The 2011 International Workshop on Smart Grid Security and Communications (SGSC2011)

Co-organizers: Gary W. Chang, Tsong-Ho Wu
URL: http://sgsc.ee.ccu.edu.tw/
Abstract
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. Hence, there is a need for security strategies to protect core infrastructures when transforming conventional power networks to smart grids, for instance, from malicious code and cascading errors. 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.

The 2011 IEEE International Workshop - Ubiquitous Media and Embedded System (UMES 2011)

Co-organizers: Jianhua Ma, Laurence T.Yang, Daniel C. Doolan, Huangsheng Ning,Min Chen, Xingang Liu, Chenghua Li, Xiaocui Sun
URL: http://cse.stfx.ca/~UMES2011/
Abstract
Today with the fast developments in electronics industry and the amazing growing of the potential customers, media are increasingly ubiquitous: more and more people live in a world of Internet pop-ups and streaming television, mobile phone texting and video clips, MP3 players and pod-casting. These ubiquitous media creates our consumer and brand environment and has been contributing extensively and more closed to our life experience, especially its applications in mobile and other embedded devices. Therefore, the media, embedded and especially their emergence technologies have become the art-to-state research topics and are expected to be the important roles of human life in the future.
The IEEE International Workshop on "Ubiquitous Media and Embedded System" (UMES 2011) will address the broad challenges of integrating Ubiquitous Media technologies into everyday objects, devices and activities with ubiquitous computing and embedded system

The 2011 FTRA International Workshop on Cloud and Grid Interoperability (Cloud&Grid 2011)

Co-organizers: James J. (Jong Hyuk) Park, Rajkumar Buyya, Hai Jin, G.Kousalya, Ching-Hsien Hsu
URL: http://www.ftrai.org/cloudgrid2011/
Abstract
"Cloud" is a common metaphor for an Internet accessible infrastructure, hiding most of the implementation and deployment details in the field of ICT. Cloud Computing is becoming a scalable services delivery and consumption platform. The backbone behind Cloud Computing includes Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Virtualization of hardware and software.
The goal of Cloud Computing is to share resources among the cloud service consumers, cloud partners and cloud vendors in the cloud value chain. Cloud computing has been envisaged to be one of the main stream powering technologies of future ICT and next generation network.
The 2011 FTRA International Workshop on Cloud and Grid Interoperability focus on Interoperability issues of grid and computing domain. It mainly focus on designing interoperable components, experiences and lessons learnt from developing interoperable services in the cloud and grid environment.This workshop aims at providing a forum to bring together researchers for sharing and exchanging cloud and Grid computing related research, technologies, experience, and lessons for building clouds of interoperability and coordination capabilities and services.We believe this workshop will be a place to help the research community to define their novel ideas in the current state of grid-cloud interoperability issues. In addition the workshop will help to define the future goals and services that cloud needs to support in various intensive commercial and enterprise applications.

The International Conference on Smart Grid and Home (SGH 2011)

Co-organizers: James J. (Jong Hyuk) Park, Naveen Chilamkurti, Sang-Soo Yeo
URL: http://www.ftrai.org/sgh2011/
Abstract
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.
