Do you need a UI? What is the threshold? Is a hotdog a sandwich? Things to think about when choosing an API Auth - Rules + roles + levels How easy is it to create new data types? Is it code or UI? Can my mom use it? Can you create one-off content types? (e.g. settings pages) Custom workflows dRafts, revisions, roll backs How are images handled? Do you need another service for that? Pre-determined UI Is custom UI possible? Two-way relationships? Tags? Data validation? UI + API? Hosting? Pricing? Content movability? Can you get your data out? Schemas Users Revisions CORS or realtime API? APIs Can you insert data via the API?

Managing Next Generation Energy Systems Cambridge University Background Stakeholders working with energy systems have to make complex decisions formulated from risk-based assessments about the future. The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation.
