The next generation power grid, also known as smart grid, is expected to be
scalable, reliable, and secure and enhance efficient energy consumption and
deployment of renewable energy generation. The modern communications
technologies will play a vital role in the future smart grid infrastructures
by supporting two-way energy and information flow and enabling more
efficient monitoring, control, and optimization of grid functionalities and
smart power devices. The emerging field of smart grid has introduced a
variety of new challenges for the communications research communities. It
has also created several new multi-disciplinary research opportunities and
potentials for collaborations with industries and international smart grid
standardization bodies. The SG-COMNETS workshop will bring together
researchers from academia and industry to discuss challenges, exchange
ideas, and present recent research results related to all networking and
communications aspects in Smart Grid systems. SG-COMNETS workshop will
feature keynote speech, presentations, and panel discussion. The topics of
interest include (but not limited to):

- Communication Architectures and Protocols for Smart Grids
- Smart Grids for Green Communications and Green Computing
- Advanced Metering Infrastructure and Smart Meter Technologies
- Distributed Generation and Storage Systems
- Wide-area Measurement and Monitoring Systems
- Demand Response Management and Load Shaping
