SUMMARY:The Water Sector Meets Mathematics: V-KEMS Virtual Study Group
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nDeveloped in partnership with Stream\, V-KEMS is running a three-day virtual study group that aims to bring together mathematical sciences and other disciplines to address challenges involved in the water sector. \nBackground\nWater companies aim to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of their leakage management strategies\, yet current forecasting and operational approaches fall short in capturing the true drivers and behaviours of leakage across their networks. Leakage forecasts are typically generated by averaging historical weekly changes\, a method that overlooks contextual factors such as weather patterns\, ground conditions\, and rapid leakage “breakouts.” This leads to substantial gaps between predicted and actual leakage levels\, affecting workforce planning\, resource deployment\, and operational efficiency. \nAt the same time\, District Metered Areas (DMAs)—the foundational units for monitoring and managing distribution networks—vary significantly in their physical and environmental characteristics. Without a robust\, data‑driven way to classify these DMAs\, it is difficult to apply tailored leakage management strategies that reflect each area’s underlying risk profile and operational needs. \nThe overarching challenge is therefore twofold: \n\nTo enhance leakage forecasting models by incorporating additional contextual and historical data\, moving beyond simple historical averaging to reduce prediction error.\nTo develop a systematic method for characterising DMAs using available asset\, environmental\, and operational data\, enabling more targeted\, efficient\, and effective leakage management interventions.\n\nTogether\, these challenges highlight the need for improved analytical methods and models that help water companies optimise resource use\, reduce leakage\, and deliver better outcomes for customers\, society\, and the environment. \nAbout the Partners\nStream is a collaboration between the majority of UK water companies\, supported by industry and civil society partners\, with a shared vision to unlock water data to deliver value to customers\, society and the environment. \nThe Virtual Forum for Knowledge Exchange (V-KEMS) is an ongoing collaboration between The International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS)\, Isaac Newton Institute (INI)\, Newton Gateway to Mathematics and Innovate UK Business Connect and various representatives from the mathematical sciences community. The main aim is to identify a range of virtual approaches that will help address challenges from business and industry\, the third sector\, and other groups outside academia. These challenges may be long-standing or may have arisen directly as a consequence of the present disruption to UK society (such as the pandemic). \nThe collaborative partnership of V-KEMS means that your data will be shared with the organisation hosting the virtual study group\, which for the March 2026 study group is the ICMS. \nThe challenges in-depth\nProblem statement 1 – Forecasting leakage \nThe leakage team at NWL create a forecast throughout the year on how much leakage they expect to happen week to week.  This is used to support decision making for workforce planning and deployment (faster mobilisation to fix leaks) and ultimately be more efficient (less wasted resource in terms of water\, people and money). These forecasts are created by averaging historical (last 5 years) leakage changes on a weekly basis. \nWhilst this approach is nice and simple to run\, it is not particularly accurate and there is often a gap between forecast and actual.  Averaging doesn’t deal very well with situations that are known as leakage breakouts (where lots of leaks happen all at once across an area – usually following a protracted cold or dry spell which causes the ground to move and fracture pipes).  A breakout will create a spike in leakage but the level of leakage generally comes down quicker than the model predicts leading to inaccurate forecasts. \nThe challenge is to find ways to refine the forecast to narrow down the margin of error by looking at how other factors have played a part\, such as preceding (say\, 3 months) weather (particularly protracted dry and cold spells).  At present the forecast only relies upon historic levels\, with no understanding of the context at the time.  Up to 20 years of daily leakage levels are available for each company (Essex and Suffolk Water and Northumbrian Water – so 1 data point per day per company) and leak repair data is also available going back about 5 years for both areas. \nProblem statement 2 – Characterising district meter areas so that different strategic approaches to managing leakage can be applied appropriately \nA district metered area is a discrete area of a water network that has a known boundary and flow meters that monitor the volume of water going into that area every day. On average they tend to feed between 1\,000 and 2\,000 properties and cover about 11km of distribution network\, although there are some outliers on either side of these ranges.  The DMA will have certain physical (and non-physical) characteristics that may individually\, or in concert\, determine whether that DMA is more or less likely to experience leakage under different sets of circumstances.  Factors may include pipe material\, age\, ground conditions\, property type\, pressure (along with many more).  How might we use available data to determine the character of a DMA so that different leakage management strategies can be applied appropriately?  Being able to do this enables focus and intervention to be more fine-tuned\, leading to better leakage performance and ultimately positive outcomes for customers\, society\, the environment and the water companies themselves.  \nShare\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp\n			\n				Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n				Reddit\n			\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print\n			Like this:Like Loading...

