<p>---------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> GreenCom 2011 Call for Papers<br>---------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> The 2011 IEEE/ACM International Conference on <br>
Green Computing and Communications (GreenCom 2011)</p>
<p> Sponsored by IEEE, IEEE CS, IEEE TCSC, ACM and NSFC<br> Chengdu, Sichuan, China, August 4-5, 2011 (Tentative)</p>
<p> Website: <a href="http://greencom2011.comp.polyu.edu.hk/">http://GreenCom2011.comp.polyu.edu.hk</a><br> The submission system was open on Feb. 20, 2011.</p>
<p>---------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>
<p> Computers, communication systems and other IT infrastructure have been <br>posing severe environmental problems by consuming significant amounts of <br>electricity, increasing greenhouse gas emissions, and causing pollution <br>
during their production and disposal. To reduce these environmental <br>problems and create a sustainable environment, new models, algorithms, <br>methodologies, tools and systems are needed so we can generate green IT <br>
systems with high energy efficiency, low greenhouse gas omissions, less <br>harmful materials and easily being reused and recycled. The goal of <br>GreenCom 2011 is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers, and <br>researchers to discuss and exchange their new ideas, novel results, <br>
work in progress and experiences on all aspects of green computing and <br>communications, as well as to identify emerging research topics and <br>define the future directions. </p>
<p>Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:</p>
<p>A. Systems, Models and Algorithms<br> A1 Green computing models, methodologies and paradigms<br> A2 Green design, manufacture, use, disposal, and recycling of computers <br> and communication systems<br> A3 Green software engineering<br>

<p>---------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>SUBMISSION OF PAPERS</p>
<p> All papers must be written in English and submitted electronically <br>through <a href="http://greencom2011.comp.polyu.edu.hk/">http://GreenCom2011.comp.polyu.edu.hk</a>. Paper submissions should be <br>10 pages in two-column, single-space, 10pt format that describe original <br>
work not previously published and not concurrently submitted elsewhere. <br>Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the <br>paper be accepted, at least one of the authors must attend the conference <br>
to present the work in order that the accepted papers can be put into the <br>digital library of IEEE CS (indexed by EI Compendex). </p>
<p>Selected bested papers will be recommended for publication in special <br>issues of several SCI-indexed journals, including Journal of Systems <br>Architecture: Embedded Software Design (Elsevier).</p>
