We are very pleased to introduce the proceedings of the First EAI International
Conference on Smart Grid Inspired Future Technologies (SmartGIFT 2016). This was
the first SmartGIFT conference, aiming to create a forum for researches, developers,
and practitioners from both academia and industry to publish their key results and to
disseminate state-of-the-art concepts and techniques in all aspects of smart grids. The
37 scientific participants had many fruitful discussions and exchanges that contributed
to the success of the conference. Participants from 12 countries made the conference
truly international in scope.
