SPECIAL WORKSHOP TRUSTWORTHINESS OF SMART GRIDS

Large power grids are extremely complex systems. Dealing with highly dynamic phenomena in protection and control, algorithms require long-distance, high-volume and highly reliable data communications. Electric grids are getting increasingly stressed each year. An Industrial Internet for Electricity can help mitigate grid stress.
The ToSG workshop will provide a much better understanding of dependability issues involved with the Smart Grids dependency on ICT and to help stimulate research to improve grid trustworthiness by bringing together the electric power researchers and dependable computing communities. The workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary community that will bear fruit well past the end of this session.
