The energy consumption issue has become of paramount importance to allow a
more 

efficient and sustainable use of resources and to avoid global warming.
Though the 

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector is not one of the main


contributors to energy consumption, still it accounts for over 2% of the
carbon footprint. On 

the other hand, it is estimated that the use of ICT could enable the
abatement of almost 

8% of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. As the role of ICT is becoming of
paramount 

importance in addressing better energy efficiency in the energy production
and distribution 

sector, as well as in fostering energy-awareness in transportation,
manufacturing and 

services, it would be odd that ICT would not apply the same concepts to
itself. This double 

role of energy-aware, "green ICT" is the main theme of TIDWC 2013. We are
looking for 

contributions pertaining to the application of ICT for energy-awareness in
other sectors, 

like Smart Grids, Smart Cities, smart vehicles and transportation
technologies, as well as 

to green computing and green networking, where the emphasis is ultimately on
making 

ICT itself more energy-efficient.

 

 

 

The Workshop aims at providing a forum for discussion of timely and relevant
aspects 

concerning the areas mentioned above. Contributions are solicited on all
advanced 

research issues in these respects, and particularly (but not limited to) on
the following 

topics:

- Green clouds and data centres

- Green data-intensive applications

- Green networking for wired and wireless networks

- Energy consumption / performance trade-offs

- Computing and networking techniques for energy-efficient ICT

- Control and optimization techniques applied to green computing and
networking

- Role of ICT for Smart Grids

- Energy-aware aspects and applications in Smart Cities

- ICT applications for electric vehicles

- ICT for sustainable transportation systems

- Interaction between green power sources, data centres and networks

- Energy-aware performance models and metrics

- Energy pricing and incentives
