============================================

   Journal Special Issue Information

============================================

Distinguished selected papers accepted and presented in GreenNets 2011 after
further extensions, will be published in special issues of

the following prestigious Journals:

---  ACM/Springer Mobile Networks and Applications

---  ICST Transactions on Energy Web









====================

   Introduction

====================

Global warming and climate change have been a growing worldwide concern. Six
sources, i.e., transportation, power, buildings, industry,

agriculture and forestry, and land use, have been identified as major
contributors to the rise of global carbon dioxide (CO2). The mobile

industry is seen as a potential enabler to reduce greenhouse gases
contributed by these six sources provided that appropriate measures are

implemented. On the other hand, the mobile industry itself will also
contribute to CO2 emission through network operations, mobile equipments,
etc.

To meet the requirement of low-carbon economy development, it is necessary
to reduce the operation expenditure or energy consumption of mobile
networks,

while maintaining acceptable quality of service. This conference will
explore and explain the scope and challenges of designing, building, and
deploying GreenNets.

In this regard, the conference aims to establish a forum to bring together
research professionals from diverse fields including green mobile networks,
system architectures,

networking & communication protocols, applications, test-bed and prototype,
traffic balance and energy-efficient cooperation transmission, system and
application issues related to GreenNets.
