ICCS 2007: The 7th International Conference on Computational Science
The
First International Workshop on Computational Methods in Energy Economics
(Papers Due: January 10, 2007)
Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings in the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) that is indexed by SCI and DBLP.
===================================================================
As is known to all, energy economics is a subfield of economics that focuses on
energy relationships as the foundation of all other relationships. The field
can arise from a number of disciplines, including economic theory, financial
economics, computational economics, statistics, econometrics, operational
research and strategic modeling. A wide interpretation of the subject include,
for example, issues related to forecasting, financing, pricing, investment,
development, conservation, policy, regulation, security, risk management,
insurance, portfolio theory, taxation, fiscal regimes, accounting and the
environments. In these listed issues there are a large number of computational
problems to be solved for the energy systems, which is exactly the theme of
ICCS. This will be the first workshop at ICCS for such a subject that provides
a premier and open forum for the dissemination of innovative computational
methods as well as original research results in energy economics and energy
systems.

Topics of Interest
+++++++++++++++++++
The workshop will provide an open forum for research papers concerned with the computational problems on energy economics, including economic and econometric modeling, computation, and analysis issues in energy systems. The workshop will focus on, but not limited to, the following topics:
¨ Forecasting models for energy prices (oil, coal, gas, electricity)
¨ Pricing models in energy markets (mean reversion, jump diffusion)
¨ Investment analysis models in energy projects (portfolio theory)
¨ Econometric modeling for energy demands
¨ Energy and environment policy modeling
¨ Modeling strategic behavior for energy security
¨ Hybrid energy-economy models for energy policy simulation
¨ Statistical analysis of energy cost, energy consumption and economic growth
¨ Energy risk management (risk measurement, hedging strategy and instruments)

The submitted paper must be camera-ready and formatted according to the rules of LNCS (for formatting information see Information for LNCS Authors). Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. PostScript and source versions of your paper must be submitted electronically through the paper submission system. Please, note that papers must not exceed eight pages in length, when typeset using the LNCS format. A paper without figures can be around 4500 words maximally. Dates of deadlines for draft paper submission (full paper), notification of acceptance, deadline for camera-ready paper submission and registration may be found in the Important Dates section of this Web site.
Note: accepted papers will be published in the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS), which are indexed by The Science Citation Index (SCI®) and Digital Bibliography & Library Project (DBLP) on computer science journals and proceedings.
