In most cases, the (possibly joint) reduction of costs and emissions leads to the definition of hard optimization problems, possibly mixed-integers and non-convex, which can be solved more effectively (albeit approximately) using computational intelligence techniques. <br class=""><br class="">With this special session, we aim at collecting research and application papers describing current approaches on data-driven modelling for intelligent energy management and storage. This special session aims at being cross-disciplinary: prospective papers may regard neural, fuzzy and evolutionary approaches, or their hybridisation. Surveys and positions papers are also welcome. </div><div class="" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><b class="">Topics</b> include, but are not limited to</div><div class="" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>• Energy Storage Systems: Modelling, System/Parameters Identification, State of Charge/State of Health Estimation, Cell Balancing <br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>• Design of Energy Management Systems in Scenarios Such as: Smart Grids, Microgrids, Hybrid/Electric Vehicles, Smart Buildings <br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>• Optimal Energy Flows in Smart Grids and Microgrids (Especially Integration with Storage Systems and Renewable Energy Sources) <br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>• Life Cycle Analysis and Optimization of Energy Storage Systems <br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>• Intelligent Control of Hybrid/Electric Vehicles <br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>• Battery Systems: Fast Charging Strategies</div></div><div class="" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><b class="">Dates [EXTENDED]</b>:</div><div class="" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Paper Submission: September 21, 2020 <br class="">Authors Notification: September 28, 2020 <br class="">Camera Ready and Registration: October 6, 2020 </div><div class="" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">More info can be found at the dedicated special session website: <a href="http://www.ijcci.org/CI4EMS.aspx" class="">http://www.ijcci.org/CI4EMS.aspx</a></div><div class="" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Looking forward to your contributions.</div><div class="" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">All the best,</div><div class="" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><i class="">Alessio Martino</i>, PhD</div><div class="" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br class=""></div><div class="">
