Details of Winning Algorithms toward Construction of Regional Energy Systems to be Presented at the Lunch Session of the 83rd National Convention of Information Processing Society of Japan
The Hitachi Hokkaido University Laboratory (Hitachi Hokudai Lab.) established on the campus of Hokkaido University is collaborating with Hokkaido University and other stakeholders in the research and development of solutions to societal issues such as the shrinking population, declining birthrate, and aging population in Hokkaido.
To accelerate research through the sharing of societal issues that need solving and the use of open innovation, Hitachi Hokudai Lab. and Hokkaido University held a marathon-type programming contest (Future Autonomous Distributed City Development). This contest was a cloud-based event held for one month under the themes of stabilizing the power supply consisting of small, distributed grids integrated with electric vehicles and optimizing human/goods transport with the aim of achieving a sustainable low-carbon society and making the region more accessible and convenient. The number of registered participants came to more than 1,700 from regions throughout the world and more than 200 programs were submitted. The award ceremony will be held online during the lunch session of the 83rd National Convention of Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ). It will introduce the background to the contest, explain the problems posed, present awards to the top winners, and conclude with commemorative lectures by those winners.
