(Extended Deadline: July 15, 2012) The 1st IEEE Workshop on Cognitive and Machine-to-Machine Communications and Networking for Smart Grid (ComeOn) will be held jointly with IEEE SmartGridComm 2012 on November 5, 2012, in Tannan City, Taiwan. It is aimed at bringing together researchers from academia, industry and governments. Many existing communication technologies such as wireless, optical, as well as power line communications will have direct applicability to be part of the smart grid communication infrastructures. Wireless access networks and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) will play a major role in automatic meter reading, remote system monitoring, remote home/customer site monitoring, and equipment fault diagnosing. Core to a proper functioning of said next-generation grid is the collection of real-time status and quality control data from the many crucial points in the grid, ranging from transportation/distribution/consumer networks; and, most importantly, the analytics behind the data collection and decision making based on collected data. The former thus strongly calls for machine-tomachine (M2M) principles to be applied in the grid and the latter requires cognitive networking approaches to ensure viable operations. The workshop is now accepting paper submissions through EDAS in all areas of communications within power substations, including, but not limited to: - Cognitive Radio Communication Infrastructure for smart grid - Physical and MAC protocol design for smart grid - Multi-hop cognitive radio communications for smart grid - Novel communication architecture for smart grid - Performance measurements for cognitive radio based smart grid communications - New media applications for smart grid - Cognitive radio networks security issues for smart grid - The reliability of smart grid system over cognitive radio networks - Other topic related to either cognitive radio networks and smart grid - Cognitive radio standardization for smart grid - M2M architecture and services for smart grid Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review elsewhere, and has not been previously published. Papers should be of sufficient depth for review by experts in the field and must have no more than five pages in 10 point Times Roman format (or equivalent font). This length includes everything: figures, tables, references, appendices and so forth. Submissions must follow IEEE guidelines for conferences. Papers must be submitted in PDF format through the EDAS conference system https://edas.info/N12449.
