****************************************************************************************
The 2012 International Workshop on Smart Grid Security and Communications (SGSC 2012) Gwangju, Korea, September 6-8, 2012 http://sgsc.ee.ccu.edu.tw/ In conjunction with 9th IFIP International Conference on Network and Parallel Computing (NPC 2012) http://www.ftrai.org/npc2012/ **************************************************************************************** ============================ Introduction ============================ With information communication technology advancing at transforming traditional electric power grid into a digital infrastructure with two-way capabilities for communicating information, controlling equipment and energy distribution. The Smart Grid concept arose in response to a combination of external factors that are economic, political, environmental, societal and technical in nature. At the power distribution system level, this concept has motivated the coordination and integration of modern energy, communications, control, and information technologies. However, the downside is that as the grid provides mission-critical services, which need to be secure and reliable. The underlying requirements for a reliable and secure Smart Grid pertain to an adherence to standards, best practices, as well as a high degree of architectural discipline. This workshop serves to unite common research interests in Smart Grid technologies to discuss and address related security issues, and share novel security solutions. ============================ Topics ============================ - Security standard for Smart Grid - Privacy protection in Smart Grid - Vulnerability analysis & risk management - Secure key management and access control in Smart Grid - Power distribution with full cyber security - Software security relevant to Smart Grid - Communication security in Smart Grid - Security of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) - Killer applications for Smart Grid - Reliable self-healing for Smart Grid - Information communication and control technology for Smart Grid - Secure routing and interconnectivity for Smart Grid - Scheduling, resource allocation and optimization methodology - Power distribution under computation and communication constraints - Incorporation of demand response, smart appliance and consumer devices - Consumer-to-consumer power re-distribution and networking ============================ Important Dates ============================ Paper submission extended due: March 31, 2012 Notification of acceptance: April 30, 2012 Camera-ready paper due: May 18, 2012 Registration due: May 18, 2012 Conference day: September 6-8, 2012 ============================ Submission Guidelines ============================ SGSC 2012 will seek original papers and experience reports. All papers and reports should be written in English conforming to the Springer Proceedings format (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0). All the submissions should be submitted by using Online Paper Submission System within 8 pages. If you want to submit more than page limitation, you can add up to 2 extra pages with the appropriate fee payment. ============================ Publications ============================ The Workshop Proceedings will be published as LNCS (indexed by EI and ISTP) series published by Springer (pending). Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Distinguished selected papers accepted and presented in SGSC 2012, after further revisions, will be published in the special issues of the following international journals: - The Journal of Supercomputing (JoS) - Springer (SCI) - Cluster Computing (CC) (SCI-E) - Human-centric Computing and Information Sciences (HCIS), Springer (Open Access) - Journal of Convergence (JoC), FTRA Publishing - International Journal of Information Technology, Communications and Convergence (IJITCC), InderScience. ============================ Organization Committee ============================ ==General Chairs== Gary W.
