THEME

Prompted by several recent catastrophes such as the US Northeast blackout of 2003 and Hurricane Katrina in 2005 together with the Energy Act of 2007, the term smart grid has become almost ubiquitous across the world as an entirely new technology that requires tremendous amount of inter-disciplinary research at the interface of control, communications and computing. The objective of this workshop is to initiate a dialogue between computer scientists, network theorists and power engineers to address such research challenges from a common platform through interactive discussions and brainstorming. Leading researchers from both academia and industry will present their cross-cutting research with topics ranging from wide-area monitoring, cyber-security, distributed computing and network control in transmission-level power systems to smart metering and decision-making for residential-level energy management. The overall motivation of the meeting will be to understand how diverse applications of cyber-physical system theory in smart grids can be integrated into a collective research framework, and how the analog and discrete research communities in North America can co-ordinate their expertise through this framework for making tomorrow's cyber-integrated energy infrastructure a success.
