SCOPE
The First International Conference on Eco-Technology and Green Computing (GreenTech) focuses on the role of green ICT or Ecological Technology in accomplishing more eco-responsible and energy efficient solutions in computing and promoting environmentally friendly computer technologies and systems. The event aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners who are interested in both ICT and the ecological impact of computing on the environment. Experts from Industry who are committed to work on the development of eco-efficient technologies and technology applications are also welcome.

PUBLICATION
All submitted contributions will undergo peer review. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference and published in the GreenTech Conference Proceedings and by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes of ICST (LNICST). The proceedings will be available both in book form and via the SpringerLink digital library, which is one of the largest digital libraries online and covers a variety of scientific disciplines. LNICST volumes are submitted for inclusion to leading indexing services, including DBLP, Google Scholar, ACM Digital Library, ISI Proceedings, EI Engineering Index, CrossRef, Scopus and Zentralblatt Math, as well as ICST's own EU Digital Library (EUDL).
