Call for papers of GPC-2021
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 16th International Conference on Green, Pervasive, and Cloud Computing (GPC-2021)
http://www.ieee-cybermatics.org/2021/gpc/
Haikou, China, November 17-19, 2021
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***** SCOPE *****
Green computing, in the context of cloud and pervasive computing, is an emerging research field in computer science and engineering. Pervasive computing and cloud computing are two promising paradigms that have been seeing exponential growth in the deployments and which, poised to take major roles in human's daily life. But in order to realize this potential, both will have to face the critical challenges related to energy consumption, for example, controlling the energy spent by the large-scale cloud data centers and prolonging the battery life of mobile devices in pervasive computing and Internet of Things (IoT). New concepts and technologies such as mobile cloud computing (MCC), software-defined networking (SDN), Edge/Fog and hybrid cloud services can be leveraged to make cloud data centers and pervasive wireless devices more energy efficient. They aid us shape a "green" world in the future.

***** SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION *****
All papers need to be submitted electronically through the conference submission website (EDAS) in PDF format at https://edas.info/.Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Submissions should be in English and at most 15 pages (PDF) including the bibliography and appendices with LNCS template?(Conference Proceedings guidelines | Springer)?Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the conference to present the work.
