Apologies for multiple postings. ================================= The International Conference on Computing, Networking and Communications Green Computing, Networking, and Communications Symposium (GCNC), ICNC 2013 San Diego, Jan. 28-31, 2013 http://www.conf-icnc.org/2013
Symposium Co-chairs Walid Saad, University of Miami, USA Email: [email protected] Vinod Namboodiri, Wichita University, USA Email: [email protected] Dalei Wu, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA Email: [email protected] The topic of green computing attracts growing attention due to various economical and environmental reasons. Recent studies have shown that the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced by computers, communication systems, and other information and communication technologies (ICT) alone is almost equivalent to that of the entire aviation industry. Moreover, according to many studies, ICT and computing resources are responsible for a percentage which varies from 2% to 10% of the world power consumption, due to the ever increasing diffusion of electronic devices. To reduce these environmental problems and maintain a sustainable environment, novel paradigms, methods, techniques, tools, and systems are needed so as to develop green computing and communication technologies with high energy efficiency, low greenhouse gas emissions, and better re-use of resources and material. The ICNC Green Computing symposium aims to gather researchers and visionaries from academia, research labs and industries working towards the ultimate goal of green ICT. To this end, this symposium solicits original theoretical, experimental, and design approaches that can cope with this paradigm shift towards green computing. The symposium also solicits the application of computing, communications, and networking technologies towards the development of sustainable energy systems that may include modernization of the electric power grid and the integration of distributed energy resources. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: · Green computing models, simulations, designs, and paradigms. · Energy-aware computing and communications. · Energy-efficient networking and computing infrastructures. · Energy-aware resource allocation and scheduling mechanisms. · Green materials and devices designs. · Usage of renewable energy for green ICT operation. · Cross-layer optimization of green networking infrastructures. · Life-cycle analysis of computing equipment. · Energy harvesting, storage, and recycling. · Climate and ecosystem monitoring. · Energy-efficient data center and cloud technologies. · Green high-performance computing and applications. · Realization of Smart Grids by the application of ICT · Integration of Distributed Energy Resources and EVs utilizing ICT Submission Guidelines Please follow the author instructions at http://www.conf-icnc.org/2013/author.htm Direct paper submission weblink of this symposium can be found at:http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=12273 _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
