============================================================================ 3rd International Conference on Green Communications and Networking - GREENETS 2014 September 22 - 23, 2014 Bali, Indonesia http://www.greenets.org/ ============================================================================
Scope: Global warming and climate change have been a growing worldwide concern. Six sources, i.e., transportation, power, buildings, industry, agriculture and forestry, and land use, have been identified as major contributors to the rise of global carbon dioxide (CO2). The mobile industry is seen as a potential enabler to reduce greenhouse gases contributed by these six sources provided that appropriate measures are implemented. On the other hand, the mobile industry itself will also contribute to CO2 emission through network operations, mobile equipments, etc. To meet the requirement of low-carbon economy development, it is necessary to reduce the operation expenditure or energy consumption of mobile networks, while maintaining acceptable quality of service. This conference will explore and explain the scope and challenges of designing, building, and deploying GreeNets. In this regard, the conference aims to establish a forum to bring together research professionals from diverse f! ields including green mobile networ ks, system architectures, networking & communication protocols, applications, test-bed and prototype, traffic balance and energy-efficient cooperation transmission, system and application issues related to GreeNets. The conference invites original technical papers that were not previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Topics include, but are not limited to: Communications and Networking: Communication techniques and protocols for GreeNets Energy-efficient transmission technologies based on the cooperation communication Scalable and flexible energy efficiency mobile network architectures, deployments, and applications Energy-efficient network architecture & protocols: Scalability and mobility issues in energy efficiency cross-layer design MAC Protocols and QoS Designing for mobile networks Systems and Technology: Transactions and workflows in green mobile networks Adaptability and stability of green mobile networks Mobile and multimedia supported green mobile networks Experimental and test bed studies for energy efficiency mobile networks, simulation tools Energy-efficient management: Energy-efficient traffic balance, cooperation and management Distributed energy efficiency resource management techniques Protocols for cooperative management and control Paper Submission: Authors are invited to submit papers in the following categories: * Regular papers: Up to 7 pages * Short papers: Up to 4 pages * Poster and demo papers: Up to 1 page Papers must be formatted using the SPRINGER Author's Kit. Detailed instructions and templates are available here: http://greenets.org/2014/show/authors-kit Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline: 27 December 2013 Notification and Registration: 01 March 2014 Camera Ready Paper Submission: 01 April 2014 Conference Date: 22 - 23 September 2014 Publication: Accepted papers will be published in Springer's LNICST series and will appear in the SpringerLink, one of the largest digital libraries online that covers a variety of scientific disciplines, as well as in the ICST's own EU Digital Library (EUDL). LNICST volumes are submitted for inclusion to leading indexing services, including DBLP, Google Scholar, ACM Digital Library, ISI Proceedings, EI Engineering Index, CrossRef, Scopus. Workshop proposals Proposals for workshops are solicited. Potential instructors are requested to submit a workshop proposal of at most 5 pages, including biographical sketch of each organizers, to the Workshop Chairs by December 27, 2013. Evaluation of workshop proposals will be based on the expertise and experience of the organizers and the relevance of the subject matter.
