IEEE SYSTEMS JOURNAL
Special Issue on "Smart Grid Communications Systems"

The future-generation power grid, also known as smart grid, is a modernized
grid that uses state-of-the-art information technology in the areas of
sensing, communications, monitoring, control and computing to improve
greenness, efficiency, security, sustainability and stability. The success
of smart power grid is highly dependent on the communication systems that
support efficient two-way energy and information flows. In addition to
delivering a large amount of power data, the communication architecture is
required to support demand response management, load balancing, self-healing
and operation in islanded mode, and seamless integration of renewable energy
sources. The emerging research field of smart grid has created
multi-disciplinary research opportunities and potentials.
The aim of this special issue is to present a collection of high-quality
research papers that report the latest research advances in smart grid
communication systems. 

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
.	Communications architectures and systems
.	Smart Meters and Automatic Metering Infrastructure (AMI)
.	Home-area, Neighborhood-area, Field-area, and Wide-area networks
.	Sensor and actuator networks for smart grid
.	Cyber-physical system and cyber-physical approach
.	Analysis, model, optimization, monitoring, and control
.	Security and privacy management
.	Demand response management
.	Greenness, efficiency, reliability, availability, robustness, and
fault-tolerance
.	Simulation related issues regarding Smart Grid communications 
.	Communication in Smart Grids applications, e.g., Home Energy
Management, AMI, Outage Management, Distribution Management, Distribution
Automation, etc.
