| The ISPLC conference
was started in 1997 by communications
researchers in Europe and Asia
as a forum for the discussion
of the issues associated with
the use of electrical power distribution
wires as a viable communication
channel. These pioneers have been
joined by an international team
of academics and industrial researchers,
as well as regulators, who made
ISPLC the leading technical conference
in the field of Power Line Communications.
ISPLC is held annually in Spring
(typically between late March
and early April) at different
locations. The contributions
presented at ISPLC span all
aspects of communications over
power lines, including access,
home networking, in-vehicle
applications, utility applications,
and more.
Further details on ISPLC history
(including past Conference Proceedings)
can be found at http://www.isplc.org
Since 2006, ISPLC is financially
and technically sponsored by
the IEEE Communications Society
(ComSoc) and has become the
flagship conference of the IEEE
ComSoc Technical Committee on
Power Line Communications (IEEE
TC-PLC).
The IEEE ComSoc Technical Committee
on Power Line Communications
organizes events, sponsors conferences,
contributes to the organization
of technical events along ComSoc
flagship conferences, promotes
the realization of special issues
on leading journals and magazines,
and assists in the development
of IEEE Standards in the area
of Power Line Communications.
Anybody can be a member of
the Technical Committee. To
become a member, go to the Technical
Committee webpage and follow
the instructions contained under
the "Membership" tab.
