Call for Papers

Recent years have witnessed tremendous efforts and progress made by both the industry and academia for improving energy and power efficiencies in current and emerging communication networks and computing infrastructures, among which cognitive and cooperative paradigms are proposed as key technologies and approaches to increase both spectrum and energy efficiencies. For example, with cognitive and cooperative communication, the use of larger spectrum band and the opportunistic adaptation of the spectrum use lead to more effective interference management, better spatial and temporal reuse, thus reducing the power consumption. Despite the ever growing interests, the research on the use of cognitive and cooperative approaches to achieve sustainable and green networking and computing is still in its infancy, especially given the complexity and application constraints of the emerging communication and computing infrastructures. Some fundamental problems are still open.

The purpose of this workshop is to present high quality unpublished research papers on recent advances on the energy efficient and sustainable design of communications and computing systems. We seek original contributions that have not been published or currently under review for publications in any other journal or conference. A number of specific topics of this workshop can be expected, including but not limited to the following:

• Architecture design and system implementation for energy efficient and sustainable networks and computing systems

• Green cognitive software, programming languages, and applications

• Green and sustainable computing hardware and architecture

• Green and sustainable storage designs and cloud computing

• Green wireless and energy harvesting in wireless systems

• Energy‐efficient spectrum sensing techniques

• Economic models and game theory for energy efficient and sustainable networks and computing systems

• Energy‐efficient and sustainable physical (PHY) layer design

• Energy‐efficient and sustainable medium access control (MAC)

• Cooperative and cognitive communication systems

• Cross‐layer optimization for energy efficient and sustainable networks

• Cooperative techniques for energy‐efficient and sustainable networks

• Energy‐efficient and sustainable resource management

• Signal processing challenges for energy‐efficient and sustainable networks

• Energy‐efficiency evaluation and measuring techniques

• Energy‐efficient multimedia communication and computing

All accepted papers will be EI indexed.
