Call for Papers
The First International Workshop on Smart Grid Wireless Communications
In Conjunction with the IEEE PIMRC 2012, 9-12 September 2012, Sydney, Australia.

==================================================================
The First International Workshop on Smart Grid Wireless Communications -
"Wireless Communications - The Key Enabling Technology of The Smart Grid".
** Overview **
An integrated high performance reliable communications network is critical for
the successful development and deployment of the future electricity generation,
transmission, and distribution systems?known as the ?smart grid.? The future
smart grid will offer many benefits to the utility companies and the
electricity consumers in the form of enhanced operational efficiencies and a
flexible energy delivery system. The smart grid will offer these benefits by
enabling a broad range of utility applications, including advanced metering,
distribution automation, advanced demand response, outage management, mobile
workforce connectivity, distributed generation and plug-in hybrid/electric
vehicles (PHEVs) management systems. The smart grid architecture requires
innovative technical solutions in the wireless communications area. The smart
grid area opens up new research possibilities in wireless communications,
including intensive investigations on network architecture, protocol, coding &
Information theory, link design, heterogeneity, traffic modeling, cooperative
communication techniques, and other techniques.
** Topics of Interest **
The purpose of this workshop will present high quality unpublished research
papers on recent advances in wireless communications to support Smart Grid
systems. This workshop brings together members of the communications, power,
control and signal processing communities, working in both academia and
industry. We are seeking original research and technology development
contributions from academia, industries, regulatory bodies, as well as from
standardization bodies.
Specific topics of interest for the workshop include (but not limited to):
- Access management techniques
- Radio resource allocation techniques
- Coding techniques
- Interference management techniques
- Security in the Smart Grid
- Smart Grid traffic prediction/modelling
- Implementation and experiments on Smart
- Grid communication systems
- Wireless network architecture
- Home Area Networks for the Smart Grid
- Access Networks for the Smart Grid
- Simulation modelling of Smart Grid communication networks
- Smart grid applications and traffic modelling
- Sensor networks for the smart grid
- NAN/FAN/WAN architecture, protocols
- Channel models
- Machine to Machine communication
** Authors Guidelines **
Authors are invited to submit original contributions not previously published
or currently under review by any other workshop, conference, or journal. Papers
need to be uploaded via the EDAS PIMRC 2012 workshop submission
link (http://edas.info/N12349) of this workshop and should follow the PIMRC 2012 paper
submission guidelines. All submission must be written in English with a maximum
paper length of six (6) printed pages (10 point font) including figures and
references. Note that the maximum number of pages for a paper is 6; any
submission beyond 6 pages will not be accepted via the EDAS. All papers will be
fully reviewed by multiple reviewers. Accepted papers will be published in IEEE
Explore. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the
conference (e.g. removal from IEEE Explore) if it is not presented at the
workshop.
