IEEE ICC-2010 Workshop on
Energy Efficiency in Wireless Networks & Wireless Networks for
Energy Efficiency
http://www.e2nets.tudelft.nl
to be held in conjunction with the
IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC 2010)
23-27 May 2010 Cape Town, South Africa
at Cape Town's International Conference Centre (CTICC).
The two seemingly distinct topics of E2NETS are very important for overall
energy efficiency in the future. Instead of looking at them separately, it
is useful to arrange a venue for the researchers and practitioners in these
two
fields to come together and interact. This workshop aims to build this
cooperation. Energy Efficiency in Wireless Networks: According to the GESI
study, the ICT sector contributes around two per cent of global greenhouse
gas (CHG) emissions. To increase the competitiveness, energy efficiency (E2)
must also be a design criterion of the network and service architectures.
Flexible networks that adapt their capacity to the requirements can lead to
significant energy savings. Novel networking paradigms need to be introduced
to assure
that all components are used with maximum utilization. Green network
architectures will be the cross-layer, cognitive and cooperative aggregation
of techniques
and mechanisms to provide a communication infrastructure where the energy
consumption is minimized while guaranteeing the quality/grade of service
required by the applications. Along with energy efficiency, spectrum
utilization is to be optimized and radiation is to be minimized. Green
networking is not only the evolution of legacy networking paradigms but also
the revolution of the visionary hybrid networks which is the convergence of
the heterogeneous wired, wireless and ad hoc networks. In this workshop, the
following topics of energy efficiency in wireless networks are considered:
* Physical layer techniques, channel/network coding for energy efficiency.
* Methodologies /architectures for energy efficiency.
* Energy-efficiency measures.
* Energy-efficient flooding/multicast for service discovery.
* Collaborative/cooperative/cognitive networking protocols for energy
efficiency.
* Algorithms for scheduling and resource management.
* Energy harvesting.
* Cooperative green communications for energy efficiency.
* User mobility modeling to predict and adapt to patterns.
* Hybrid fibre-wireless networks for energy-efficient delivery of wireless
signals.
Wireless Networks for Energy Efficiency: To address the other 98 per cent of
the global CHG emissions, wireless networks can be used to reduce the energy
consumption of industrial/home/office environments/applications. For
example, along with the research in low-carbon road transportation
technologies,
wireless networks can be employed to analyze the traffic jams and help
navigators to find a suitable route leading to energy savings. To this
extent, in this workshop the topics of wireless networks for energy
efficiency
consist of:
* ICT for minimization of the energy consumption of other systems such as
transportation, houses, offices and industrial buildings.
* Energy efficient cloud computing, smart grids and emerging applications.
* Sensor networks for energy efficiency in industrial/harsh environments.
* Vehicular networks to reduce the CHG emissions.
* New designs of equipments/architectures for energy efficiency.
* Energy efficient virtualization of resources.
Accepted workshop papers will be available on the IEEE eXplore database and
included in the CD proceedings of the IEEE ICC 2010.
Paper submission via EDAS, 5 pages IEEE format.

What is different?
The format of the workshop consists of four sessions three of which will be
dedicated to presentation sessions and posters. The remaining session will
be slightly different from the usual chores such as panel or keynote. Here
we
have identified clearly two important groups, E2 in Wireless Networks and
Wireless Networks for E2, which are interconnected and interrelated. Both
have been
currently looked into ýntensively, not only by researchers, but also by the
industry. The recent trend is that the governments of various countries have
started seriously encouraging ICT community participation in reducing the
energy consumption, as well as energy wastage. Surely this has to be taken
into account by the ICT community.
The pool of participants, including authors of papers, will be divided into
the two groups, the E2 in Wireless Networks and Wireless Networks for E2.
These
two groups headed by senior academician/industrialist will hold separate
discussions for 45 min. The mandate is to come up with a list of research
ideas, as well as implementation strategies for the topics of their group.
Then they will present their ideas and discuss for the next 45 minutes with
all
of the participants.
This strategy should help in identifying issues quickly in a larger
perspective. It is expected to help academics, industry and policy makers to
quickly
crystallize thoughts and work towards the important challenges and optimize
their resources for this important challenge for future generations to come.
It is also expected that after the discussions the two groups bring forth a
list of ideas for future project proposals. We will encourage the
participants to
team up and work together for their future proposals. The by-product of this
exercise is that convergence of these two seemingly separate trends will
start cooperation with each other.
