The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network that uses sensors, cloud computing, and other technologies to interconnect small electronic devices. These devices can transmit data and communicate with each other. The IoT has a wide range of applications. One of the most important applications of IoT is the smart grid. Driven by countries to promote the upgrading of power grid infrastructure, the global smart grid market has continued to grow steadily. It is expected to grow from $73.11 billion in 2017 to $119.74 billion in 2025. The IoT-driven smart grid has become a hot area of research. Therefore, it is the perfect time to invest in a research initiative, e.g., through the 6th SGIoT 2022 conference, in the IoT-dominated smart grid area. The 6th SGiOT 2022 aims to tackle the challenges of IoT-driven smart grid, covering topics ranging from technology issues to new applications, especially focusing on current, novel, and future next-generation IoT-driven smart grid technologies, 5G, 6G, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Cloud/Edge Computing, and related topics. The 6th SGIoT 2022 aims to bring together researchers, leading academic scientists to share their experiences and research findings on all aspects of IoT-driven smart grid. It also offers a leading interdisciplinary forum for academics, educators, and practitioners to present and discuss the latest technologies, developments, practical challenges, and approaches to IoT-driven smart grid. Prospective authors are cordially invited to submit their original and unpublished research contributions to the 6th SGIoT 2022. Papers, posters, demos, application developers, and researchers are particularly welcome.

To address and solve many of the tough challenges in the IoT-driven smart grid, prospective authors are cordially invited to submit their original and unpublished research contributions to this event on the following technical areas of (but not limited to) smart grid communications and IoT:

1. Communication networks for smart grids and smart metering
2. Sensor, actuator, and machine-to-machine (M2M) networks for smart grid
3. Ultra-reliability and low-latency in 5G
4. Machine learning for smart device networking
5. Control techniques for smart grid energy systems
6. Demand-side management, demand response, and dynamic pricing for smart grid
7. Renewable energy technology and smart grid technologies
8. Emerging applications, services, and management models of smart grid
9. Reliability, availability, resiliency, and robustness of the smart grid
10. Empowering intelligence at the grid edge
11. New trends and technologies for smart grid
12. Smart grid cyber security
