COMSNETS 2013 E6 WORKSHOP: CALL FOR PAPERS

Due to rising energy costs and environmental concerns, energy has  
become one of the important concerns for the communities, governments  
and industries. The E6 (Energy in Communication, Information, and  
Cyber-physical Systems, http://www.comsnets.org/e6.html) workshop at  
COMSNETS 2013 focuses on all aspects (energy conservation, energy  
efficiency, alternative energy sources) related to energy consumption  
in communication and computing systems, and, as well as associated  
cyber-physical systems.

Within this scope, the E6 workshop seeks original paper submissions on  
architectures, protocols, applications, services, systems, models,  
theoretical analysis, simulations, real-system experiments,  
measurements, and usage studies in such areas as:

Smart grids, Electricity networks, including electricity generation,  
transmission, distribution, control, consumption, and metering;  
Renewable energy sources
Demand response, demand side management, energy storage management,  
peak load shifting
Electric vehicles, vehicle to grid, distributed energy sources,  
microgrids
Building automation, including homes and commercial buildings,  
lighting, heating, air conditioning, and other appliance control
Communication networks, including machine-to-machine communications,  
network virtualization, routing, transmission control, channel access,  
wireless and optical communication media
End systems, including mobile phones, radio-frequency identification  
devices, robots, and other sensors and actuators
Data centers, including cloud computing
Transportation networks, including vehicles, infrastructure,  
operation, congestion, navigation, and safety
Economic and social factors, including financial rewards, social  
pressure, curiosity and other natural incentives

The E6 workshop solicits paper submissions of up to 6 pages in length,  
including all figures, tables, and references. All papers must be  
electronically submitted via the E6 submission site http://comsnets13.cs.umass.edu/e6/ 
  in PDF. The proceedings will be published by IEEE Xplore and will  
include the final papers of up to 6 pages in length. All E6 technical  
papers must be associated with an author registration at the full  
rate. For authors presenting multiple papers, one full registration is  
valid for up to three papers. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a  
paper from distribution after the workshop (e.g., removal from IEEE  
Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the workshop.

Each paper acceptance is subject to the conditions that the paper does  
not contain any plagiarized material and that the authors do not  
submit the paper material in parallel to another publication venue.  
Violations of these conditions will most likely result in rejections  
of the violating submissions or even already accepted papers.
