Scope and Motivation
There is a growing emphasis on energy efficiency in communications and computing, with attention being paid to ecological and, even more so, economic drivers. The predicted explosive growth in the number of connected devices and the Internet bandwidth necessitates ??green solutions?? such as smart grids, green logistics, smart buildings, and green telecommunications hardware. This track seeks to capture the current trends and cutting edge research in system and network performance that incorporates green constraints in networks and clouds. By promoting innovation in this critical area, substantial advances can be achieved in new architectures, protocols, systems, and algorithms, which, in turn, will allow significant reductions in energy consumption.
Prospective authors are invited to submit their original work addressing new and emerging issues in communications and networking on the above themes. Submissions are welcome from academia, industry, and government organizations. Submissions are welcome from academia, industry, and government organizations. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
