INNOVATIONS IN BIO-INSPIRED COMPUTING AND APPLICATIONS, IBICA 2021
Abstract
We live in a world where data is becoming increasingly valuable and increasingly abundant in volume. All companies produce data from sales, sensors, and various other sources. The main challenges are how can we extract insights from such a rich data environment and if Deep Learning is capable of circumventing Big Data's challenges. To reach a conclusion, Social Network data is used as a case study for predicting sentiment changes in the Stock Market. The main objective of this paper is to develop a computational study and analyze its performance. Deep Learning was able to handle some challenges of Big Data, allowing results to be obtained and compared with real world situations. The outputs contribute to understand Deep Learning's usage with Big Data and how it acts in Sentiment Analysis.

Abstract
Disasters, both natural and man-made, are extreme and complex events with consequences that translate into a loss of life and/or destruction of properties. The advances in IT and Big Data analysis represent an opportunity for the development of resilient environments once the application of analytical methods allows extracting information from a significant amount of data, optimizing the decision-making processes. This research aims to apply the CRISP-DM methodology to extract information about incidents that occurred in the city of Lisbon with emphasis on occurrences that affected buildings, constituting a tool to assist in the management of the city. Through this research, it was verified that there are temporal and spatial patterns of occurrences that affected the city of Lisbon, with some types of occurrences having a higher incidence in certain periods of the year, such as floods and collapses that occur when there are high levels of precipitation. On the other hand, it was verified that the downtown area of the city is the area most affected by occurrences. Finally, machine learning models were applied to the data and the predictive model Random Forest obtained the best result with an accuracy of 58%.

Abstract
This paper proposes a decision support model to define electricity consumers' remuneration structures when providing consumption flexibility, optimized for different load regimes. The proposed model addresses the remuneration of consumers when participating in demand response programs, benefiting or penalizing those who adjust their consumption when needed. The model defines dynamic remuneration values with different natures for the aggregator (e.g. flexibility aggregator or curtailment service provider) and for the consumer. The preferences and perspective of both are considered, by incorporating variables that represent the energy price, the energy production and the flexibility of consumers. The validation is performed using real data from the Iberian market, and results enable to conclude that the proposed model adapts the remuneration values in a way that it is increased according to the consumers' elastic, while being reduced when the generation is higher. Consequently, the model boosts the active consumer participation when flexibility is required, while reaching a solution that represents an acceptable g tradeoff between the aggregators and the consumers.

PROGRESS IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, EPIA 2022
Abstract
In the upcoming years, European countries have to make a strong bet on solar energy. Small photovoltaic systems are able to provide energy for several applications like housing, traffic and street lighting, among others. This field is expected to have a big growth, thus taking advantage of the largest renewable energy source existing on the planet, the sun. This paper proposes a computational model able to simulate the behavior of a stand-alone photovoltaic system. The developed model allows to predict PV systems behavior, constituted by the panels, storage system, charge controller and inverter, having as input data the solar radiation and the temperature of the installation site. Several tests are presented that validates the reliability of the developed model.
