 Call for Papers
*IEEE Communications Magazine*Ultimate Technologies and Advances for Future
Smart Grid - UTASG*Aims and Scope*
In light of current worldwide efforts to achieve energy efficiency,
intensify usage of renewable energy sources, and reduce CO2 emissions,
current electricity networks face many challenges, stemming from
increasingly demand for electrical energy, as well as variable and
distributed production. Hence, an evolution to so-called Smart Grids is
inevitable. The Smart Grid is a complex end-to-end system, composed of
multiple interconnected power sub-systems, inter-related to each other
through diverse protocols with additional layers of technology (energy,
communications, control/automation and IT). Developing the Smart Grid thus
has become an urgent global priority, as its economic, environmental, and
societal benefit will be enjoyed by generations to come. The UTASG Feature
Topic is to support the evolving and advances of Future Smart Grid. The
papers published in UTASG should address the ultimate new technologies
required for underlying ICT architectures, monitoring and management
improvements for Smart Grid systems.

Topics to be covered by UTASG include, but are not limited to:

   - Dependable Smart Grid Information Networking
   - Service-oriented Smart Grid Control Approaches and Middleware
   - Cyber Security Systems
   - IP-Based Smart Grid Applications
   - Wide Area Protection, Communication, Monitoring and Control in Energy
   Systems
   - Energy Management Systems (with applications to building and home
   automation)
   - Wireless communications for Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)
   - Smart Grid last mile communication
   - Smart Grid and Area Networks (HAN, IAN, BAN, FAN and NAN)
   - Architectures and Models for the Smart Grid
   - Standardization, Interoperability and Coexistence

*Submission Guidelines*
Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible
to readers outside the specialty of the article. Authors must follow the
IEEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the
manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at
http://dl.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/pub_guidelines.html. It is very
important to note that the IEEE Communications Magazine strongly limits
mathematical content, and the number of figures and tables. Paper length
should not exceed 4,500 words. All articles to be considered for
publication must be submitted through the IEEE Manuscript Central (
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee) by the deadline.

*Important Dates*
Manuscript Submission Due: June 1 2012
Acceptance Notification: September 1 2012
Final Manuscript Due: November 1 2012
Publication: January 2013
