Please find enclosed the Call for Papers for a Special Issue of
Elsevier Optical Switching and Networking journal, entitled "Green
Communications and Networking". This should be of interest to many
TCCC members, and I hope you will all consider sending your relevant
work to it.
Apologies for multiple copies due to cross-posts. Thanks.

Call for Papers
Elsevier Journal of Optical Switching and Networking (OSN)
Special Issue on Green Communications and Networking
Responsible use of energy has become a crucial issue in large networks
and information systems in general in the last few years. Energy
efficiency is now a critical item in the list of performance metrics
of networking equipment and networked systems. Understanding and
economizing energy use has emerged as a high-impact research area in
networking system of all kinds. Recent studies suggest that the core
network expends the largest fraction of the energy consumed by a large
network system, and network energy expenditure can be a significant
part of planetary computing and communication, contrary to earlier
belief that the bulk of energy expenditure is at end-systems or at
most the edge network. The role of interaction between end-systems
and the network has also been recognized in achieving better energy
economy.
The OSN special issue on Green Communications and Networking will
archive timely research in this area particularly relevant to optical
networking design and technologies. The SI may also publish tutorial
material suitable for introducing active researchers to different
aspects of this new research area. Tutorials articles will be
expected to address a broad range of issues in order to be considered
suitable. Topics of interest for original research contributions
include, but are not limited to:
- Metrics of energy-efficiency in optical networks and equipment
- Measurements of energy expenditures, data and methodology
- Energy efficient devices and designs
- Hardware, architectural, and protocol support issues for energy
economy
- Network design (topology, grooming, placement, wavelength
assignment, traffic engg., etc.) in support of energy economy
- Energy issues in PONs
- Energy efficient interaction of network with smartgrids of clouds
- Energy-optimal split between optical and electronic layers (e.g., IP-
Ethernet-WDM)
- Energy Efficient Optical Ethernet
- Optical Switching in Routers and Switches for Reducing Power
Consumption
- Hierarchical techniques of energy efficiency
- Energy awareness in network equipment and operations
- Business models of energy-efficient optical networks
- Cooperation between network and endpoints for improving energy
efficiency
- Optical Networking for Green Datacenters
All submissions must be original work not previously published or
currently under review by any other journal. Partial overlap with
previously published conference or workshop papers is acceptable, but
must be disclosed at the time of submission. Submission, review, and
decision process will use the usual Elsevier OSN portal, accessible
through http://ees.elsevier.com/osn/admin/default.asp . During
submission, please make sure to select 'SI: Green Communications' when
you reach the "Article Type" step. More details about the journal in
general, and author guidelines, can be found from http://ees.elsevier.com/osn/
.
Important dates :
Original submission deadline: June 1, 2010
Review decision to authors: September 1, 2010
Final camera-ready deadline: October 15, 2010
SI publication: Early (1Q or 2Q) 2011
Guest Editors:
Rudra Dutta (North Carolina State University, USA)
