Call For Papers

The 2nd IEEE LCN Workshop on Smart Grid Networking Infrastructure (SGNI)

    To be held in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2011
          http://www.ieeelcn.org

Deadline Extended to: May 27th, 2011


Topics of Interest

   Original, unpublished and unsubmitted work is sought in terms of
   algorithms, techniques, architectures, position papers, visionary
   approaches and modeling to enable the resilient, reliable and secure
   Smart Grid. One of the main themes of the workshop is the real-time or
   near real-time communications with guarantees. When the number of
   devices, from smart appliances to the Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs),
   and the possibilities of different technologies, especially for the
   last-mile, are considered, Quality-of-Service (QoS) provisioning
   becomes a challenging endeavor. Other focal points comprises security,
   data aggregation, Smart Grid monitoring and self-healing. Two-way
   information flow and the voluminous data to be generated by the
   Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED) are likely to put significant
   strains on the privacy and security of the data as well as its
   dissemination in the distributed setting as envisioned for the Smart
   Grid.
   The workshop program invites papers on various aspects of the Smart
   Grid Networking topics including, but not limited to, the following:
     * Wireless communications for Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)
       and for the Smart Grid last mile
     * Service-Oriented and QoS architectures (DiffServ, IntServ, MPLS,
       etc.) for Smart Grid
     * Security and QoS trade-offs in Smart Grid
     * Home Area Networking (HAN) technologies with smart meters
       (OpenHAN, sensors, Zigbee, etc.)
     * Secure and flexible data aggregation, privacy considerations, and
       network data anonymization
     * Mobility issues of maintenance and installation dispatch teams of
       the Smart Grid
     * Demand Response with dynamic pricing on a real-time (or near
       real-time) basis, such as Open Automated Demand Response (Open
       ADR)
     * Intelligent status monitoring, fault detection, isolation,
       self-healing, outage management, disaster prevention and recovery
       systems, real-time load balancing, dynamic discovery
     * Energy-efficient transmission switching and routing technologies
       for the Smart Grid infrastructure and communications
     * Neighborhood Area Networks (NAN) using wireless mesh networks
     * ANSI C12.22 and IP interoperability and other compatibility issues
       in the Smart Grid
     * Multicast and multicast data authentication for the Smart Grid
     * Wide area situational awareness (near real-time) monitoring and
       performance
     * Communications among Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED) and
       end-to-end IED services
     * QoS assurances for a wide range of applications (including
       NASPInet Class A, B, C, D) with different bandwidths, latency and
       reliability requirements
     * Next-generation Distributed Network Protocol (DNP3) and
       Inter-Control Center Protocol (ICCP)
     * Precision time synchronization protocols for the Smart Grid for
       real-time operation (Wide area time domain GPS synchronized
       sampling systems (WATSS) )
     * Wide area monitoring, protection, automation, communications, and
       control (WAMPACC) message exchange protocols, Wide Area
       Measurement System (WAMS), SCADA
     * Networked Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) for wide-area monitoring
       and forensics of the Smart Grid disturbances
     * Transport layer mechanisms for PMU high streaming data
       applications, such as Stream Control Transport Protocol (SCTP)
     * Disseminating power grid status information within and between
       power utilities
     * Middleware for E2E guarantees for WAMPAC applications
