CALL FOR PAPERS: THE Fifth INTERNATIONAL GREEN COMPUTING CONFERENCE (IGCC’14)

www.green-conf.org

November 3-5, 2014, Dallas, Texas, USA

 

IGCC’14 will provide a forum for presenting and discussing innovative research on a broad range of topics in the fields of sustainable and energy-efficient computing, and computing for amore sustainable planet. The conference will hold a technical program, panels, workshops, and tutorials on these topics. IGCC’14 will be technically co-sponsored by the IEEE. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 

Sustainable Computing   - Power-aware algorithms and protocols - Power-aware software and hardware - Low-power electronics and systems - Power-efficient multi/many-core chip design - Application-specific ASICs and FPGAs - Sensing and monitoring - Characterization, metrics, and modeling - Reliability, thermal behavior and control - Power-efficient delivery and cooling - Life-cycle analysis of IT equipment

Computing for Sustainability   - Renewable energy models and prediction - Matching energy supply and demand - Smart grid and microgrids - Smart transportation and manufacturing - Smart buildings and urban development - Energy harvesting, storage, and recycling - Climate and ecosystem monitoring - Using IT to reduce carbon emissions - Carbon metering and user feedback
