ISPLC 2015 will focus on key aspects of communications theory, algorithms, standards, measurements, and implementations pertaining to communications via power lines. Acceptance of submissions will be based on quality, relevance and originality. Accepted papers will be published in the ISPLC 2015 proceedings and IEEE Xplore. Proposals for special sessions are invited. The conference will also include keynote and plenary talks as well as an industry forum and exhibition.

Submissions are invited in, but not limited to, the following areas:

• PLC for smart grids

• Cognitive, cooperative, and autonomous approaches

• Modulation, coding and signal processing for PLC

• Electromagnetic compatibility, interference and coupling issues

• Multiple access techniques and protocols for PLC networks

• Cross-layer optimization and service integration

• System architectures and security issues

• PLC standardization

• Channel characterization, modeling, experimental systems, field trials

• Emerging PLC-related technologies

Important dates:
