SusTech 2014 - 2nd IEEE Conference on Technologies for Sustainability

The 2nd IEEE Conference on Technologies for Sustainability (SusTech), being held July 24-26, 2014 in Portland, Oregon, has issued its First Call for Papers.
Contributed papers and invited papers are being solicited in the following six areas:
Alternative Energy (e.g. solar, wind, tidal, fuel cells, energy harvesting, nuclear)
Energy Efficiency (e.g. sensors and measurement, energy saving controls, auto electronics & fuel economy, data centers, power saving, Smart Environment)
Transportation Electrification (e.g. electric vehicles, aviation, motors, drive controls, batteries, sensors, environmental & power distribution impacts)
Smart Grid (e.g. communications, control, power electronics, industrial and home applications, energy storage, demand control and response)
Sustainable Electronics (e.g. sustainable manufacturing, components, global materials supply, hardware life-cycle, nanotechnology & health/environment, reuse and repair of consumer electronics, materials harvesting from electronic waste, Open repair manuals and on-line repair and electronics sustainability resources, best practices)
Quality of Life (e.g. EM spectrum allocation, global warming, autonomous vehicles, health & medical electronics, global education & human resources, risk management, remediation, purification, public policy)
Tutorials, Workshops and Papers are solicited for both oral and poster presentation from industry, government and academia (including students) covering relevant research, technologies, methodologies, tools and case studies.
In addition, we are seeking proposals for tutorials and workshops on Certifications & Standards (e.g. verification, standards, regulations, compliance).
SusTech will feature contributed papers and distinguished invited speakers in each track. Full papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings and IEEE Xplore. Topics with policy implications are welcome, in both technologies for sustainability and sustainable technologies.
