Objectives:

The steadily rising energy cost and the need to reduce the global
CO2 emission to protect our environment are today's economical and
ecological drivers for the emerging consideration of energy
consumption in all fields of communications. Triggered by network
operators experiencing energy cost as a significant new factor of
their calculation, researchers have started to investigate approaches
for reducing power consumption and manufacturers have started
offering energy-efficient network components. Also standards bodies,
such as the IEEE, are already developing standards for energy-
efficient protocols. However, research and development in these areas
is still at an early stage and the space of potential solutions is
far from being explored.

The Second International Workshop on Green Communications will bring
together academic and industrial researchers for discussing energy-
efficient communications. After the successful first workshop on
green communications at ICC 2009 in Dresden, Germany, it will
continue to serve as a forum for addressing research challenges
between the already established conferences and workshops covering
energy efficiency for IT on one side and for wireless sensor networks
on the other side.

Topics of Interest:

We solicit contributions that report recent results, share
experiences, or address research challenges in energy-efficient
network protocols and devices and in energy management. Particularly,
we want to identify and address issues with a very high potential for
significant energy saving, including access network infrastructures,
home networks, and terminal equipment, but excluding energy
efficiency for IT (specifically data centers), sensor networks,
mobile ad-hoc networks, and mesh networks.

Areas of interest include but are not limited to

* Energy-efficient protocols and protocol extensions
* Energy-efficient transmission technologies
* Cross-layer optimizations
* Energy-efficient technology for network equipment
* Energy-efficient switch and base station architectures
* Low-power sleep mode
* Exploitation of passive network elements
* Energy-efficient communications management
* Architectures and frameworks
* Hierarchical and distributed techniques
* Remote power management for terminals
* Context-based power management
* Measurement and profiling of energy consumption
* Instrumentation for energy consumption measurement
* Operator experiences
* Energy-efficiency in specific networks
* Mobile and wireless/wired access networks
* Broadband access networks
* Management of home and office networks

Paper Submission Guidelines:

We invite you to submit your papers to the Second International
Workshop on Green Communications. Submitted papers must represent
original material that is not currently under review elsewhere, and
has not been previously published. All papers will be properly peer-
reviewed by members of the technical program committee and other
experts active in the field to ensure high quality and relevance to
the workshop. Paper length should be no more than five (5) pages,
a maximum of one (1) additional page will be allowed but will incur
additional page charges for publication of the camera-ready version.
Papers with more than six (6) pages will not be reviewed. Submissions
must use double column format, including tables, figures, and
references, with a font no smaller than 10 points. Please use the
Transactions stylesheet template provided by IEEE to assure that your
submission meets our guidelines. Papers must be submitted in PDF
format through the EDAS conference system by selecting the "GC'09"
"Submit" link at the EDAS paper submission website and then selecting
the workshop submission link for "2nd GreenComm09". Accepted papers
will appear in the GLOBECOM workshop proceedings and will be included
in IEEE Xplore. At least one of the authors of accepted papers must
attend the workshop to present its paper. Papers are to be submitted
no later than 30 June 2009.

For any question or problem related to the paper submission process,
please contact quittek-AT-nw.neclab.eu with e-mail Subject: 2nd
GreenComm09 workshop submission problem.
