CALL FOR PAPERS
[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 fields including green mobile networks, system architectures,
networking & communication protocols, applications, test-bed and prototype,
traffic balance and energy-efficient cooperation transmission, system and
application issues related to GreeNets.
[Topics]
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 o
f 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
[Publications]
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.
