CALL FOR PAPERS

SMART GRID AND HOME 2011

In Conjunction with ISPA 2011

26 - 28th May, 2011, Busan, Korea
==============================================

Smart Grid and Home Environments (SGHs) are emerging rapidly as an exciting new paradigm including ubiquitous, grid, and peer-to-peer computing to provide computing and communication services any time and anywhere. To full realize the advantages of the paradigm, we require a host of suitable security services and their applications. They will offer the user remote access to all information about appliances in the workplace as well as at home, and help easily and conveniently use various services to enable working from home, and facilitate remote education, remote diagnosis, virtual shopping, network gaming, and portal & high quality VOD with no limitations on space and time.
SGH 2011 is intended to foster the dissemination of state-of-the-art research in the area of SGH including business models, security services, and novel applications associated with its utilization. As a follow-up of the symposium, we plan to publish high quality papers, covering the various theories and practical applications related to smart home. The published papers are expected to present the high level results to solve the application services and various problems in the various SGH fields. In addition, we expect they will trigger further related research and technological improvements of the SGH. The goal of the SGH-2011 is to bring together the researchers from academia and industry as well as practitioners to share ideas, problems and solutions relating to the multifaceted aspects of Information Technology.
Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical papers for presentation at the conference. Full papers have to be submitted via FTRA submission system. Proposals for tutorials are also solicited, addressing emerging topics that relate to technical issues in wireless communications and applications. All accepted papers will be published on IEEE Xplore(pending approval).

Submission Guidelines
=======================

There will be a combination of presentations including scientific papers.
Prospective authors are invited, in the first instance, to submit papers for oral presentations in any of the areas of interest for this conference.

Papers must strictly adhere to page limits as follows.
- Full Paper: 6 pages (Max 2 extra pages allowed at additional cost)
- Regular Paper: 4 pages (Max 2 extra pages allowed at additional cost)
- Poster Paper: 2 pages (FTRA Publishing Proceeding with ISBN)
Papers exceeding the page limits will be rejected without review.

The Conference Proceedings will be published by IEEE Press (IEEE eXpress Conference Publishing group) and all papers of the proceedings will be included in the IEEE Xplorer.
Please use the IEEE Conference Proceedings format (US letter size, available for download here: IEEE Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings) for submission. IEEE accepts both Microsoft Word and LaTex format. However, FTRA does not accept the use of LaTex. Therefore, you should use the Microsoft Word instead of using LaTex (The paper will be excluded from the proceeding if you use LaTex).
