SCOPE AND OVERVIEW
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today, energy efficiency is widely regarded as one of the biggest 
technological and societal challenges for developing a more sustainable 
world. The Internet - and more generally information and communication 
technologies (ICT) - can play an essential role to achieve a more 
sustainable energy use and to reduce our carbon footprint. On the one 
hand, Internet is a significant energy consumer, and it is necessary to 
redesign current Internet technologies, as well as network 
architectures, devices and components, services and protocols to improve 
energy efficiency. On the other hand, ICT is a key enabling technology 
to foster a more intelligent use of energy in areas such as buildings, 
transport and electric grids.

Both aspects of the problem raise interesting scientific challenges, and 
require a comprehensive effort and inter-disciplinary research at all 
levels of abstraction. The goal of this conference is to bring together 
people from different research areas, and provide a forum to exchange 
ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, 
professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia.

Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of 
energy-awareness for Internet-based systems, and the design of ICT 
solutions for eco-sustainability are solicited.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Green Internet
- Power-aware Internet applications
- Energy-efficient network architecture and protocols
- Green wireless networking
- Energy-efficient network technologies
- Cross-layer optimization for green networking
- Standards and metrics for green communications
- Energy-efficient management of network resources
- Energy efficiency in data centres
- Energy efficiency, Quality of Service, and reliability
- Algorithms for reduced power, energy and heat
- Data processing in smart energy systems
- ICT for energy efficiency in smart homes and buildings
- ICT for sustainable smart cities
- ICT for sustainable transports and logistics
- ICT for green mobility
- ICT for energy efficiency in industrial environments
- ICT for smart grids
- Security and privacy in ICT for energy systems
- Sustainability achievements due to ICT-based optimization
- Energy consumption measurements, models, and monitoring tools
- Measurement and evaluation of the Internet sustainability
- Test-bed and prototype implementations
