Solutions to sustainable energy management, combining new network (cyber) infrastructure with technological breakthroughs, like wind generation or electric hybrid vehicles, may mean pulling the plug on how things are done today. This one day program targets technology leaders from the private sector, e.g. chief technology officers, engineering management, research scientists, venture capitalists, as well as academic professionals. As public interest in sustainable energy management continues to grow, our objective is to provide a forum for industry and academia to explore critical aspects of technology advancement and market growth. This event is co-sponsored by the Center for Information & Systems Engineering, the Clean Energy & Environmental Sustainability Initiative, and the ENG Division of Systems Engineering.
