The congress covers a wide spectrum of topics<br/><br/>that relate to sustainability, which includes technical and non-technical<br/><br/>research areas. It also encourages sharing new knowledge in the field<br/><br/>of sustainable technologies and the environmental impacts.<br/><br/>The mission of WCST-2012 is to provide the opportunities for<br/><br/>collaboration and reflection that have the potential to greatly enhance<br/><br/>the infrastructure and capacity for conducting and applying art,<br/><br/>science and technology for sustainability. The WCST bridges<br/><br/>the gap between academia and industry by creating awareness of<br/><br/>current development in sustainable technologies.<br/><br/><br/><br/>The topics in WCST-2012 include but are not confined to the<br/><br/>following areas:<br/><br/><br/><br/>Sustainable Energy Technologies:<br/><br/>* Bio-energy and Geo-energy<br/><br/>* Energy<br/><br/>* Energy in Transportation Systems<br/><br/>* Energy Efficiency in Utilization<br/><br/>* Environmental Issues<br/><br/>* Energy Harvesting<br/><br/>* Energy Storage Systems<br/><br/>* Energy Storage Systems<br/><br/>* Energy Market, Management and Economics<br/><br/>* Energy Resources for Portable Electronics<br/><br/>* Energy Efficiency in Utilization<br/><br/>* Geothermal energy<br/><br/>* Intelligent Energy, Power Transmission Distribution, Interconnects and<br/>Protection<br/><br/>* Materials for Energy Resources<br/><br/>* Nanotechnology in Energy<br/><br/>* New Enabling Technologies<br/><br/>* New Materials for Energy Resources and RF and Magnetic Field Energy Devices<br/><br/>* Off-grid Isolated Energy Systems<br/><br/>* Policy Issues on Renewable Energy<br/><br/>* Power Electronics and Energy Conversion<br/><br/>* Renewable Energy and Biofuels<br/><br/><br/><br/>Renewable Energy Managements, Economics and Environmental Impact:<br/><br/>* Climate Change<br/><br/>* Energy from waste<br/><br/>* Environmental assessments<br/><br/>* Environmental issues<br/><br/>* Environmental policies and planning<br/><br/>* Hazardous Chemical<br/><br/>* Innovative use of Renewable Raw Materials<br/><br/>* Offshore pollution and oil spills<br/><br/>* Pollution prevention<br/><br/>* Sustainable waste management technologies<br/><br/>* Sustainability impact assessments and tools<br/><br/><br/><br/>Education:<br/><br/>* Environmental Education<br/><br/>* Education and Training<br/><br/>* E-Society (e-Learning, e-Health, e-Medicine, e-Governance, e-Business, e-Art,<br/>e-Science)<br/><br/><br/><br/>Green Computing:<br/><br/>* Advanced IT energy-aware technologies<br/><br/>* Green Computing Geo-energy<br/><br/>* E-Cycling<br/><br/>* E-Inclusion<br/><br/>* Electronic waste<br/><br/>* Energy Efficient Ethernet<br/><br/>* IT energy management<br/><br/>* Power-aware software<br/><br/>* Power-efficient architectures and chip designs<br/><br/>* Component level power management, e.g., memory, disk.<br/><br/>* Power aware networking<br/><br/>* Smart Grids applications<br/><br/>* Technology as Green Enablers (Grid, Cloud, Data Centers, Virtualization)<br/><br/><br/><br/>Sustainable Building Design:<br/><br/>* Building Design and System<br/><br/>* Creative Industries<br/><br/>* Industrial Developments<br/><br/>* Low and zero energy houses and buildings<br/><br/>* New Insulation materials and techniques<br/><br/>* New building materials and recycling<br/><br/>* Photovoltaics and Solar Thermal<br/><br/><br/><br/>Sustainability and Policy:<br/><br/>* Sustainable Applications<br/><br/>* Sustainable Development Policy<br/><br/>* Sustainable Innovations<br/><br/>* Sustainable Technology Programme<br/><br/><br/><br/>Waste Management:<br/><br/>* Agricultural wastes<br/><br/>* Industrial waste management<br/><br/>* Medical wastes<br/><br/>* Mining and mineral wastes<br/><br/>* Nuclear and hazardous waste<br/><br/>* Waste from electronic and electrical equipment (WEEE)<br/><br/>* Waste water treatment<br/><br/><br/><br/>All the accepted papers will appear in the proceedings and<br/><br/>modified version of selected papers will be published in special<br/><br/>issues peer reviewed journals.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Paper Submission:<br/><br/>To submit a paper, please visit http://www.wcst.org/Paper%20Submission.html<br/><br/><br/><br/>Important Dates:<br/><br/>Full Paper Submission Date:  September 20, 2012<br/><br/>Extended Abstract (Work in Progress) Submission Date: September 30, 2012<br/><br/>Proposal for Workshops and Tutorials: August 31, 2012<br/><br/>Notification of Workshop and Tutorial Acceptance: September 10, 2012<br/><br/>Proposal for Industrial Presentation / Special Track: August 31, 2012<br/><br/>Notification of Extended Abstract Acceptance/Rejection: October 10, 2012<br/><br/>Notification of Industrial Presentation / Special Track Acceptance: September<br/>10, 2012<br/><br/>Notification of Paper Acceptance/Rejection: October 01, 2012<br/><br/>Camera Ready Extended Abstract Due: October 19, 2012<br/><br/>Camera Ready Paper Due: October 19, 2012<br/><br/>Early Registration Deadline: August 01, 2012 - October 15, 2012<br/><br/>Late Registration Deadline: October 16, 2012 - November 01, 2012<br/><br/>Conference Dates: November 19-22, 2012<br/><br/><br/><br/>For further details, please visit www.wcst.org</p>
