GreenCom 2011 Call for Papers
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 2011 IEEE/ACM International Conference on
Green Computing and Communications (GreenCom 2011)

Sponsored by IEEE, IEEE CS, IEEE TCSC, ACM and NSFC
Chengdu, Sichuan, China, August 4-5, 2011 (Tentative)

Website: http://GreenCom2011.comp.polyu.edu.hk
The submission system was open on Feb. 20, 2011.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Computers, communication systems and other IT infrastructure have been
posing severe environmental problems by consuming significant amounts of
electricity, increasing greenhouse gas emissions, and causing pollution
during their production and disposal. To reduce these environmental
problems and create a sustainable environment, new models, algorithms,
methodologies, tools and systems are needed so we can generate green IT
systems with high energy efficiency, low greenhouse gas omissions, less
harmful materials and easily being reused and recycled. 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:

A. 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

B. 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

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

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS

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 IEEE 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: Embedded Software Design (Elsevier).
