GreenCom 2011 - GreenCom 2011 : The 2011 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Green Computing and Communications

The 2011 IEEE/ACM International Conference on

Green Computing and Communications (GreenCom 2011)

Sponsored by IEEE, IEEE CS, IEEE TCSC, ACM and NSFC

Chengdu, Sichuan, China, August 4-5, 2011 (Tentative)

Website: http://GreenCom2011.comp.polyu.edu.hk

The submission system was open on Feb. 20, 2011.



Computers, communication systems and other IT infrastructure have been
posing severe environmental problems by consuming significant amounts of
electricity, increasing greenhouse gas emissions, and causing pollution
during their production and disposal. To reduce these environmental
problems and create a sustainable environment, new models, algorithms,
methodologies, tools and systems are needed so we can generate green IT
systems with high energy efficiency, low greenhouse gas omissions, less
harmful materials and easily being reused and recycled. The goal of
GreenCom 2011 is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers, and
researchers to discuss and exchange their new ideas, novel results,
work in progress and experiences on all aspects of green computing and
communications, as well as to identify emerging research topics and
define the future directions.

Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:

A. Systems, Models and Algorithms

A1 Green computing models, methodologies and paradigms

A2 Green design, manufacture, use, disposal, and recycling of computers

computing systems and applications


SUBMISSION OF PAPERS

All papers must be written in English and submitted electronically
through http://GreenCom2011.comp.polyu.edu.hk. Paper submissions should be
10 pages in two-column, single-space, 10pt format that describe original
work not previously published and not concurrently submitted elsewhere.
Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the
paper be accepted, at least one of the authors must attend the conference
to present the work in order that the accepted papers can be put into the
digital library of IEEE CS (indexed by EI Compendex).

Selected bested papers will be recommended for publication in special
issues of several SCI-indexed journals, including Journal of Systems
Architecture: Embedded Software Design (Elsevier).
