Announcement and Call For Papers **** 24th Tyrrhenian International Workshop on Digital Communications (TIWDC 2013) on "Green ICT" **** **** Sept. 23-25, 2013, Genoa, Italy **** **** http://www.tyrrhenian.cnit.it/ **** The energy consumption issue has become of paramount importance to allow a more efficient and sustainable use of resources and to avoid global warming. Though the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector is not one of the main contributors to energy consumption, still it accounts for over 2% of the carbon footprint. On the other hand, it is estimated that the use of ICT could enable the abatement of almost 8% of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. As the role of ICT is becoming of paramount importance in addressing better energy efficiency in the energy production and distribution sector, as well as in fostering energy-awareness in transportation, manufacturing and services, it would be odd that ICT would not apply the same concepts to itself. This double role of energy-aware, "green ICT" is the main theme of TIDWC 2013. We are looking for contributions pertaining to the application of ICT for energy-awareness in other sectors, like Smart Grids, Smart Cities, smart vehicles and transportation technologies, as well as to green computing and green networking, where the emphasis is ultimately on making ICT itself more energy-efficient. The Workshop aims at providing a forum for discussion of timely and relevant aspects concerning the areas mentioned above. Contributions are solicited on all advanced research issues in these respects, and particularly (but not limited to) on the following topics: - Green clouds and data centres - Green data-intensive applications - Green networking for wired and wireless networks - Energy consumption / performance trade-offs - Computing and networking techniques for energy-efficient ICT - Control and optimization techniques applied to green computing and networking - Role of ICT for Smart Grids - Energy-aware aspects and applications in Smart Cities - ICT applications for electric vehicles - ICT for sustainable transportation systems - Interaction between green power sources, data centres and networks - Energy-aware performance models and metrics - Energy pricing and incentives IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission: Feb. 25, 2013 Special session proposals: Feb. 25, 2013 Acceptance notification: April 22, 2013 Final paper submission: May 20, 2013 GENERAL CO-CHAIRS Franco Davoli, University of Genoa, Italy ([email protected]) Phuoc Tran-Gia, University of WŸrzburg, Germany ([email protected]) PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS Raffaele Bolla, University of Genoa, Italy ([email protected]) Trinh Anh Tuan, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary ([email protected]) VICE PROGRAM CHAIR Roberto Bruschi, CNIT - University of Genoa Research Unit, Italy ([email protected]) TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE (still in progress) Piotr Arabas, NASK, Warsaw, Poland Claude Chaudet, Telecom ParisTech, France Ken Christensen, University of South Florida, FL, USA Antonio Cianfrani, University of Rome La Sapienza, Italy Leonardo Fialho, University of Texas at Austin, USA Stefano Giordano, University of Pisa, Italy Helmut Hlavacs, University of Vienna, Austria Joanna Kolodziej, University of Bielsko Bia?a, Poland Paul KŸhn, University of Stuttgart, Germany David Larrabeiti, Lopez Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain Laurent Lefevre, INRIA, Lyon, France Marco Listanti, University of Rome La Sapienza, Italy Marco Mellia, Turin Technical University, Italy Michela Meo, Turin Technical University, Italy Ewa Niewiadomska-Szynkiewicz, Warsaw Technical University, Poland Anne-Cecile Orgerie, INRIA Myriads/IRISA, Rennes, France Sergio Palazzo, University of Catania, Italy Gian Paolo Rossi, University of Milan, Italy Mario Pickavet, Ghent University, Belgium Adrian Popescu, Blekinge Institute of Technology, Karlskrona, Sweden Pedro Reviriego Vassallo, Universidad Antonio de Nebrija, Spain Suresh Singh, Portland State University, OR, USA Constantinos Vassilakis, GRNET, Greece Anastasios Zafeiropoulos, GRNET, Greece Thomas Zinner, University of WŸrzburg, Germany _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
