GreenCom 2012 - 2012 IEEE Online Conference on Green Communications (GreenCom)

GreenCom addresses the growing need to provide a common forum for academic and industrial researchers covering various aspects of green communications. The online style of the conference makes it easy to participate affordably for everyone. Still, GreenCom is a full-fledged IEEE ComSoc conference adhering to the high standards of IEEE ComSoc’s flagship conferences. All presented papers will be published through IEEE Xplore and presentations will be made available at IEEE ComSoc Webcasts. Streaming of conference sessions will be scheduled at different day times in order to adequately serve all continents.
GreenCom covers a wide range of green communications including energy efficiency of communications as well as communications technologies for other green solutions such as smart grids, green buildings, and green logistics. The conference solicits original, unpublished research papers on the subsequently listed topics of interest. All articles will be peer-reviewed by at least three independent reviewers. Both academic and industry contributions that report substantial results in green communications with a significant potential for energy savings are welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Green Wireless and Fixed Line Communications
