Date

The workshop will take place on Friday, March 15, from 9:00 to 17:00.

Scope

The smart grid will be a complex distributed and networked system, collecting production and usage data, controlling energy flows, representing network components as resources, administering and connecting those resources by communication networks. The workshop objective is to identify new challenges posed by the application area of smart grids and to use or extend networked systems methodologies to solve those problems.

Authors are invited to submit work on issues related to, but not limited by, the following list of topics:

  • Monitoring, Data acquisition and Online Processing
    • sensors and real-time measurement methods (spatial, temporal, semantical)
    • state monitoring
    • smart metering
    • feature extraction
    • data fusion and aggregation
    • data representation
    • provisioning of measurement and control data
  • Communication Architectures and Protocols
    • modulation and coding schemes (e.g. OFDM, LDLC, ...)
    • transmission methods (e.g. PLC, optical, electric, wireless, ...)
    • network infrastructures (home, enterprise, access and core)
    • real-time communication protocols
    • interfaces and standards (e.g. home gateway)
  • Control methods
    • fault detection and localization
    • alarm detection
    • fault recovery, restoration, resilience
    • network stability
    • network organization (hierarchical, centralized, decentralized)
    • self-organization
    • remote control of devices
  • Security and Privacy
    • network and data security
    • encryption methods and key management
    • privacy
    • trust
    • cyber security
    • desaster protection and management
  • Analysis and Performance Evaluation
    • measurement and control data traffic and modeling
    • analysis of real-time behavior and capabilities
    • quality of service
