About ISPLC
ISPLC has been running annually since 1997 as a worldwide forum for communications researchers and engineers to discuss issues relating to the use of electrical power distribution cables as a viable communication channel. An international meeting point for academics and industrial researchers as well as regulators, ISPLC now is the leading technical conference in the field of Power Line Communications (PLC) and the flagship event of the IEEE PLC Technical Committee. Contributions presented at ISPLC span all aspects of communications over power lines, including smart grid communications, networks and analytics; in-home broadband communications; green communications; multi-input multi-output (MIMO) communications; in-car communications; electric vehicle charging systems; and sensor networks.
The most recent editions of ISPLC have been held in Glasgow (Scotland, 2014), Johannesburg (South Africa, 2013), Bejing (China, 2012), Udine (Italy, 2011), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil, 2010) and Dresden (Germany, 2009). The 2015 event will take place in the downtown area of Austin, Texas USA.
