Scope and Motivation
Worldwide science foundations and governments currently support the development and planned deployment of Smart Grids. However, many interesting research questions still need to be answered. A number of focus domains are distinguished: (i) smart metering: monitoring and customer involvement in energy usage, (ii) demand side and demand response management and real time pricing, (iii) a Home Energy controlling box (Internet box like), (iv) ICT readiness for Mobile Electricity Consumers, (v) efficient management of energy sources (conventional such as power plants and green such as wind/solar as well as excess power generated by the customers and sold to providers), and (vi) management of transmission networks and distribution networks (including the main grid as well as micro grids such as municipal or regional grids).
This symposium especially focuses on the design and implementation of management applications to realize the mentioned focal points. Efficient management of the smart grid networks, based on obtained monitoring information is fundamental for allowing efficient operation of Smart Grids.
Moreover, this symposium welcomes papers on software services, provided on top of Smart Grids, allowing the end-user to interact with the Smart Grid: examples include home automation and mobile systems, industrial and enterprise applications, context-aware applications, personalized applications, recommendation applications, remote appliance maintenance and management, etc.
