Workshops


Communication and Control for Smart Energy Systems (CCSES) – Full day workshop

Monday 28 April  9:00 – 17:00

Room:  Pier 2

Program:

9:00-10:00 Plenary Talk (Alberto Leon-Garcia) - Control and Management of Smart Grids

In this talk we will examine whether a single framework for control and management can be applied to a broad range of smart infrastructures, and to Smart Grids in particular.  We will begin with an introduction to the Janus Management System developed for the SAVI Network testbed.  Janus provides for the management of converged computing and network infrastructure using a single system that operates on top of OpenFlow for software-defined networking and OpenStack for cloud computing.  We will show how Janus enables the programmability of the infrastructure through the support of applications.  We will highlight the features in Janus that are intended to provide a general management framework.  We will then discuss the applicability of the Janus framework to the management of Smart Grid infrastructures.

Biography - Professor Alberto Leon-Garcia is Distinguished Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto.  He is a Fellow of the Institute of Electronics an Electrical Engineering "For contributions to multiplexing and switching of integrated services traffic". He is also a Fellow of American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Engineering Institute of Canada, and the Canadian Academy of Engineering.  He received the 2006 Thomas Eadie Medal from the Royal Society of Canada and the 2010 IEEE Canada A. G. L. McNaughton Gold Medal for his contributions to the area of communications. He was CTO and founder of AcceLight Networks.  Professor Leon-Garcia is author of the textbooks: Probability and Random Processes for Electrical Engineering, and Communication Networks: Fundamental Concepts and Key Architecture.  He is currently Scientific Director of the SAVI NSERC Strategic Network.

13:00 – 14:00 Plenary Talk (Srinivasan Keshav) - Smart Grid: Status and Challenges

Smart Grids have evolved from a topic of interest only to a handful of power engineers to a buzzword that attracts attention from  non-traditional industries (such as Cisco and HP), numerous governments as well as researchers in computer science, computer engineering, and artificial intelligence. Is there a reality behind the hype? How far away are we from seeing practical outcomes from the work so far? In this talk, I will attempt to assess the state of the art and point out some open research challenges.

Biography - S. Keshav is a Professor in the School of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo. He is an ACM Fellow and holds a Canada Research Chair as well as a Cisco Research Chair.
