Call for papers - 6th Dubrovnik Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems (SDEWES 2011)

2010-12-09T10:22:00.001-03:00

September 25 - 29, 2011, Dubrovnik, Croatia

Dear

The Dubrovnik Conference is the biannual event devoted to the gathering of scientists, engineers, policy makers, students and other interested parties in the field of sustainable development. The first five Dubrovnik Conferences on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems (SDEWES) were successfully held in Dubrovnik, organized by the University of Zagreb and Instituto Superior Tecnico - Lisbon and under the patronage of UNESCO- Paris, European Commission, DG RTD, FP INCO Programme - Brussels and other partner institutions, organisations and networks. The scientific quality of the conferences is confirmed by the fact that leading international archival scientific journals, "Energy - The International Journal", "Applied Energy", "Journal of Water Resource Management", "Thermal Science" and "Management of Environmental Quality", have in the past dedicated and published special issues for selected and reviewed papers from the conferences, and intend to do that also for SDEWES 2011. The past publications resulting from the Conferences can be found on: http://www.sdewes.org/journals.php.

We are pleased to invite you to the 6th Dubrovnik Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems which is going to be held in Dubrovnik - Croatia from September 25 - 29, 2011. The details about the conference (important dates, conference fee, accommodation, contact addresses, etc.) can be found on the web site: http://www.dubrovnik2011.sdewes.org

We would highly appreciate your attendance as well as promotion of this event among your colleagues and co-workers that might be interested in our conference. Please, forward this Call for Papers!

Dubrovnik is a beautiful ancient port-city situated on the Adriatic Sea in the southernmost part of the Republic of Croatia. Founded in the 7th century, Dubrovnik is rich in cultural and historical Monuments and is included in the UNESCO world Heritage list. "Those who seek paradise on Earth should come to Dubrovnik and see Dubrovnik" (George Bernard Shaw).

The Dubrovnik Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems is dedicated to the improvement and dissemination of knowledge on methods, policies and technologies for increasing the sustainability of development by for example de-coupling growth from natural resources and replacing them with knowledge based economy, taking into account its economic, environmental and social pillars, as well as methods for assessing and measuring sustainability of development, regarding energy, transport, water, environment and food production systems and their many combinations. Sustainability being also a perfect field for interdisciplinary and multi-cultural evaluation of complex system, the Dubrovnik Conference has during the first decade of the 21st century become a significant venue for researchers in those areas to meet, and originate, discuss, share, and disseminate new ideas.

The 5th Dubrovnik Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems, held in 2009, was the most successful up to now, drawing more than 300 participants from 55 countries, and 400 full papers.

PES JTCM status update -hotels filling fast!

2009-12-10T19:59:00.002-03:00

2010 IEEE PES Joint Technical Committee Meeting

January 10 - 14, 2010 • Lake Buena Vista, Florida, USA

Arrangements for the January JTCM are progressing well. Please visit the website at http://www.pestechnical.org/

This message is a status update.

Please note that the hotel guest rooms are filling fast. There are still rooms available in our reserved block at the Disney Contemporary for the nights of 11th and 12th January, and some nights are available at the Contemporary before those dates. The Contemporary is full for the night of 13th January. However, the hotel has arranged with the nearby Disney Polynesian Resort to accommodate some of our attendees on the night of 13th January and beyond (or you may choose to stay the full time at the Polynesian as well if you wish to avoid moving). The Polynesian Resort Hotel is just a short monorail trip from the Contemporary. If there is no space available at either the Contemporary or the Polynesian, the hotel Reservations Department will provide names of hotels that are nearby and likely other Disney properties.

Please don't forget to register for the meeting too. The discounted pre-registration rate is available up to 5th January, but earlier registration helps us plan the meeting and catering arrangements better.

Most of the meeting schedules are posted on the website now under the various committee names. Please contact your Committee or Subcommittee Chair or Charlie Henville (email c.henville@ieee.org ) if you need to make any changes or additions to the meeting schedule.

Regards from Charlie Henville.

VI Taller Internacional "La Educación Ambiental para el Desarrollo Sostenible"

Varadero, Cuba 2009,

del 20 al 24 de Octubre del 2009

CONVOCATORIA

Estimados(as) Amigos y Amigas:

Estimados Colegas:

"Una importante especie biológica está en riesgo de desaparecer por la rápida y progresiva liquidación de sus condiciones naturales de vida: el hombre . "Los bosques desaparecen, los desiertos se extienden, miles de millones de toneladas de tierra fértil van a parar cada año al mar. Numerosas especies se extinguen. La presión poblacional y la pobreza conducen a esfuerzos desesperados para sobrevivir aun a costa de la naturaleza.

