The ISPLC will bring together academia and industry professionals as well as students and researchers to present and discuss ongoing work on existing and future power line communication (PLC) systems, PLC applications, PLC standardization activities with emphasis, but not limited, to:

Channel characterization and modeling
Electro-magnetic compatibility/interference and coupling
Modulation, coding techniques, and error control
Signal processing
Multiple access techniques and MAC protocols
Duplex and repeater techniques, routing, and autonomous network functions
Cognitive and Cooperative algorithms and approaches
Modem and LSI design
System architectures and solutions
Network planning, optimization and service management
Cross-layer optimization and service integration
Coexistence and interoperability
Security in PLC
Access PLC networks
In-home PLC networks
In-vehicle power line networks
Smart Grids
Green Communications
Broadband and multimedia applications
Experimental systems, field trials, and commercial networks
Standardization and regulation
Business perspectives

Contributions from related fields, as for instance wireless, provided that explain analogies/differences with PLC and stimulate cross-fertilization, are also welcome.
