Call For Papers: GreenMetrics 2013 Workshop
Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA
In conjunction with ACM SIGMETRICS 2013
Sponsored by ACM SIGMETRICS
http://www.sigmetrics.org/greenmetrics/
------------------
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.
