*Call for Papers:*
Green computing in the context of cloud and pervasive computing is a
newly-emerging research field in computer science and engineering.
Pervasive computing and cloud computing are two promising paradigms in
human's daily life. With the exponential growth in the deployments of
techniques in pervasive computing and cloud computing, both of them have
to face the critical issues on energy consumption, for example,
controlling the energy consumed by the large-scale *cloud datacenters*,
and prolonging the battery life of *mobile devices* in pervasive
computing and Internet of Things (*IoT*). Therefore, new architectures,
systems and related techniques, such as *mobile cloud computing* (MCC),
*software-defined networking* (SDN) and *hybrid cloud services*, are
being developed to *make the computing in cloud datacenters and in
pervasive wireless devices more productive and energy efficient, for
shaping a "Green" world in the future.*
In the last eight years, the GPC conference has mainly focused on Grid
and Pervasive Computing, and has been successfully held and organized
all over the world. It was first held at Taichung, Taiwan in 2006. Then
it was succeed held at Paris, France in 2007, Kunming, China in 2008,
Geneva, Switzerland in 2009, Hualien, Taiwan in 2010, Oulu, Finland in
2011, Hong Kong in 2012, and Seoul, Korea in 2013, respectively. To
continue the previous conferences? success while timely contributing to
an environmentally sustainable computing for the next decade, the ninth
International GPC conference highlights a new conference theme on Green,
Pervasive and Cloud Computing (GPC 2014), which will be held at Wuhan,
China in May 2014. It aims to establish a high-standard world forum for
researchers and developers to share their excellent ideas and
experiences in the areas of green computing and communications in the
broad context of pervasive computing and cloud computing.GPC 2014
welcomes the original and innovative paper submissions from the
academia, industry and government, describing theoretical advances,
system design, implementation and experimentation on the following
topics, but not limited to:
* Energy-efficient computing, communication and virtualization
architectures and protocols
* Trade-offs between performance, energy and other resources in cloud
datacenters and pervasive computing
* Energy-aware mobile cloud systems and large-scale applications
* Energy management in multi-core systems, parallel and distributed
systems, machine to machine communications, social networks and services
* Energy-aware control in the Internet of Things, such as buildings and
electric vehicle systems
* Monitoring, sensing, control and management of energy-aware systems
* Integration, scheduling and management of renewable energy sources
* Modeling and control of variability in demand and supply of green
energy sources
* Instrumentation and measurement studies on energy-efficient systems
* Economy and business models in cloud computing and pervasive computing
* Incentives and innovative pricing for the management of cloud resources
* Service Level Agreements (SLAs) guarantee for customers in cloud computing
* Data analytics for energy-efficient systems
* Innovative technologies for robustness and reliability of energy-aware
systems
* Security and privacy in pervasive and cloud computing
