Sixth INTERNATIONAL GREEN and SUSTAINABLE COMPUTING CONFERENCE (IGSC15)
Formerly known as International Green Computing Conference (IGCC)
http://igsc.eecs.wsu.edu
November 18-20 2015, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
IGSCí15 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 consist of technical papers, panels, workshops, and tutorials on these topics. IGSC15 will be technically co-sponsored by the IEEE. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Sustainable Computing
- Power- and thermal-aware algorithms,
software and hardware
- Low-power electronics and systems
- Power-efficient multi/many-core chip design
- Application-specific ASICs and FPGAs
- Sensing and monitoring
- Power and thermal behavior and control
- Data centers optimization
- Smart grid and microgrids
- Power-efficient delivery and cooling
- Reliability, life-cycle analysis of IT equipment
Computing for Sustainability
- Renewable energy models and prediction
- Matching energy supply and demand
- Smart transportation and electric vehicles
- Smart buildings and urban computing
- Energy harvesting, storage, and recycling
- Climate and ecosystem monitoring
- IT solutions for water quality, air pollution, and
sustainable agriculture
- Computational models for epidemics, infectious
diseases, and human well-being
- Computational methods for sustainable
economy and society
