In conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on

Communications (IEEE ICC 2009), Dresden, Germany, 14-18 June 2009

Objectives:

The steadily rising energy cost and the need to reduce the global

CO2 emission to protect our environment are today's economical and

ecological drivers for the emerging consideration of energy

consumption in all fields of communications. Triggered by network

operators experiencing energy cost as a significant new factor of

their calculation, researchers have started to investigate approaches

for reducing power consumption and manufacturers have started

offering energy-efficient network components. Also standards bodies,

such as the IEEE, are already processing standards for energy-

efficient protocols. However, research and development in these areas

is still at an early stage and the space of potential solutions is

far from being explored.

The First International Workshop on Green Communications (GreenComm

'09) will bring together academic and industrial researchers for

discussing energy-efficient communications. It will close the gap

between the already established conferences and workshops covering

energy-efficiency for IT on one side and for wireless sensor networks

on the other side.

Topics of Interest:

We solicit contributions that report recent results, share

experiences, or address research challenges in energy-efficient

network protocols and devices and in energy management. Particularly,

we want to identify and address issues with a very high potential for

significant energy saving including access network infrastructure,

home networks, and terminals.

Areas of interest include but are not limited to

* Energy-efficient protocols and protocol extensions

* Energy-efficient transmission technologies

* Cross-layer optimizations

* Energy-efficient network device technology

* Energy-efficient switch and base station architectures

* Zero-power sleep mode

* Exploitation of passive network elements

* Energy management in communication networks

* Architectures and frameworks

* Hierarchical and distributed techniques

* Remote power management for terminals

* Harvesting distributed energy generation

* Measurement and profiling of energy consumption

* Instrumentation for energy consumption measurement

* Operator experiences

* Energy-efficiency in specific networks

* Mobile and wireless access networks

* Broadband access networks

* Appliances management in home and office networks

Paper Submission Guidelines:

We invite you to submit your papers to GreenComm'09. Submitted papers

must represent original material that is not currently under review

elsewhere, and has not been previously published. All papers will be

properly peer-reviewed by members of the technical program committee

and other experts active in the field to ensure high quality and

relevance to the workshop.

Paper length must be no more than 5 pages, double column, including

tables, figures, and references. Your submission must not use fonts

smaller than 10 points. Please use the Transactions stylesheet

template (http://www.ieee.org/portal/pages/pubs/transactions/

stylesheets.html) provided by IEEE to assure that your submission is

in line with our guidelines. Papers must be submitted in PDF format

through the EDAS conference system by selecting "ICC'09" at the EDAS

paper submission website (http://www.edas.info/) and then selecting

the workshop submission link for "GreenComm09". Accepted papers will

appear in the ICC workshop proceedings and will be included in IEEE

explore. At least one of the authors of accepted papers must attend

the workshop to present its paper. Papers are to be submitted no

later than 01 November 2008.

For any question or problem related to GreenComm'09 paper submission,

please contact quitteknw.neclab.eu with e-mail Subject: GreenComm'09
