Short Track papers are invited to be considered for the conference on topics relating to Sustainability in Energy and Buildings, including:-

  • Sustainable Buildings
  • Smart Energy Systems and Optimisation
  • Renewable Energy Technologies and Integration with the Built and Natural Environment
  • Computing and Intelligent Communications Technology for Sustainability

Short Track papers may be more superficial descriptions than Full Track Papers, but should still be complete and self-contained. The guide length for Short Track papers is between 1 and 6 pages.

Papers should be submitted as PDF documents through the EasyChair online submission and review system available .. here .. and stating "Short paper" in the keyword section on the submission form.

Submissions for the Short Paper Track will be subjected to a less rigorous review than Full Papers and presented as posters or oral presentations, depending on the characteristics of the submission and the reviewers' comments.

Short Track papers will be published as open-access web publications in SEB Research Advances along with the Powerpoint used in the presentation, in the KES Open Access Library (KOALA).

There is no requirement to complete a copyright form, as papers are published under the KOALA copyright agreement, available for viewing .. here ..
