CfP: 8th Workshop on Modeling and Simulation of Cyber-Physical Energy Systems (MSCPES 2020)

CALL FOR PAPERS

8th Workshop on Modeling and Simulation of Cyber-Physical Energy Systems (MSCPES 2020)

21 April 2020 | Sydney, Australia | http://palensky.org/mscpes/2020/

The workshop is intended to be held as part of the Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet-of-Things Week 2020 (application pending) 21 - 24 April 2020, Sydney, Australia

Scope

Automation and digitalization have become important topics in the energy sector in recent years, as modern energy systems increasingly rely on communication and information technology to combine smart controls with hardware infrastructure. With the emergence of cyber-physical systems (CPS) as a transdisciplinary field, such modern energy systems can be classified as cyber-physical energy systems (CPES), integrating the related research and development within a broader scope.

An important aspect of the research and development related to CPS is to bridge the gap between the traditional engineering domains and computer science. This is especially true for CPES, where the related engineering domains have in the past come up with proven and reliable methods for designing even large and complex systems. However, existing modeling and simulation tools still struggle to cover all aspects of CPES. Hence, a combination of universal modeling languages and established, domain-specific tools (like grid simulators and telecommunication simulators) is necessary. New methods, tools and algorithms are needed that are compact, computationally inexpensive, potentially self-organizing and intrinsically stable if applied to real energy systems.

During the workshop, a dedicated session for demos is foreseen. We encourage tool developers (with industrial as well as academic background) to apply for a slot in this session. Please contact the workshop organizers to get in touch.

This workshop brings together researchers and industrialists to exchange ideas and newest research results on the following (not exhaustive) list of topics:

• Hybrid modeling and simulation
• Co-Simulation of multi-domain systems
• Ontologies for energy systems
• Applications of cyber-physical energy systems
• Distributed algorithms and control
• Standards in interfacing components
• Formal languages for energy systems
• Smart Grid modeling
• Smart Cities modeling
• Design of simulations/experiments
