GCM 2011 - 2nd International Workshop on Green Computing Middleware (GCM'2011)

Green computing is nowadays a major challenge for most IT organizations that involve medium and large scale distributed infrastructures like Grids, Clouds and Clusters. The GCM workshop will focus on next generation middlewares that will require solutions for all aspects of green computing such as energy efficiency, carbon footprint reduction and cooling management. These middlewares must take into account the impact of green computing on the traditional distributed system issues like Dependability, Scalabilitity, Performance and Configuration management. The workshop aims to provide a forum to a wide audience from both the academia and the industry to discuss recent and innovative results in the field. Topics of interest addressed by the GCM workshop include, but are not limited to:
Green architectures for Grids, Clouds and clusters
Design of green computing middlewares
Energy efficient large scale systems
Green-oriented Autonomic computing
QoS and green computing
Energy efficiency benchmarking and profiling
Green-aware configuration and resource management
Component model for green computing
Scheduling and control in green computing
Virtualization impact for green computing
Software engineering methodologies and tools for green computing
Reporting and exposing carbon and energy impact
Real life experiments
