Dear colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit a paper to the Thematic Track on Artificial Intelligence in Power and Energy Systems of EPIA 2021, to be held Online, between 7 and 9 September 2021 (http://www.appia.pt/epia2021/aipes).

Important Deadlines:

Deadline for full paper submission: 15^th April, 2021

Notification of acceptance: 31^st May, 2021

Camera-Ready papers: 15^th June, 2021

Conference: 7-9 September 2021

Submissions:

AIPES welcomes full length papers (of up to 12 pages) and also short papers (up to 6 pages), demonstrating practical applications. All papers should be submitted in PDF format through the EPIA 2021 EasyChair submission page.

Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made.

Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings (a volume of Springer’s LNAI-Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence), provided that at least one author is registered in EPIA 2021 by the early registration deadline. EPIA 2021 proceedings are indexed in Thomson Reuters ISI Web of Science, Scopus, DBLP and Google Scholar.

Each accepted paper must be presented by one of the authors in a track session.

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended and improved version to a special issue published with Energies international journal (Impact Factor: 2.702). Article processing charges (APC) will be waived for the BEST PAPER and a 50% discount will be offered to the runner-up. All other papers accepted in AIPES will be offered a 15% discount for inclusion in this special issue.
