    Call For Papers: GreenMetrics 2013 Workshop
    Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA  

    In conjunction with ACM SIGMETRICS 2013
    Sponsored by ACM SIGMETRICS

------------------

Sustainability is a topic of increasing importance in modern society. The 
primary objective of this workshop is to explore how improvements to or 
new uses of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can improve the 
environmental, economic and/or social sustainability of ICT systems, 
networks, and applications and of non-ICT processes (e.g., quantify the 
reduction in cost or carbon emissions from using tele-presence services 
instead of travel).

Topics of interest fall broadly into three main areas:
- Designing sustainable ICT: Such work includes research measuring,
   evaluating, or designing energy efficient systems in data centers,
   networking and communication protocols, etc.
- ICT for sustainability: Such work includes research proposing new uses
   of ICT to improve the environmental, economic, and/or social
   sustainability of non-ICT processes.
- Building a smarter, more sustainable electricity grid: Such work
   includes research addressing the challenges (both engineering and
   economic) that come from incorporating increasing penetration of
   renewable energy into the grid, demand-response techniques, and
   smart-metering.

This workshop is intended to bring together researchers from the 
(traditional) SIGMETRICS and Performance communities with researchers and 
practitioners in the three areas above, to exchange technical ideas and 
experiences on issues related to sustainability and ICT. The workshop will 
include a mixture of invited talks and presentations of accepted papers, 
and will serve as a forum for the SIGMETRICS and Performance communities 
to apply their techniques to this emerging and important area.

There will be three keynote speakers:
- Ricardo, Bianchini, Rutgers University
- Marija Ilic, Carnegie Mellon University
- Prashant Shenoy, University of Massachusetts Amherst

An award will be presented for the best student paper.

Important Dates:
- Monday, April 15, 2013: Paper Submission (Hard deadline)
- Tuesday, April 30, 2013: Author Notification
- Monday, June 3, 2013: Final Versions Due
- Monday, June 17, 2013: Workshop
- Monday, July 29, 2013: Final Versions for PER Due

Submission Guidelines:
In order to be inclusive of authors from different communities 
Greenmetrics will have two options for paper submissions this year. 
Authors may either submit full papers or extended abstracts. Full papers 
are allowed to be six double-column pages, while extended abstracts are 
allowed to be up to three double-column pages. Both types of submissions 
should be in the standard ACM format, and both types of submissions will 
be reviewed. The main difference is that while full papers must be either 
new material or a survey article, extended abstracts may summarize recent 
submissions to other venues (either conferences or journals). Thus, we 
hope that authors will submit extended abstracts in order to present 
recent work from other communities to the Sigmetrics community.

Submissions must be submitted electronically in printable PDF form, via 
the GreenMetrics 2013 submission site.

Submissions will be reviewed by the GreenMetrics program committee, from 
which a number of papers will be selected for presentation at the 
workshop. The accepted papers will be published in the December 2013 issue 
of ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review (PER). Authors of accepted 
papers grant permission to ACM to publish the paper in PER and the ACM 
digital library. Authors do retain the copyright of their paper.
