[Apologies for cross-posting] Preliminary Call for Papers -------------------------------------- 3rd International Conference on ICT as Key Technology against Global Warming - ICT-GLOW 2013 “Energy Efficient ICT and Energy Efficiency through ICT” Prague, Czech Republic August 26 - 30, 2013 -----------------------------------------------------
In 2011, a new record was set with the emission of 31.6 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. This is a further increase of 3.6% over the previous record in 2010. Preventing a further temperature rise is the biggest challenge of our time. The ICT sector is a relevant contributor to green house gas emissions and global warming due to its tremendous presence in our everyday life but also a key technology for the fight against global warming in all other sectors. ICT-Glow 2013 addresses the following issues: * Energy efficient ICT (hardware, software, processes, platforms, etc.) * Energy efficiency through ICT for other sectors (transportation, buildings, production, etc.) * Energy aware and energy efficient agents (humans, organizations, etc.) * Adaptation to climate change and resilience * Environmental informatics The Third International Conference on ICT as a Key Technology against Global Warming (ICT-?GLOW’13) aims at providing an interdisciplinary scientific forum for in-depth discussions on the reduction of the carbon footprint in the different sectors including ICT systems itself. Emphasis within the ICT-sector is laid on holistic and far-reaching approaches for green and eco-?friendly solutions. The conference aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from multiple disciplines ranging from green maturity models in organizations to system level design and optimization. ---------------------------------- TOPICS of INTEREST Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Green ICT * Energy aware hardware design and methodologies * Energy aware software design and optimization * Energy aware networking * Energy aware application and services * Energy aware computing platforms including cloud computing and utility computing ICT for smart grids * Grid modeling, simulation, and data management * Standardization and interoperability * Monitoring, control and protection * Communication networks for smart grid * Security and resilience * Consumer security and privacy * Smart metering, measurement, instrumentation, and control * Electric vehicles and smart grids * Virtual power plants, distributed generation, microgrids, renewables and storage * Regulation, pricing, policies, and energy planning * Field trials, deployments ICT for green solutions * Smart homes * Smart buildings * Smart logistics * Smart supply chain * Smart products * Smart production * Smart transportation Environmental informatics * Environmental knowledge engineering and extraction * System analysis and modeling * Environmental quality monitoring and forecasting * Environmental simulation * Environmental model interoperability and integration * Environmental information management * Environmental assessment * E-Learning in support of environmental informatics * Environmental information * Environmental observation * Linked spatial temporal data * Linked open data * Software tools and databases * e-Environment services, GIS and web services Adapting to climate change and resilience * Use of applications for emergency telecommunications * Disaster relief and response * Resilience assessment and vulnerability * Community, social, economical, political and sectoral resilience ICT assisted awareness and energy aware behavior * Policy and incentives to encourage energy aware behavior * Approaches for individual and collective energy awareness * Application of persuasive messages and technologies * Behavioral techniques (feedback, incentives, rewards, etc.) ICT for green business and organization * Sustainability and life-cycle analysis * Business models and opportunities * Energy aware technology selection and evaluation * Green key performance indicators * Green and sustainable maturity models * Best practices and experiences * Organizational awareness and responsibility ICT for green governance and beyond * Auditing * Certificates * Risk management * Compliance to legal regulations Dematerialization * Telework * Teleconference * e-presence ICT in Sustainable development * Agricultural sustainability and food safety * Water resources management * Ecosystem service issues * Integrated modeling approaches * Modeling and software frameworks * Decision support systems issues * Capacity-building in developing and under-developed countries and regions * Modeling sustainability Emerging technologies for energy efficiency and environment * Internet of Things * Sensor Networks * Urban sensing * Persuasive Technologies ----------------------------------------------------------------- GENERAL CHAIRS * A Min Tjoa, Vienna University of Technology, Austria * Dieter Kranzlmüller, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität & Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, Germany PROGRAM COMMITTEE CO-CHAIRS * Amirreza „Nick” Tahamtan, Vienna University of Technology, Austria * Axel Auweter, Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, Germany -------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES * Submission of full papers (firm): March 22, 2013 * Notification of acceptance: May 20, 2013 * Camera-ready copies due: June 10, 2013 PROGRAM COMMITTEE tbd -- WARNING: Computer viruses can be transmitted via email.
