With the rapid increase in the use of smart devices, we are now able to collect big data on a daily basis. The data we are gather- ing and related problems are becoming more complex and uncer- tain. Researchers have therefore turned to AI as an efficient way of dealing with the problems created by big data. This special issue of ZTE Communications will be dedicated to development, trends, challenges, and current practices in artificial intelligence for the Internet of Things. Position papers, technology overviews, and case studies are all welcome. Appropriate topics include but are not limited to：展开更多

A smart grid is a power transmission and distribution network that can incorporate millions of sensors all connected through an advanced, two-way communications and data acquisition system to provide real-time monitoring, diagnosis and control. Smart grid enables more efficient, reliable and secure energy service, facilitate grid-integration of renewable systems and energy storage, and better routing of power and demand management. The move to a smarter grid promises to change the industry＇s entire business model and its relationship with all stakeholders, involving and affecting power companies, regulators, energy service providers, technology and automation vendors, and all consumers of electric power.展开更多
