Grid Interop Forum
Albuquerque, New Mexico
November 7 - November 9, 2007
The GridWise Architecture Council invites you to the first Grid Interop Forum, to be held in Albuquerque, NM, November 7 — November 9, 2007. GridWise envisions the nation's electric system - from central generation to customer appliances and equipment to the enterprise systems that help manage the various businesses - as a collaborative network of intelligent devices filled with information and abundant market-based opportunities. This forum is to develop actions on how to make this vision a reality and to determine how future architectures, designs, and solutions can co-exist as we move towards the integrated, transactive electrical grid system.
The deadline for the Call for Papers has passed, see the details on the process for more information.
Background
On April 11 and 12, 2007, the GridWise Architecture Council (GWAC) held a workshop with 45 experts in complex software system integration and interoperability. The participants represented various aspects of the electric system including reliability coordination, electric power company automation, buildings automation, and industrial systems automation, as well as the information technology and communications that enable this automation. For more information and workshop results, please visit the GridWise Interoperability Workshop webpage. A GridWise Interoperability Framework document (PDF 798KB) organizes interoperability concepts and issues.