Sin lugar a dudas el pensamiento anterior nos hace detenernos y meditar , en el tema medio ambiente , problema que ocupa en la actualidad la atención de las personas y los gobiernos en el mundo, ocupando un lugar destacado y justificado por su vigencia social, política y económica. Debido a procesos como la destrucción de la capa de ozono, las lluvias ácidas, el calentamiento global del planeta, la pérdida de las tierras cultivables a causa de la erosión y la desertificación, la contaminación de las aguas, la disminución de la biodiversidad y la probabilidad de una guerra nuclear poniendo en peligro a la humanidad.

Preocupados y ocupados de lo anterior la Universidad Pedagógica "Juan Marinello" de Matanzas, Cuba, y la Delegación Provincial del CITMA, se encuentra en los últimos preparativos para efectuar en Varadero, Cuba del 20 al 24 de Octubre del 2009 el VI Taller Internacional "La Educación Ambiental para el Desarrollo Sostenible".

Estimados,

Este año la Escuela de Verano Latinoamericana en
Inteligencia Computacional y Robótica, EVIC 2009,
organizada por los Capítulos Chilenos de
Inteligencia Computacional y Robótica de la IEEE
viene verdaderamente muy atractiva.

En siguientes mails les iremos contando de los
muchos aspectos que tiene este evento que se
llevará a cabo por sexta vez en Santiago, en la
Facultad de Ciencias Físicas y Matemáticas de la Universidad de Chile.

Por ahora, unas palabras sobre algunos de los
muy distinguidos profesores que nos visitan este
año y que ofrecerán charlas plenarias.

En primer lugar, el Profesor Leon Chua, de la U.
de California, Berkeley. El Prof. Chua, famoso
por su célebre circuito que exhibe un clásico
comportamiento caótico y que ha servido para
probar mucha de la teoría que se ha desarrollado
en ese tema, viene además precedido por el
reconocimiento que se le ha dado por haber sido
el primero en postular y desarrollar la teoría
del Memristor, dispositivo de estado sólido que
recientemente fue elaborado por la Hewlett
Packard por el grupo liderado por R. Stanley
Williams. Se cree que este dispositivo va
a revolucionar la microelectrónica y va a
permitir pasar la barrera de la miniaturización
actual, con el consiguiente aumento de la
capacidad de los computadoras, dispositivos de
almacenamiento, etc. En el ámbito de la
inteligencia computacional, el Prof Chua ha sido
además el "padre" de la teoría de las redes
neuronales celulares, un paradigma de computación
paralela, con aplicaciones en análisis de
imágenes, modelado de visión biológica, análisis
de superficies 3D, entre otras.

El Profesor José Principe, de la U. de Florida,
especialista en el procesamiento no-lineal óptimo
de señales no-gaussianas y en el modelado en
ingeniería biomédica, ha sido el creador del
Laboratorio de Neuroingeniería Computacional de
la U. de Florida. Este laboratorio tiene por
objetivo, entre otros, el estudio y comprensión
de funciones cerebrales, de desórdenes cerebrales
y la creación de interfaces directas con el
cerebro. Para ellos combina principios de machine
learning, procesamiento de señales y
neurociencias. El Dr. Principe es el creador del
Aprendizaje por Teoría de Información
(Information Theoretic Learning), que extiende
los algoritmos de aprendizaje clásicos basados en
estadísticas de segundo orden, a algoritmos que
optimizan la entropía o la información mutua
donde se utiliza toda la información de los datos
contenida en las funciones de distribución de
probabilidad. Además es autor de un libro sobre
ITL que se publicará este año. Para quienes son
usuarios habituales de redes neuronales, el Prof.
Principe ha estado además detrás de la
elaboración de uno de los software más utilizados
y populares en este ámbito, debido a sus
reconocidas capacidades e interfaz amigable con
el usuario, como es Neurosolutions.

Bueno. Y esto solo parte de todo lo que hay. En
próximos mails iremos hablando de nuestros otros
distinguidos visitantes. El Dr. Jacek Zurada, el
Dr. Paul Werbos, el Dr. Gregory Dudek y el Dr. Peter Stone.

Además les contaremos de nuestros profesores
locales, quienes ofrecen cursos tutoriales muy
atractivos en el ámbito de la inteligencia
computacional y de la robótica. En el concurso de
posters, en las becas para estudiantes, etc.

Desde ya los invitamos a visitar la pagina del
evento, www.evic.cl y a inscribirse en él.

Saludos Cordiales,
Comité organizador EVIC 2009.
