Global climate change is a topic of increasing importance in modern
society. The primary objective of this workshop is to explore how
improvements to or new uses of Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) can reduce the environmental impact of ICT and
non-ICT processes. The workshop will provide a forum for discussions
on methods to reduce the environmental impact of ICT systems, networks
and applications. The workshop will also provide an opportunity to
explore how ICT applications or services can reduce the environmental
impact of existing non-ICT processes (e.g., quantify the reduction in
carbon emissions from using tele-presence services instead of travel).
This workshop is intended to bring together researchers from the
(traditional) SIGMETRICS community with researchers and practitioners
in relevant areas, to exchange technical ideas and experiences on how
to lessen the environmental impact of ICT. Improvements should be
quantified in terms of sustainability metrics such as reductions in
carbon emissions and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Improvements in
sustainability should ideally also demonstrate that acceptable Service
Level Agreements (SLAs) can be maintained. This workshop will serve
as a forum for the SIGMETRICS community to apply general measurement,
analysis and modeling techniques to this important area.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Measurement and evaluation of the sustainability of existing ICT systems
* Definition and demonstration of useful sustainability metrics
* Methods that systematically improve the efficiency of existing ICT
systems
* Tools that facilitate the design of more sustainable ICT systems
* Development of models that pertain to the sustainability of ICT systems
* Case studies of efforts to improve the sustainability of production
ICT systems
* Use of ICT systems to improve the sustainability of existing non-ICT
processes
* Software engineering for systematically improving the sustainability of
ICT systems
In all of the above topics, "ICT systems" includes applications
and services supported by ICT infrastructure. We believe that it is
important to provide a medium for researchers and organizations to
share insights and lessons learned as steps are taken towards
improving sustainability, and strongly encourage submissions
presenting research involving large-scale ICT systems such as entire
data centers or enterprise-scale applications.
An award will be presented for the best student paper.
Important Dates
- Monday May 3, 2010: Paper Submission (hard deadline)
- Monday May 17, 2010: Author Notification
- Monday May 31, 2010: Final Versions Due
- Monday June 14, 2010: Workshop
Submission Guidelines:
Papers must not exceed five double-column pages in the standard ACM
format (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates).
Submissions must be submitted electronically in printable PDF form,
via the EDAS system (http://www.edas.info/). The EDAS system requires
you to register the title and abstract of your paper before you can
upload the manuscript of the paper. The deadline for the final version
of submissions is May 3, 2010, 23:59 EST. Submissions will be reviewed
by the GreenMetrics program committee, from which a number of papers
will be selected for presentation at the workshop. The accepted papers
will be published in the March 2011 issue of ACM SIGMETRICS
Performance Evaluation Review (PER). Authors of accepted papers grant
permission to ACM to publish the paper in PER and the ACM digital
library. Authors do retain the copyright of their paper.
