-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Elsevier Computer Networks: SI on Green Communications (deadline: Feb. 28th) Datum: Thu, 10 Oct 2013 10:52:59 +0200 Von: Pablo Serrano <pablo(a)IT.UC3M.ES> Antwort an: Pablo Serrano <pablo(a)IT.UC3M.ES> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG * Call for Papers * ----------------------------------------------- Special Issue on Green Communications Elsevier Computer Networks ----------------------------------------------- * Deadline: February 28, 2014 * http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-networks/call-for-papers/special-… One of the most urgent challenges of the 21st century is to investigate new technologies that can enable a transition towards a more sustainable society with a reduced carbon footprint. It is well understood that ICT is one of the keys to a future low-carbon and sustainable society. Communications technologies will be critical to achieving large-scale energy savings in all domains including communications, manufacturing, transportation, buildings, and electricity generation and distribution. In this context, there is a critical need for new ways of reducing energy consumption of communication systems if the current trajectory of traffic growth and supporting anywhere/anytime/anything access is to continue unabated. Energy costs are significant in a broad range of communications networks ranging from data center networks (where network equipment consume about 15% of the overall energy used) to cellular networks (where energy use of base stations amounts to around 70% of the t! otal). The need for ‘greener’ communications technologies has been recognized by the research community as demonstrated by the significant research efforts in this area during the last years. However, many challenges still remain to be addressed. The special issue of Computer Networks on Green Communications will focus on recent research results in the area of green communications. We seek papers describing research results that show significant energy savings in communications systems. We also seek survey and tutorial papers in green communications.
