International Conference on Simplicity and Complexity in SMART Automatics and Energy Systems (SMART-SYSTEMS)

About conference

International Conference on Simplicity and Complexity in SMART Automatics and Energy Systems (SMART-SYSTEMS) is dedicated to the discussion of today’s achievements and farsighted researches in the area of intellectual technology use for solving of real, applied tasks in various areas of industries and energy policies of nations. The conference is organized for the purpose of support of interdisciplinary discussion and publication of scientific-research results that summarizes researches in the technical sphere of knowledge at higher educational institutions, research institutes, major industrial enterprises, science and production unions of the Russian Federation, authors from foreign countries, and results of researches conducted with the initiative of authors.

Main sections of the conference:

Control and automation systems for manufacturing in the industrial production areas;
Industrial mechatronic systems and robotics;
Electric power systems and renewable energy sources;
Power electronics, electric machines and electric drives;
Microprocessor control systems and signal processing;
Modeling and computer technologies;
Theory and applications of dynamical measurements;
Information and measuring technologies;
Organizational and managerial solutions for organization of energy and resource efficiency.
The conference represents an informational platform for accumulation of expert opinion on projects and initiatives that are aimed at implementation of farsighted scientific research and development; it allows to present scientific and practical achievements to a wide circle of researchers.

The conference sections are of interest to a broad range of specialists in the sphere of development of new innovative solutions and organization of events that increase efficiency of application of energy technologies in their various manifestations. The conference is also interesting for engineering and sci-tech workers that are involved in development and adjustment of automation equipment and systems of management of technical electrified sights and informative-measuring devices for collecting, measuring and research of information on currents in electric-technical complexes and systems. It is also of high interest for undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students enrolled in the following programs: “Power systems engineering and electrotechnics”, “Automatized systems”, “Managerial systems in power technologies”, etc.

Vladivostok

Campus

LOTTE Hotel Vladivostok is the first and only executive class hotel with a combination of all international standards and hospitality rules. The hotel is located in the business and cultural center of the Primorsky capital. LOTTE Hotel Vladivostok has four comfortable halls for holding international conferences. Professional hotel managers will create for you a unique atmosphere of the event: a world of refined taste, beautiful decor and gourmet cuisine.

Vladivostok – a port city, the capital of the Primorsky Territory, the venue of the APEC summit in 2012 – dry facts that a person who has never been here can give. However, for everyone, it is revealed from a new side.

Vladivostok is one of the most memorable cities in the world, and definitely one of the most beautiful cities in Russia. Hundreds of routes lead here – sea, land, underwater, rail, road and air. Many travelers visit the city every year and are not disappointed, because there are not many places in our country where you can see the sun rise from across the ocean. There are a large number of hotels to accommodate visitors in the city. The oldest hotels in Vladivostok give visitors the opportunity to spend time in the city with special comfort. Pacific region. Keeping long-term scientific traditions and following the latest educational trends, we strive to become the best scientific and educational center of the APR.

APEC Forum with participating countries from Asian Pacific Region was hosted in Vladivostok in 2012. Far Eastern Federal University was founded exactly prior to this momentous event. Partially, educational buildings are located on the main land, yet the core of university is on Russky Island. In order to get to FEFU one shall cross the Russky Bridge, which length is 3100 m.

The vast territory of the educational institution is the location of numerous educational buildings, hotels (dormitories), medical center and waterfront promenade. The build-up territory is 200 ha; the construction area of estates – 500,000 m².

Campus dormitories provide accommodation to 11 000 students and faculty members.

The Northern group of hotel type (dormitories), which includes 5 buildings of the first type (closer to waterfront) and 3 buildings of the second type (closer to the outer road bend); the Southern cluster (dormitories) consists of 3 buildings.

Educational buildings are located in the campus center: humanities building and building of natural sciences. There is an eleven-story Student center for student unions and organizations between them. This center has conference-halls that seat 900 people, all necessary services, including shops, clubs, and cafes. To the left of the main building there are the sports block, including several swimming pools, tennis courts and various sports grounds for athletics.

Landscaping areas, parks and sports zone occupy 54 ha. The park is surrounded with alleys and minor architectural forms, pedestrian and bicycle tracks interlace the entire campus. The Northern part of the campus is the location of the sports zone: open stadium that seats a few thousands of people, tennis courts, volleyball ground.

Review process

SMART-SYSTEMS papers are reviewed using a double-blind process managed through EasyChair. The reviewing process has three phases: bidding, reviewing, and discussion and metareviewing.

Reviewers are expected to provide high-quality reviews to provide authors with feedback that will help to improve the work for publication or for future submission. Conference peer review committee (CPRC) lead the discussion among reviewers and metareview each paper, providing a recommendation and feedback to the program chairs.

Each paper submission is expected to receive tow reviews and a metareview, but this number is subject to change depending on the number of submissions and the number of reviewers and CPRC.

All paper submissions are anonymous. Reviewers and CPRC are and should remain anonymous to one another and to the authors of the submissions they review. When writing comments on a review during a discussion, please refer to yourself and other reviewers by the number of their review.
