Thanks!<br/><br/><br/>CALL FOR PAPERS<br/><br/>******************************************************<br/>World Congress on Sustainable Technologies (WCST-2012)<br/>Technical Co-Sponsored by IEEE UK/RI Section<br/>19-22 November, 2012<br/>London, UK<br/>www.wcst.org<br/>******************************************************<br/><br/><br/>The World Congress on Sustainable Technologies (WCST-2012) <br/>is a multidisciplinary congress, bridging efforts across the natural, <br/>social and engineering sciences, the environment and development <br/>of communities. The congress covers a wide spectrum of topics <br/>that relate to sustainability, which includes technical and non-technical <br/>research areas. It also encourages sharing new knowledge in the field <br/>of sustainable technologies and the environmental impacts.<br/><br/>The mission of WCST-2012 is to provide the opportunities for <br/>collaboration and reflection that have the potential to greatly enhance <br/>the infrastructure and capacity for conducting and applying art, <br/>science and technology for sustainability. The WCST bridges <br/>the gap between academia and industry by creating awareness of <br/>current development in sustainable technologies.<br/><br/>The topics in WCST-2012 include but are not confined to the <br/>following areas: <br/><br/>Sustainable Energy Technologies: <br/>* Bio-energy and Geo-energy <br/>* Energy <br/>* Energy in Transportation Systems <br/>* Energy Efficiency in Utilization <br/>* Environmental Issues <br/>* Energy Harvesting <br/>* Energy Storage Systems <br/>* Energy Storage Systems <br/>* Energy Market, Management and Economics <br/>* Energy Resources for Portable Electronics <br/>* Energy Efficiency in Utilization <br/>* Geothermal energy <br/>* Intelligent Energy, Power Transmission Distribution, Interconnects and Protection <br/>* Materials for Energy Resources <br/>* Nanotechnology in Energy <br/>* New Enabling Technologies <br/>* New Materials for Energy Resources and RF and Magnetic Field Energy Devices <br/>* Off-grid Isolated Energy Systems <br/>* Policy Issues on Renewable Energy <br/>* Power Electronics and Energy Conversion <br/>* Renewable Energy and Biofuels <br/><br/>Renewable Energy Managements, Economics and Environmental Impact: <br/>* Climate Change <br/>* Energy from waste <br/>* Environmental assessments <br/>* Environmental issues <br/>* Environmental policies and planning <br/>* Hazardous Chemical <br/>* Innovative use of Renewable Raw Materials <br/>* Offshore pollution and oil spills <br/>* Pollution prevention <br/>* Sustainable waste management technologies <br/>* Sustainability impact assessments and tools <br/><br/>Education: <br/>* Environmental Education <br/>* Education and Training <br/>* E-Society (e-Learning, e-Health, e-Medicine, e-Governance, e-Business, e-Art, e-Science) <br/><br/>Green Computing: <br/>* Advanced IT energy-aware technologies <br/>* Green Computing Geo-energy <br/>* E-Cycling <br/>* E-Inclusion <br/>* Electronic waste <br/>* Energy Efficient Ethernet <br/>* IT energy management <br/>* Power-aware software <br/>* Power-efficient architectures and chip designs <br/>* Component level power management, e.g., memory, disk. <br/>* Power aware networking <br/>* Smart Grids applications <br/>* Technology as Green Enablers (Grid, Cloud, Data Centers, Virtualization) <br/><br/>Sustainable Building Design: <br/>* Building Design and System <br/>* Creative Industries <br/>* Industrial Developments <br/>* Low and zero energy houses and buildings <br/>* New Insulation materials and techniques <br/>* New building materials and recycling <br/>* Photovoltaics and Solar Thermal <br/><br/>Sustainability and Policy: <br/>* Sustainable Applications <br/>* Sustainable Development Policy <br/>* Sustainable Innovations <br/>* Sustainable Technology Programme <br/><br/>Waste Management: <br/>* Agricultural wastes <br/>* Industrial waste management <br/>* Medical wastes <br/>* Mining and mineral wastes <br/>* Nuclear and hazardous waste <br/>* Waste from electronic and electrical equipment (WEEE) <br/>* Waste water treatment  <br/><br/>All the accepted papers will appear in the proceedings and <br/>modified version of selected papers will be published in special <br/>issues peer reviewed journals.<br/><br/>Paper Submission:<br/>To submit a paper, please visit http://www.wcst.org/Paper%20Submission.html<br/><br/>Important Dates:<br/><br/>Full Paper Submission Date:  August 31, 2012<br/>Extended Abstract (Work in Progress) Submission Date: August 20, 2012<br/>Proposal for Workshops and Tutorials: August 31, 2012<br/>Notification of Workshop and Tutorial Acceptance: September 10, 2012<br/>Proposal for Industrial Presentation / Special Track: March 01, 2012 August 31, 2012<br/>Notification of Extended Abstract Acceptance/Rejection: September 10, 2012<br/>Notification of Industrial Presentation / Special Track Acceptance: September 10, 2012<br/>Notification of Paper Acceptance/Rejection: September 15, 2012<br/>Camera Ready Extended Abstract Due: October 10, 2012 <br/>Camera Ready Paper Due: October 15, 2012<br/>Early Registration Deadline: August 01, 2012 - September 20, 2012<br/>Late Registration Deadline: September 20, 2012 - October 01, 2012<br/>Conference Dates: November 19-22, 2012 <br/> <br/><br/>For further details, please visit www.wcst.org<br/><br/></p>
