Abstract
CO2 emissions have been identified as one of the significant causes of climate change. These
emissions are mainly produced by non-renewable energy production systems and non-
sustainable transports, still widely used nowadays. Consequently, there is a general consensus
on the need to boost the use of renewable energy sources such as wind, marine, hydro, and
solar. The techniques and technologies used for the automation and control of engineering
systems (particularly energy production and transport systems) determine to a large extent the
efficiency and sustainability of those systems. Research on control, efficiency and sustainability
is encouraged to contribute to this sustainable trend.
Expert systems, fuzzy control, neural networks, genetic algorithms, artificial immune networks,
swarming particle techniques, ACO, reinforcement learning, and other computational
intelligence techniques have been shown to be effective in many different fields. They can be
applied to tackle complex problems where conventional methods are less efficient or
unsuccessful and help make them more respectful of the environment, saving energy.
The goal of this special session is to provide a platform for researchers, engineers, and industrial
practitioners from different fields to share and exchange their ideas, research results, and
experiences in the field of computational intelligence applied to renewable energy and
sustainable transport. Contributions to this special session are welcome to present and discuss
novel methods, algorithms, frameworks, architectures, platforms, and applications.
