versions to a special issue of Elsevier’s Information Systems on Advances in Distributed Data Processing and Event-Based Systems.

* Upcoming Submission Deadlines *

  • April 06, 2025 – Industry & Application Papers
  • April 11, 2025 – Posters & Demos
  • May 02, 2025 – Grand Challenge

For more details, venue information, and submission guidelines, visit https://2025.debs.org/.

We look forward to seeing you in Gothenburg!

 

 

6. SIGEnergy Graduate Seminar Series

ACM SIGEnergy Graduate Student Seminar is a monthly virtual seminar series in which graduate students present their ongoing work to peers and mentors around the world. The seminar series provides an opportunity for knowledge exchange in our community between our conferences, e-Energy and BuildSys.

 

 

7. ACM SIGEnergy resource for energy-related data sets

The ACM SIGEnergy website has a Resources page with a variety of data sets that are freely available for use by the energy community. It is available at https://energy.acm.org/resources/

We invite you to share any energy-related data sets, models, and software we have not added to this page. Please send this information directly to Gabe Fierro at [email protected].

 

 

8. Posting additional information

If you would like to post additional information, such as academic job opportunities, Ph.D. scholarships, or a new energy systems course, then please send me the details, and I will include them in the next monthly newsletter. My email address is [email protected].
