Although the topic has gained lots of<br>attention over the past years, some of the proposed solutions often seem<br>conservative and not easily applicable to large-scale systems. Their<br>impact at large-scale remains to be proved. Hence, this workshop aims to<br>provide a venue for discussion of ideas that can demonstrate "more than<br>small % solution" to energy efficiency and their applicability to "real<br>world". <br><br>After the success of ExtremGreen2013 workshop, the ExtremeGreen2014 workshop will focus on scientific and<br>industrial approaches and solutions that could have a large impact in<br>terms of energy savings and energy efficiency. Clean-slate approaches<br>and innovative solutions breaking conventional approaches are welcome.<br>The workshop also welcomes submissions of work-in-progress papers on<br>ideas that can have a large impact on improving the energy efficiency of<br>large-scale distributed systems. The papers must provide preliminary<br>results that demonstrate the originality and possible impact of the<br>proposed solutions. Submissions will be reviewed by an international<br>group of experts in distributed systems and energy efficiency.<br><br>Topics of interests :<br><br> Green clouds<br> Energy efficiency of data centers<br> Green Grids<br> Green networks for large scale distributed systems<br> Energy efficiency of storage solutions<br> Energy-aware design and programming<br> Energy-efficient hardware and software architectures<br> Sustainable solutions in large scale distributed systems<br> Energy-efficient resource management tools<br> Energy-efficient scalable approaches<br> Experimental results of Green solutions<br><br>Papers submission :<br><br>Submitted papers must be 8 pages long maximum. Authors must submit their articles through the submission system : <br><br><a href="https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=extremegreen2014">https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=extremegreen2014</a><br><br><br>Program Committee (TBC):<br><br> Cosimo Anglano, UniversitΓ‘ del Piemonte Orientale, Italy<br> Silvia Bianchi, IBM Research, Brazil<br> George Bosilca, Innovative Computing Laboratory - University of Tennessee, USA<br> Pascal Bouvry, University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg<br> Georges Da Costa, IRIT/Toulouse III, France<br> Bronis De Supinski, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, USA<br> Jaafar M.
