MOTIVATION AND SCOPE
The International Workshop on Green ICT and Smart Networking (GISN 2016) will be held in conjunction with the International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM 2016) in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, October 31st - November 4th, 2016.
New smart networked systems, like homes, factories, farms, grids or cities, are being introduced at unprecedented pace, helping tackle problems ranging from supply chain management to climate change. The integration of technology into a strategic approach to sustainability, citizen well-being, and economic development of society leads to multi-dimensional, encompassing different aspects of smartness and stressing the importance of interaction across multiple domains.
This one day workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both industry and academia to promote the discussion on smart and green solutions for stimulating, innovating, designing, provisioning, and optimizing networked society. We invite submissions on all aspects of networking and computing research that have a strong focus on smart technologies, cloud computing, green ICT, telecommunications, Future Internet, and environmental assessment.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Green Data Centers
- Green Cloud and Green Telco Cloud
- Smart networking technologies
- Energy efficiency in intra and inter data center network
- Broadband access technologies
- QoE/QoS
- Life-cycle analysis for smart ICT
- Sustainable Mobile Computing
- Multiservice platforms
- Renewable energy and ICTs
- Power measurement and smart meters in Future Internet
- Advanced analytical and behavioral learning systems
And their application to:
- Cloud computing and Smart Cities
- Smart home communications
- Smart transportation
- 5G and low-latency communications
