ICT-GLOW 2012 - 2nd International Conference on ICT as Key Technology for the Fight against Global Warming

The Second International Conference on ICT as a Key Technology against Global Warming (ICT-
GLOW’12) aims at providing an interdisciplinary scientific forum for in-depth discussions on the
reduction of the carbon footprint in the different sectors including ICT systems itself.

Emphasis within the ICT-sector is laid on holistic and far-reaching approaches for green and eco-
friendly solutions.

The conference aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from multiple disciplines
ranging from green maturity models in organizations to system level design and optimization.
