Abstract :
For EC2ND 2011, a special emphasis was given to the protection against attacks in "special environments," such as the ICT component of the smart grid, or the protection against attacks that could cause a large societal impact. To complement the research papers, also a panel was organized to discuss security issues in the smart grid. The members of the panel represent several of the actors involved in the development and deployment of the smart grid, such as government agencies, companies selling equipment and software, companies producing and distributing electricity, as well as researchers in both computer science and power engineering.
