Call For Papers: 2017 International Symposium on Energy Analytics (ISEA2017)

2017 International Symposium on Energy Analytics

(ISEA2017)

Cairns, Australia, June 22-23, 2017

Predictive Energy Analytics in the Big Data World

Modern information and communication technologies have brought big data to virtually every segment of the energy and utility industries. While predictive analytics is an important and necessary step in the data-driven decision-making process, how to generate better forecasts in the big data world is an emerging issue and challenge to both industry and academia.

This symposium aims at bringing forecasting experts and practitioners together to share experiences and best practices on a wide range of important business problems in the energy industry. Here the energy industry broadly covers utilities, oil, gas and mining industries. The subjects to be forecasted range from supply, demand and price, to asset/system condition and customer count.

The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Probabilistic energy forecasting
• Hierarchical energy forecasting
• High-dimensional energy forecasting
• High-frequency and high-resolution energy forecasting
• Equipment failure prediction
• Power systems fault prediction
• Automatic outlier detection
• Load profiling
• Customer segmentation
• Customer churn prediction

If you are interested in contributing a presentation to this symposium, please submit a one-page extended abstract to both guest editors via email with the subject line “ISEA2017 Abstract Submission”. Authors of selected abstracts will be invited to submit full papers to the International Journal of Forecasting (IJF) or Power and Energy Magazine.
