1. INTRODUCTION

Computing and communication systems play key roles in modern IT infrastructure, affecting every aspect of life, including services related to health, banking, commerce, defense, education and entertainment. It has been viewed that there are tremendously increasing demands for computing, communication and storage systems since last decades. To fulfill such requirements, modern IT infrastructures have been extended and scaled, which brings various "green" related issues, such as energy consumption, heat dissemination, greenhouse emission and resource total cost of ownership.

To make the fully efficient use of computing and communication systems and reduce their environmental and social impact, green computing and communication research has increasingly become a hot topic of interest for the computer research and industry. The study of green computing and communication attempts to alleviate this problem by delivering both high performance and reduced power consumption, effectively maximizing total system efficiency.

GreenCom 2010 is the next event of the series of International Conference on Green Computing and Communications (GreenCom) after it has been held for 5 editions as a workshop or symposium, namely PerGrid-09 (Vancouver, Canada, August 2009), PerGrid-08 (Sao Paulo, Brazil, July, 2008), WESAPEC-07 (Jeju Island, Korea, October, 2007), Multisec-06 (San Diego, USA, December, 2006) and Multisec-05 (Irvine, USA, December, 2005). It will be an exciting international forum for researchers to exchange the information regarding advancements in the state of the art and practice of green computing and communications, as well as to identify the emerging research topics and define the future directions.
