Call for Papers (pdf)

The goal of GreenCom 2011 is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange their new ideas, novel results, work in progress and experiences on all aspects of green computing and communications, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future directions. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: •  Systems, Models and Algorithms A1 Green computing models, methodologies and paradigms A2 Green design, manufacture, use, disposal, and recycling of computers and communication systems A3 Green software engineering A4 Sustainable computing A5 Energy-aware computing A6 Energy-aware scheduling A7 Energy-aware software A8 Energy-efficient network services and operations A9 Carbon management policies and ecology- related issues with ICT •  Design Methodologies and Tools B1 Green design for materials and devices B2 Green design for VLSI and micro-architecture B3 Energy-aware design for programming, algorithm and software architecture B4 Energy-aware design for system-level software, such as operating systems, compilers and programming environments B5 Energy-aware hardware/software co-design B6 Virtualization and thin client methods B7 DPM/DVFS B8 Thermal management and applications B9 Energy-efficient network infrastructures and protocols B10 Performance characterization and evaluation for green computing systems and applications B11 Standards and metrics for green computing and communications B12 Energy consumption simulation, optimization, management and evaluation tools •  Applications and Interdisciplinary Topics C1 Relationship among energy consumption, speed, s ecurit y, safety, availability, fault tolerance and reliability C2 Energy-aware high performance computing and applications C3 Energy-aware large scale distributed systems, such as Grids, Clouds and service computing C4 Energy-aware network equipments and applications C5 Energy-efficient mass data storage and processing C6 Green computing in m ulticore/manycore systems C7 Green computing in data centers, embedded systems and supply chains C8 Low-radiation in w ireless devices and e-waste C9 Computer occupational diseases and INTERNET harmful information filtering C10 Ergonomics C11 Applications in environment protection, healthcare, creature conservation, mobile, avionics, aerospace, control, etc. C12 Education, experience, case studies, and lessons learned for green computing systems and applications All papers must be written in English and submitted electronically through http://GreenCom2011.comp.polyu.edu.hk . Paper submissions should be 10 pages in two-column, single-space, 10pt format that describe original work not previously published and not concurrently submitted elsewhere. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors must attend the conference to present the work in order that the accepted papers can be put into the digital library of IEE E CS (indexed by EI Compendex). Selected bested papers will be recommended for publication in special issues of several SCI-indexed journals, including Journal of Systems Architecture.
