 Dear colleagues in wireless sensor networks and smart grids,

It is my great pleasure to announce that the special issue on ''From
Conventional Wireless Sensor Networks to Smart Grids'' with International
Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks is now open for submissions. For
detailed information, please see below and the attached CFP flyer.  

>>From Conventional Wireless Sensor Networks to Smart GridsCall for Papers

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have received significant attention in the
past ten years and have found a variety of applications in environmental
monitoring, precision agriculture, and human health monitoring, among
others. Particularly, WSNs are expected to lie at the heart of the emerging
generation of the power grid, known as the smart grid.

Essentially, a smart grid is an electrical grid that is characterized by
its cyberphysical nature which integrates communication, computation, and
control capabilities. A smart grid can be viewed in two ways: from the
perspective of energy transmission and from the perspective of information
transmission. In the latter, the smart grid is viewed as a sensor network
gathering distributed information from suppliers and consumers. The study
on smart grids from these two key perspectives is important to its
successful deployment.

>>From an information transmission point of view, the smart grid integrates
important sensing capabilities that can mimic several WSN features. These
include distributed data collection within a large scale networking
environment as well as accurate and robust sensing infrastructures (e.g.,
advanced metering infrastructures). The interplay between the power price
adjustment and the end users' power usage distinguishes smart grids from
conventional WSNs. New application-oriented challenges also emerge within
the context of smart grids.

This strong interconnection between the smart grid and WSNs warrants
significant attention from the research community. To this end, this
special issue aims to gather contributions that marry concepts from WSNs
and the smart grid in both theory and engineering implementation. Potential
topics include, but are not limited to:

   - Applications of game theory, optimization in integrated WSNs and smart
   grids
   - Models and algorithms that improve the integration of sensor networks
   in energy grids
   - Distributed algorithms for collaborative information
   - Large-scale integration of renewable energy and virtual power plants
   - Information and communication technology for WSNs and smart grids
   - Advanced metering, data acquisition and monitoring
   - Cyber and physical security systems
   - Markets, incentives, regulation, and dynamic pricing
   - Field trials, model regions and user acceptance
   - Hardware for WSNs or smart grids
