Due to shortage of energy resources, the "smart grid" technology has been 
promoted rapidly as a solution to solve issues of energy depletion, limited 
natural resources and global warming. These "smart grids" aim to provide 
electricity to end-users through a two-way digital technology that control 
end-users' devices to save power in a much more easy and simple way. That is, 
end-users will be able to allow the smart grid to remotely control all 
selected devices in their home conveniently and easily in accordance with 
tracks of all electricity flowing in monitoring systems. To realize the 
technology’s advantages, appropriate and novel middlewares, architectures and 
applications are required to construct a smart grid. In view of this, this 
special issue aims to seek original research papers and review articles and 
expects to enhance the state of the art in context-aware systems and 
intelligent middlewares to solve the various problems and challenges in 
designing a smart grid. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to
following:
•       Context-aware monitoring systems for smart grid
•       Intelligent agents in smart grid
•       Context-aware heterogeneous smart grid systems
•       Intelligent control systems for optimization of management for smart 
grid
•       Intelligent middleware for integration of devices for smart grid
•       Middleware-based development of applications and services for smart 
grid
•       Other context-aware system and intelligent middleware for smart grid

Tentative Schedule:
Paper Submission Deadline: March 15, 2011
