Dear friends,

the Smart Grid will be an example of a huge and complex distributed 
system with unsolved problems of architecture, control, security, risk and 
performance. Information technology and computer science play a key roll
for the solution of these problems. It is therefore of great importance to 
study the related research problems ahead of time.

NetSys is an excellent occasion to meet and discuss the problems, methods 
and experiences of the Smart Grid as a Distributed System.

Please notice the attached Call for Contributions which appears also on the
NetSys Website www.netsys2013.de. Please forward the Call for Contributions
to experts who may contribute to the Workshop.

Wishing you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Yours

Paul. J. Kuehn
