Call For Paper
The IEEE Sustainable Smart Lighting World Conference & Expo (LS:18)
The IEEE Sustainable Smart Lighting World Conference & Expo (LS:18) is an IEEE PES & IAS sponsored conference with technical support from Future Directions and Smart Lighting Initiative. The conference will also have and Expo with Industrial Exhibits and Technology Demonstrators. The conference aims to provide an excellent forum for scientists and engineers worldwide, in both academia and industry, to share and exchange the latest progress on the Science and Technology of Lighting.
LS has a more than 45-year history since the 1st LS (LS1) in 1975 in Loughborough, United Kingdom. LS used to be held every three years, such as LS7 in Kyoto (1995), LS8 in Greifswald (1998), LS9 in Ithaca (2001), LS10 in Toulouse (2004), LS11 in Shanghai (2007), LS12 in Eindhoven (2010). Since LS13 in Troy (2012), LS has become a series of biennial Conferences, followed by LS14 in Lake Como (2014), LS15 in Kyoto (2016), LS16 in Sheffield (2018), LS17 in Toulouse, France.
The aim of this collocation is to bring the two communities in contact: the LS community, which has been active in lighting systems, expanding to smart and human-centric lighting, and the IEEE community, which has been focussing, on among others, Innovation, Advancement and energy efficiency for lighting solutions. This joint event will provide a unique forum to discuss and debate the latest developments in energy and environmental impact of appliances and lighting, heating and cooling equipment, electronics, smart appliances, smart meter, micro-grids, renewable, consumer behaviour, the policies and programs both adopted and planned. This interaction will give birth, for sure, to new successful collaborations.
