IGSC 2024

The 15th International Green and Sustainable Computing Conference

Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society & TC Parallel Processing

November 3, 2024, Austin, TX, USA, co-located with MICRO’24


CALL FOR PAPERS

The International Green and Sustainable Computing (IGSC) Conference provides a forum for presenting and discussing innovative research on a broad range of topics in the fields of sustainable and energy-efficient computing and computing for a more sustainable planet.



IGSC 2024 will be held in Austin, TX, USA, November 3, co-located with MICRO 2024. IGSC'24 will feature technical papers, panels, and a PhD Forum. Accepted IGSC papers will be invited to submit to a special issue on Carbon Efficient Computer Architectures and Systems in an IEEE Transactions on Computers (https://www.computer.org/digital-library/journals/tc/cfp-carbon-efficient-computer-architectures-and-systems). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:



Design and Implementation of HW/SW Platforms

· Self-sustaining sensing and edge computing

· Power-aware middleware solutions

· Efficient circuit design and domain-specific architectures for energy harvesting

· Low-power/thermal-aware systems, circuits, and architectures (e.g., embedded and CPS systems, ASICs, reconfigurable computing, on-chip networks)

· Power-aware neuromorphic systems

· Integrated operation of heterogeneous computing cores

· Low-power memory systems



Energy-Aware and Thermal-Aware Resource Management Algorithms

· Smart control for reduced energy and power

· Advanced and predictive models for energy, power and temperature

· Power-aware scheduling for real-time systems

· Software-defined networking for energy-efficient distributed systems

· Data analytics for energy efficiency



Application Design and Methodologies

· Sensor networks for climate and ecosystem monitoring

· Self-organized multiagent systems

· Smart grids, smart cities, smart manufacturing

· Intelligent transportation systems

· Autonomous and mobile systems

· Renewable energy systems

· Data center optimization and management

· Management of cloud computing systems



Paper submission guidelines:

IGSC 24 welcomes submissions that have not been published and that are not under review by other conferences or journals. All submissions will be rigorously evaluated on their originality, technical soundness, significance, presentation, and interest to the conference attendees.



The conference provides 2 tracks for technical papers: a regular paper track and a concept/position/WiP paper track. The page limit for the regular track submissions is 6 pages. The page limit for the concept/position/WiP track is 2 pages. Page limits include figures, tables and references. Please refer to the IGSC website (https://www.igscc.org/) for specific instructions related to paper submission. Accepted papers will be allowed up to two extra pages for an additional cost. IGSC bestows a best paper award as selected by a technical committee.

· The HotCRP system will be used to handle papers for this conference. Please follow these steps:

1. Set up an IGSC HotCRP account if you don't already have one, at https://igsc24.hotcrp.com

2.Log into the conference website for IGSC24: https://igsc24.hotcrp.com and follow the instructions on that page.



Double Blind Policy:

The IGSC Symposium uses a double-blind reviewing system. Manuscripts must not identify authors or their affiliations; those that do will not be considered. References to the authors’ prior work should be made in the third person, in the same way one would reference work by others. If necessary to maintain anonymity, citations may be shown as “Removed for blind review,” but consider that this may impede a thorough review if the removed citation is crucial to understanding the submission. When necessary, authors should cite widely-available Open Source software website(s) without claiming ownership. Grant numbers and other government markings should also be blinded during the review process. Placing a preliminary version of the unpublished paper on arXiv is not disqualifying, but it is also not encouraged. Similarly, if a paper can be unblinded by active search, this is not considered to undermine the spirit of the double-blind review. However, there are resources to blind open-source repositories for review, including: https://github.com/tdurieux/anonymous_github.

If you have questions about how to meet these guidelines, please contact the program chair before the submission deadline.

Paper publication:

We will publish papers in IEEE Xplore.

Trending Topics and Special Sessions 2024:

IGSC seeks proposals for Trending Topics and/or Special Sessions. Proposals for Special Sessions should include biosketches of the proposers, a brief description of the proposed topic and its importance, and a list of potential speakers/authors in the Special Session. Please submit Special Session proposals to one of the TPC Co-Chairs.



Student Research Forum:

The forum solicits extended abstract submissions from MS and doctoral students engaged in research on sustainable and energy-efficient computing as well as poster and project demos from all researchers, faculty, and students. Please refer to the IGSC website for submission instructions.

Industrial Partners:

The conference seeks industry partners and sponsors with opportunities for them to showcase their technologies. Please contact one of the General Co-Chairs.

Important dates:

Conference paper submission: July 15 Aug 5, 2024 (Extended)

(To help us plan ahead, prior abstract submission by July 8 is encouraged but certainly NOT mandatory. All papers submitted by July 29 will be fully considered.)

Reviewer deadline: August 16, 2024

Deadline for submitting Workshop and Special Session proposals: July 1, 2024

Deadline for submitting to Student Research Forum: See Research Forum Page

Notifications to authors: August 23, 2024
