Attention: Journal Publication Opportunity for Accepted AI4SG Papers!
 
			
				
				We have made arrangements with "Advances in Building Energy Research"
a peer-reviewed international journal, providing an opportunity for AI4SG authors to publish their work.
Specifically, we have arranged for a special issue containing (extended versions of) papers from the workshop, with a rapid review procedure. 
This is pending that enough interest is expressed by AI4SG accepted papers authors (e.g., 5 papers or more should be contained in the special issue).
				
			
		 
		
		
			
				
Call for papers
 
				
				  
			We plan to welcome papers describing finalized research, as well as work-in-progress. We also welcome 
			submissions that have appeared in AI, MAS, or Power Systems and other IEEE conferences. These will be included in 
			the electronic proceedings with a link to the original source. The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited, to the following:
  
			
				- Intelligent agents and multiagent systems (for the Smart Grid)
- Machine learning
- Optimization

Paper length, format and submission
			
			
			Each submission will be peer-reviewed by members of the PC. All submissions should be formatted following Springer's LNCS format, and all papers should be up to 15 pages in length. Short papers and abstracts are also welcomed. 
			Templates and instructions for authors can be found here. 
			
			 All papers must be submitted throught the AI4SM's 2016  Easychair submittion site.    
			
		 
		
		
			
				
Post proceedings publication
			
			
			AI4SG is considered a nonĀarchival venue and there are no published proceedings, though informal proceedings will be distributed to all workshop participants. This means that publishing a paper in AI4SG should not prevent one from submitting it to a conference or a journal at the same or later time. The requirement to use the LNCS format is imposed to ensure uniformity.
