Machine-to-Machine communications (M2M); Applicability of M2M architecture to Smart Grid Networks; Impact of Smart Grids on M2M platform

Highlights the applicability of M2M architecture to smart grid networks. Develops the most relevant Smart grids use cases, used to derive high level requirements. Provides a standard gap analysis (applicability of M2M APIs for Smart Grid applications, mechanisms to manage energy for end users, etc), and derives a set of recommendation for the work of ETSI M2M. Shows dependencies and relationships with other works within ETSI TCs and other standards organisations.
