Call for Papers
-------------------
It is now held as a scientific fact that humans contribute to the global
warming of planet Earth through the release of carbon dioxide (CO2), a
Green House Gas (GHG), in the atmosphere. It is estimated that 2-3% of the
CO2 produced by human activity comes from ICT and a number of studies
estimate the energy consumption related to ICT varying from 2% to 10% of
the worldwide power consumption.

The reduction and optimization of energy consumption are among the main
goals of the governments. The European Union in fact is encouraging the ICT
sector to reduce its carbon footprint in a drive to drastically reduce
Europe's overall carbon emissions by 2020 setting its ambitious 20/20/20
goals: cut its annual consumption of primary energy by 20%, increase the
production of renewable energy to a share of 20% by 2020 and make
efficiency savings of 20% over forecast consumption. Recent initiatives
gathering major IT companies started to explore the energy savings and
green energy use in network infrastructure. But the Internet traffic is
growing constantly over the years (independent of the momentary economic
conditions) impacting directly the network energy consumption which is in
fact growing at the same degree. It is clear that increased energy
consumption of the Internet will increase operational costs in the network
and will exacerbate the thermal issues associated with large data centers
and switching nodes. It is safe to say that a paradigm shift is required in
the network in order to sustain the growing traffic rates while limiting
and even decreasing the power consumption. To become a reality, green
Internet must rely on a major cooperation between application, system,
network, link and physical levels.

This Workshop aims at providing a comprehensive view of research challenges
and opportunities in the coming green era and will include both invited
talks and contributed papers. Topics include but not limited to the
following:

. Energy-efficiency in wireless and wired access networks
. Energy-aware routing algorithms
. Energy-aware control plane protocols
. Energy-aware radio resource management techniques
. Energy-aware spectrum management
. Novel network concepts and architectures lowering energy consumption
. Energy-aware design for network equipments
. Green communication in data centers and cloud computing
. Energy estimation and energy efficiency characterization models for
networks and equipments
. Techno-economic studies supporting green networking
. Energy efficient solutions for home-networking
