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.
