SGCS 2013 - The 2013 International Workshop on Smart Grid Communications & Security (SGCS 2013)

Smart grid” concerns the modernization of electric grids to more efficient generation, transmission, distribution and usage of energy. In this regard, it is anticipated that many off-the-shelf and commercial communication technologies, ranging from embedded sensing, wireless communications, pervasive computing, adaptive control, smart phones and many others, will have direct applicability to smart grid. However, allowing greater efficiency, reliability, resilience, sustainability, security, and stability of the traditional electrical grids still poses a number of challenges. The workshop “Smart Grid Communications & Security” is devoted to the recent progress on the advanced communications and information security technologies for the smart grids and their potential application to the smart grid.
