October 25-27,2010
Athens, Greece
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
