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
