Panel Title: Collaborative Programs in Green Communications: Successful Cases and Key Remaining Research Challenges
Time: 11:00AM – 12:30PM, Wednesday, 12 June 2013 Location: IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC) 2013, Budapest, Hungary URL: http://www.ieee-icc.org/programindpanels.html#P9 Technical Support: - TSCGCC (IEEE Technical Subcommittee on Green Communications and Computing) - GreenTouch - TREND (Towards Real Energy-efficient Network Design) - Mobile VCE (Virtual Centre of Excellence in Mobile and Personal Communications Ltd) - ECONET (low Energy COnsumption NETworks) Panel Moderator: Rodney (Rod) S. Tucker, University of Melbourne, Australia Bio: Rod Tucker is a Laureate Professor at the University of Melbourne and Director of the University of Melbourne’s Centre for Energy-Efficient Telecommunications (CEET). He is also Director of the Institute for a Broadband-Enabled Society. Rod leads a group of academics and students undertaking research on broadband access technologies and energy-efficient in telecommunications. As research activities in the area of energy-efficient communications have expanded around the world, a number of groups in universities and industry have joined together in collaborative research programs. Examples include the GreenTouch Consortium, a global pre-competitive research consortium dedicated to improving network energy efficiency; TREND, a Network of Excellence on energy-efficient networking; ECONET, an EU-funded green communications program, and MVCE, a collaboration of networking researchers across a variety of institutions. The purpose of this Panel Session will be to provide a snapshot of research activities in these four collaborative programs and to provide an overview of the global status of green telecommunications research. The panel will review some of the successful cases that have been achieved to date and highlight some key remaining research challenges. Panelists: - Speaker: Franco Davoli (ECONET), University of Genoa, Italy Bio: Franco Davoli is Full Professor of Telecommunication Networks at the University of Genoa, Italy, where he is with Department of Electrical, Electronic and Telecommunications Engineering, and Naval Architecture (DITEN); his current research interests are in dynamic resource allocation and control in multiservice networks, wireless mobile and satellite networks, multimedia communications and services, and energy-efficient networking. - Speaker: Thierry Klein (GreenTouch), Bell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent, USA Bio: Thierry Klein is currently the Head of Green Research at Bell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent leading a large team of researchers, engineers and scientists across multiple departments, research domains conducting research towards the design, development and use of sustainable future communications and data networks. He also serves as the Chairman of the Technical Committee of GreenTouch, a global consortium dedicated to improve energy efficiency in networks by a factor 1000x compared to 2010 levels. Thierry founded a start-up company focused on wireless communications for emergency response situations within Alcatel-Lucent Ventures. In 2010, he was voted "Technologist of the Year" at the Total Telecom World Vendor Awards. - Speaker: John Thompson (MVCE), University of Edinburgh, UK Bio: John Thompson holds a personal chair in Signal Processing and Communications at the School of Engineering in the University of Edinburgh. His research interests include signal processing, energy efficient communications systems, and multihop wireless communications. He was deputy academic coordinator for the recent Mobile Virtual Centre of Excellence Green Radio project, which involved collaboration between five UK universities and a dozen international companies. He is member-at-large for the Board of Governors of the IEEE Communications Society. He was technical programme co-chair for the IEEE Globecom Conference in Miami in 2010 and is serving in the same role for the IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference Spring in Dresden in 2013. - Speaker: Marco Ajmone Marsan (TREND), Politecnico di Torino, Italy Bio: Marco Ajmone Marsan is Full Professor at the Politecnico di Torino, and a part time Chief Researcher at the Institute IMDEA Networks in Spain. He founded the Telecommunication Networks Group at the Politecnico di Torino. Marco Ajmone Marsan is the general chair of INFOCOM 2013. He has received a "Honoris Causa" Doctoral Degree in Telecommunication Networks from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics in March 2002. Marco Ajmone Marsan has been the Vice-Rector for Research, Innovation and Technology Transfer at the Politecnico di Torino from 2005 to 2009. From September 2002 to March 2009 he was the Director of the Institute for Electronics, Information and Telecommunications Engineering of the National Research Council. His main present research interest is in energy-efficient networking, and in the applications of ICT for energy efficiency. _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