SUMMARY:FedCSIS 2026
DESCRIPTION:21st Conference on Computer Science and Intelligence Systems \nFedCSIS 2026; https://2026.fedcsis.org \nRiga\, Latvia\, 23-26 August\, 2026 \nThe 21st Conference on Computer Science and Intelligence Systems (FedCSIS 2026) cordially invites you to organize a Thematic Session. The FedCSIS conferences consist of the Main Track\, which recognizes five Topical Areas: \n\nTopical Area 1: Advanced Methods of Artificial Intelligence\nTopical Area 2: Intelligent Data Processing and Infrastructure\nTopical Area 3: Networked Intelligence Systems and Security\nTopical Area 4: Intelligence Technologies for Business and Society\nTopical Area 5: Intelligent Software and Service Engineering\n\nThe role of Thematic Sessions is to enrich and deepen coverage of the five Topical Areas discerned within the Main Track. Many Thematic Sessions are recurring yearly events\, but we also solicit and welcome proposals for new ones\, until November 25\, 2025. The Thematic Sessions can run over any span of time within the conference dates; from half-day to three days (depending on the number of accepted submissions\, which depends directly on the results of the review process). \nFedCSIS is a large rigorous scientific conference staged in Europe. Annually\, it attracts ~300 submissions from ~40 countries from around the world. Papers are accepted in three categories: regular (full and short)\, position\, and communication. All regular\, presented\, papers are submitted to IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Moreover\, many Technical Sessions offer post-publication opportunities (journals\, Springer volumes\, etc.) after appropriate extensions and changes. Position and communication papers are published in separate volumes of the Annals of Computer Science and Information Systems book series. All papers are published with ISBN\, ISSN and DOI numbers\, and submitted to\, and indexed in\, the most influential indexing services. Since 2012\, the FedCSIS Proceedings are indexed in SCOPUS and Web of Science. \nAny newly proposed Thematic Session will be evaluated on the basis of scientific/technical interest and its relevance to practitioners in the proposed topics\, the clarity of the proposal in addressing the requested information\, the innovativeness of the topics\, the level of correspondence and the “value-added” to the FedCSIS Main Track. It is important to stress that the newly proposed Thematic Sessions should be “thematically orthogonal” to the ones offered in the past (in 2025\, in particular). Moreover\, it is required that the organizers of the Thematic Sessions will represent at least three different countries. \nCall for Papers\, for the Thematic Sessions\, will be announced by: (1) by FedCSIS Chairs in the “generic” Calls for Papers\, to reach out to the computer science and intelligence systems researchers at large; and (2) by the Thematic Session Organizers in the Calls for Thematic Session Contributions\, to reach out to the professional communities involved in research addressed by their Thematic Session. All papers (for the Main Track and Thematic Sessions) will have to be submitted to the FedCSIS Conference System (EasyChair). \nThematic Session proposals should include the following information (3 pages maximum): \n\nThe title and acronym of the proposed Thematic Session\, and the list of topics.\nA brief explanation of why the proposed Thematic Session will fit into the FedCSIS aims and program\, including its relation to the selected Topical Areas of the Main Track.\nThe contact information of the Thematic Session Organizers\, including their affiliations\, links to their personal websites (Google Scholar profile\, required\, in particular)\, and an overview of previous experiences with organization of scientific events.\nPreliminary list of Reviewers who have agreed (or are likely to agree) to join. Thematic Session Reviewers will become members of the Program Committee of FedCSIS 2026.\nIndication of the expected number of papers/attendees.\nInformation about planned post-publications of extended and revised papers in high-quality journals\, edited volumes\, etc.\n\nThematic Session Organizers should email their proposals (in a single pdf file) by November 25\, 2025 to the FedCSIS Secretariat at: secretariat@fedcsis.org \nMore information concerning FedCSIS and can be found at: https://2026.fedcsis.org/ \nShare\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp\n			\n				Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n				Reddit\n			\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print\n			Like this:Like Loading...
