Fostering smart energy applications through advanced visual interfaces

There is an increasing need for technology that assist people with more effective monitoring and management of their energy generation and consumption. In recent years a considerable number of research activities have resulted in a multitude of new ICT-supported tools and services for both the private energy consumer market, as well as for energy related business and industries (e.g., utility and grid companies, facility management, etc.). This workshop focuses on advanced interaction, interface, and visualization techniques for energy-related applications, tools, and services. It brings together researchers and practitioners from a diverse range of background, including interaction design, human-computer interaction, visualization, computer games, and other fields concerned with the development of advanced visual interfaces for smart energy applications.
