ICECCS 2014 - 3rd International Conference on Eco-friendly Computing and Communication Systems

Eco-friendly, in the context of ICECCS 2014, refers to energy-efficient and environment-friendly aspects of computing and communication,(green IT or ICT) for sustainable growth. In other words, it refers to environmentally sustainable growth in computing and communication or ICT. Therefore, the theme for this ICECCS 2014 conference is “Computing and Communication for Sustainable Development". Some might refer it also to ‘green’ computing and communication, or, green ICT
Green computing is one of the emerging technologies that have garnered special attention. Green technologies in general are aimed at reducing the carbon emission to the atmosphere. These green technologies primarily focus on the environmental-friendly aspect of a product rather than focussing more on business aspect. Green computing is one of the components of green technologies which deal with the computing practices that are aimed at reducing carbon emission to the atmosphere, either directly or indirectly. This is sometimes called as energy efficient computing and is aimed at creating a sustainable technology. In recent years, the computing industry too, has come to realize that going green is in their best interest, both in terms of reducing costs and environment friendly. The research in this area is also requiring more attention towards providing better solutions.
Green ICT is one of the major focus and attention of not only environmental organizations, but also businesses industries. In recent years, the computing industry too, has come to realize that going green is in their best interest, both in terms of reducing costs and environment friendly. The research in this area is also requiring more attention towards providing better solutions.
ICECCS 2014 will provide a forum for presenting and discussing innovative research on a broad range of topics in the fields of sustainable and energy-efficient computing, and computing for a more sustainable planet. The conference will hold a technical program, panels, workshops, and tutorials on these topics. ICECCS 2014 will be technically co-sponsored by the IEEE, and the proceedings will be published by IEEE Digital Library / Xplore* (Approval Pending)
