SCSW09
22 April 2013 to 26 April 2013
This meeting is a one-week research and scoping workshop to discuss applications of mathematics to the management of complex energy systems. It will be held at the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge from 22 to 26 April this year. It is intended as a follow-up to the Spring 2010 Programme in Stochastic Processes in Communication Sciences, and the one-week Energy Systems workshop which formed part of that programme, and subsequent one-day events on the theme of mathematics in the management of energy (Energy Systems Day and Maths Underpinning Energy Workshop).
The aims of the meeting are:
The solution of these problems requires the expert application of systems mathematics, i.e. probability and stochastic modelling, statistics and optimization, together with strong computational expertise in these areas.
It is intended that the meeting should focus on identifying where and how mathematics can contribute to the pressing system management problems now facing the energy industry. To that end there will be a relatively small number of talks, which are by invitation, together with substantial time for brainstorming and discussion.
Thus on the Monday and on the Tuesday morning there will be presentations from industry experts (not all of whom will be from industry itself), and we shall also take some time on the Friday to consider what we have learned during the week. The time in between(other than the Wednesday afternoon - see below) will have an appropriate balance of talks and brainstorming sessions.
On the Wednesday afternoon we shall have an an "Open for Business meeting", in which a number of senior people from industry and government will give high-level views of problems likely to present significant future challenges. One such is that of electricity market reform a subject which raises longer term issues of design of efficient market mechanisms so as to provide optimal value to consumers.
The Organisers would like to thank the following sponsors for their generous support of the event:

INI is a creative collaborative space which is occupied by up to fifty-five mathematical scientists at any one time (and many more when there is a workshop). Some of them may not have met before and others may not realise the relevance of other research to their own work.
INI is especially important as a forum where early-career researchers meet senior colleagues and form networks that last a lifetime.
Here you can learn about all activities past, present and future, watch live seminars and submit your own proposals for research programmes.
Within this section of the website you should find all the information required to arrange and plan your visit to the Institute. If you have any further questions, or are unable to find the information you require, please get in touch with the relevant staff member or our Reception team via our contact pages.
INI and its programme participants produce a range of publications to communicate information about activities and events, publish research outcomes, and document case studies which are written for a non-technical audience. You will find access to them all in this section.
The Isaac Newton Institute aims to maximise the benefit of its scientific programmes to the UK mathematical science community in a variety of ways.
Whether spreading research opportunities through its network of correspondents, offering summer schools to early career researchers, or hosting public-facing lectures through events such as the Cambridge Festival, there is always a great deal of activity to catch up on.
Find out about all of these endeavours in this section of the site.
There are various ways to keep up-to-date with current events and happenings at the Isaac Newton Institute. As detailed via the menu links within this section, our output covers social media streams, news articles, a regular podcast series, an online newsletter, and more detailed documents produced throughout the year.
“A world famous place for research in the mathematical sciences with a reputation for efficient management and a warm welcome for visitors”
The Isaac Newton Institute is a national and international visitor research institute. It runs research programmes on selected themes in mathematics and the mathematical sciences with applications over a wide range of science and technology. It attracts leading mathematical scientists from the UK and overseas to interact in research over an extended period.
INI has a vital national role, building on many strengths that already exist in UK universities, aiming to generate a new vitality through stimulating and nurturing research throughout the country.During each scientific programme new collaborations are made and ideas and expertise are exchanged and catalysed through lectures, seminars and informal interaction, which the INI building has been designed specifically to encourage.
For INI’s knowledge exchange arm, please see the Newton Gateway to Mathematics.
The Institute depends upon donations, as well as research grants, to support the world class research undertaken by participants in its programmes.
Fundraising activities are supported by a Development Board comprising leading figures in academia, industry and commerce.
Visit this section to learn more about how you could play a part in supporting INI’s groundbreaking research.
In this section you can find contact information, staff lists, maps and details of how to find INI’s main building in Cambridge.
Our administrative staff can help you with any queries regarding a prospective or planned visit. If you would like to discuss a proposed a research programme or other event, our senior management team will be happy to help.
