IJCAI-ECAI 2018, the 27th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence and the 23rd European Conference on Artificial Intelligence is the premier international gathering of researchers in AI.

Digitalisation and data are becoming ever more important in the energy system, and in society as a whole. This session on Big Data for Smart Energy Services of the Future, part of the EU Sustainable Energy Week, is aimed at bringing together renowned experts from the energy and IT sectors that will debate how they can learn from each other. In particular, the objective is to discuss what reference architecture is already available, how to apply it in the energy sector, and how to promote its use throughout the EU.

The 11th RDA Plenary Meeting takes place from the 21st to the 23rd March 2018 in Berlin, Germany. Some side sessions are scheduled on the 19th and 20th of March.
