Scope and Motivation
There is a growing emphasis on environmental impact and concerns in 
communications and computing, with attention being paid to ecological and, even 
more so, economic drivers. The predicted explosive growth in the number of 
connected devices and Internet bandwidth necessitates "green solutions" such as 
smart grids, green logistics, smart buildings, and green telecommunications 
hardware. This track seeks to capture the current trends and cutting edge 
research in the sustainability and green-ness of system and network performance 
that incorporates "green" constraints in communications, computing, and 
electricity networks and relevant terminals.
By promoting innovation in this critical area, substantial advances can be 
achieved by developing new architectures, protocols, systems, and algorithms, 
which, in turn, will allow significant reductions in energy consumption. This 
will also require considering both system components and the relevant 
management. This track considers not only green communications, computing, and 
electricity systems but also using communications and computing to support 
environmental sustainability. Although energy efficiency is one of the main 
concerns, this track also considers other non-energy green issues, such 
improving resource efficiency, electromagnetic pollution mitigation and 
pollution reduction approaches.

Prospective authors are invited to submit their original work addressing new 
and emerging issues in communications and computing on the above themes. All 
submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of Five 
(5) printed pages (10- point font) including figures without incurring 
additional page charges (maximum 1 additional page with over length page charge 
if accepted).
