Networks and Architectures Track 2 - Smart Control and Operation Track 3 - Grid and
Components and Track 4 - Data Management and Grid Analytics. Aside from the technical paper
presentations the book also contains five invited talks and two technical workshops. The two
workshops organized were: the Improving the Robustness of Urban Electricity Network (IRENE) and
Wireless Communications and Networking Technologies for Connected Smart Grids (WCSG). The IRENE
workshop aimed to address the new dimension of threats in the critical infrastructures through
demonstration of IRENE methodologies and approaches. The WCSG workshop aimed to gain insights
into key challenges understanding and design criteria of employing wireless technologies to
develop and implement future smart grids related services and applications.
