Preliminary Call for Papers
--------------------------------------
3rd International Conference on ICT as Key Technology against Global 
Warming - ICT-GLOW 2013
Energy Efficient ICT and Energy Efficiency through ICT
Prague, Czech Republic
August 26 - 30, 2013
-----------------------------------------------------  

In 2011, a new record was set with the emission of 31.6 billion metric 
tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. This is a further increase of 
3.6% over the previous record in 2010. Preventing a further temperature 
rise is the biggest challenge of our time. The ICT sector is a relevant 
contributor to green house gas emissions and global warming due to its 
tremendous presence in our everyday life but also a key technology for 
the fight against global warming in all other sectors. ICT-Glow 2013 
addresses the following issues:

* Energy efficient ICT (hardware, software, processes, platforms, etc.)
* Energy efficiency through ICT for other sectors (transportation, 
buildings, production, etc.)
* Energy aware and energy efficient agents (humans, organizations, etc.)
* Adaptation to climate change and resilience
* Environmental informatics

The Third International Conference on ICT as a Key Technology against 
Global Warming (ICT-?GLOW13) aims at providing an interdisciplinary 
scientific forum for in-depth discussions on the reduction of the carbon 
footprint in the different sectors including ICT systems itself. 
Emphasis within the ICT-sector is laid on holistic and far-reaching 
approaches for green and eco-?friendly solutions. The conference aims to 
bring together researchers and practitioners from multiple disciplines 
ranging from green maturity models in organizations to system level 
design and optimization.
