Sustainable and efficient utilization of available energy resources is
perhaps the fundamental challenge of the current century. Academic and
industrial communities have invested significant efforts in developing new
solutions to address the energy efficiency challenges in several areas from
IT and telecommunications, to green buildings and cities, and smart grid.
Large scale and complex computing control and communication systems play a
key role in almost all of these areas. Modeling and simulation
methodologies for such complex and large-scale systems are necessary for
comprehensive performance evaluation that precedes costly prototyping
activities. This special issue aims to disseminate the latest advances in
modeling and simulation of smart and green computing systems, which are
critical from the viewpoints of sustainable economic growth and
environmental conservation. This special issue focuses on methodologies,
simulation tools and techniques for evaluating computing, control and
communication systems for achieving energy efficiency leading to long-term
sustainability. Appropriate topics of interest include but are not limited
to:

?         Modeling and simulations of energy efficient computing systems

?         Modeling and simulations of green communications systems

?         Modeling and simulations of smart grid applications

?         Simulation of intelligent transportation systems

?         Building and energy management simulations

?         Modeling and simulations of nature inspired computing and
communication systems

?         Innovative modeling and simulation methodologies, and tools

?         Prototypes and testbeds of energy efficient computing and
communication systems

Articles should be understandable to a broad audience of science and
engineering professionals. The writing should be practical and original,
avoiding too much focus on theory, mathematics, jargon, and abstract
concepts. Accepted papers will be professionally edited for content and
style. All manuscripts are subject to peer-review on both technical merit
and relevance to *Computer*'s readership. Paper submissions are handled
electronically. For author guidelines and information on how to submit a
manuscript, please visit: http://www.computer
