This is translated into a framework. 3.TC8 is developing standards at the Utility needs and requirements level and collaborates with the other TCs that are developing technical specifications standards. 4.TC57 is responsible for power system management and associated information exchange. 5.WG14 (of TC57) is responsible for utility enterprise information exchange standards using the Common Information Model (CIM) 1.The ZigBee & HomePlug Smart Energy Alliance is currently sponsoring an activity to update its Smart Energy Profile to take advantage of the standard and technology neutral CIM. 2.This work is planned to be proposed to become a new part in the IEC 61968 series of standards. 1.The UCA (Utility Communications Architecture) User Group is dedicated to promoting the integration and interoperability of electric/gas/water utility. It is the User Community for all TC57 standards and other related users concerns. 2.The CIM User Group is a fast growing organization of CIM users that provide important feedback and suggestions to the SDO. 1.OpenSG Subcommittee is responsible for: (a) rationalization of standard-setting organizations to ensure that technical standards are developed with independence, transparency and broad industry representation and (b) ensuring Testing Standards and Certification Guidelines are defined and support functional and timing requirements of industry initiatives and evolution 1.AMI-Ent is a user-driven organization that starts with standards and extends them in an efficient and quick manner to meet current utility project requirements. 2.Appropriate extensions are fed back through the CIM User Group and/or directly to the IEC. 3.Artifacts of this organization are from the utility integration point-of-view, which is a superset of the application/product-oriented point-of-view of the generic IEC interfaces.

4. # 4 The ZigBee+HomePlug Technical Working Group Application Sub-Group Scope and Charter: –Is tasked with building an application layer standard for a HAN which allows energy applications to communicate with edge energy devices over an external network (AMI, broadband Internet, etc.) core using a common API and set of objects. –Is concerned with services and communications localized to a single HAN and those that enable communications to and from the HAN. –Shall use the ZigBee Smart Energy Profile as the forward starting point and its work shall be mapped to IEC 61968 (CIM) and any gaps identified.

5. # 5 The AMI Enterprise Task Force Scope and Charter –Defines requirements, policies, and services –Based on utility industry standards such as the Common Information Model (CIM) –Required for information exchange and control between the MDMS or MDUS and enterprise back office systems.
