From industrial manufacturers to homeowners, everyone wants to save energy, and save money. The SmartGrid is touted as a great boon to developed economies - reducing dependence on external energy supplies and improving the environment by managing consumption. Yet, it is still more concept than reality, more fragmented than pervasive. What are the facts and figures about SmartGrid, how does it work? What other innovations have emerged to meet these challenges?

• SmartGrid: network elements, potential reach
• Customer Control of Energy Supply: Smart Cities, Smart Homes
• Enabling Energy Efficiency Through Demand Response

In tandem with the growing use of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in regional infrastructure, automotive dashboards and personal communication devices are increasingly interactive with networks to send and receive location-aware data. This panel will explore connectivity options for on-board devices, modules, and location-aware services in connected or "smart" cars, and will put these new developments in context with the evolution of fleet management and asset tracking in vertical industries.

• Applications in Consumer Automotive & Fleet Management
• Leveraging 3GPP, IMS and Session Awareness
• Business Models and Billing Systems

Perhaps to a greater degree than the Energy industry, the public health care sector is feeling the pressure to evolve its practices with limited resources. Although healthcare relies on advanced network services within a hospital or campus environment, large-scale providers have yet to fully tap the potential for Mobile Health (mHealth) to facilitate better patient care.
