Call for Papers

EAI SGIoT 2022 will be held as an on-site conference with an option to present remotely (or as a fully-fledged online conference, if the situation prevents the event from taking place on-site).

Although we will miss having everyone meet and connect in person, we feel strongly that knowledge exchange must continue, if not more so. That is why Accepted Authors who are unable to attend the event in person will be given an option to present remotely. In any case, all matters related to publication and indexing will remain unchanged. EAI is actively monitoring the COVID-19 situation to ensure the safety, comfort and quality of experience for attendees and a successful course of the event in 2022.

Accepted Authors will be notified about the final decision regarding the conference setting before the Camera-ready deadline.

Scope

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 Prospective authors are cordially invited to submit their original and unpublished research contributions to the 6th SGIoT 2022.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.

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

Publication

All registered papers will be submitted for publishing by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library: EAI SGIoT Conference Proceedings.

Proceedings will be submitted for inclusion in leading indexing services, such as Ei Compendex, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, DBLP, and EU Digital Library.

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to:

• Springer Wireless Networks Journal (WINET) (IF: 2.659)

All accepted authors are eligible to submit an extended version in a fast track of:

• EAI Endorsed Transactions on Scalable Information Systems (Open Access) – indexed in ESCI, Ei Compendex & Scopus
• EAI Endorsed Transactions on Internet of Things (Open Access)

• EAI/Springer Innovations in Communications and Computing Book Series

Paper submission

Papers should be submitted through EAI ‘Confy+‘ system, and have to comply with the Springer format (see Author’s kit section).

All conference papers undergo a thorough peer review process prior to the final decision and publication. This process is facilitated by experts in the Technical Program Committee during a dedicated conference period. Standard peer review is enhanced by EAI Community Review which allows EAI members to bid to review specific papers. All review assignments are ultimately decided by the responsible Technical Program Committee Members while the Technical Program Committee Chair is responsible for the final acceptance selection. You can learn more about Community Review here.
