ACM's BuildSys 2012 workshop, which takes place Nov. 6, provides an opportunity for the sensor, building, and energy research communities to address the challenges facing the design, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of those systems. The BuildSys organizers recently issued a call for papers, and the three best papers will be sponsored by the Computing Community Consortium (CCC). "We are interested in a life-cycle perspective across design, construction, and operation of buildings, and in energy consumption in both direct (electricity, gas etc.) and indirect (embedded energy in water) forms," the CCC says. Topic areas of interest include sensing technologies and sensor information processing methods; measurement, modeling, and visualization of building performance; and computationally assisted design of energy-efficient buildings. The workshop also welcomes demo abstracts, which describe technology that members of the community want to showcase, such as building controls, optimization and learning, smart energy-aware devices and appliances, and renewable energy integration. The deadline for paper/poster submissions is July 30.
