(New Deadline: July 15, 2012)

The 1st IEEE Workshop on Cognitive and Machine-to-Machine
Communications and Networking for Smart Grid (ComeOn) will be held jointly with
IEEE SmartGridComm 2012 on November 5, 2012, in Tannan City, Taiwan. It is
aimed at bringing together researchers from academia, industry and governments.

?
Many existing communication technologies such as wireless,
optical, as well as power line communications will have direct applicability to
be part of the smart grid communication infrastructures. Wireless access
networks and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) will play a major role in
automatic meter reading, remote system monitoring, remote home/customer site
monitoring, and equipment fault diagnosing. Core to a proper functioning of
said next-generation grid is the collection of real-time status and quality
control data from the many crucial points in the grid, ranging from
transportation/distribution/consumer networks; and, most importantly, the
analytics behind the data collection and decision making based on collected
data. The former thus strongly calls for machine-tomachine (M2M) principles to
be applied in the grid and the latter requires cognitive networking approaches
to ensure viable operations. The workshop is now accepting paper submissions
through EDAS in all areas?of
communications within power substations, including, but not limited to:
- Cognitive Radio Communication Infrastructure for?smart grid
- Physical and MAC protocol design for smart grid
- Multi-hop cognitive radio communications for smart grid
- Novel communication architecture for smart grid
- Performance measurements for?cognitive radio based smart grid
communications
- New media applications for smart grid
- Cognitive radio networks security issues for smart grid
- The reliability of smart grid system over cognitive
radio networks
- Other topic related to either cognitive radio networks
and smart grid
- Cognitive radio standardization for smart grid 
- M2M architecture and services for smart grid
?
Submitted papers must represent original material that is
not currently under review elsewhere, and has not been previously
published.? Papers should be of
sufficient depth for review by experts in the field and must have no more than
five pages in 10 point Times Roman format (or equivalent font). This length
includes everything: figures, tables, references, appendices and so forth.
Submissions must follow IEEE guidelines for conferences. Papers must be
submitted in PDF format through the EDAS conference system https://edas.info/N12449.
