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. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Energy-efficient home, access, core, and data center networks - Energy-efficient wireless access, home and sensor networks - Energy-efficient cellular networks - Energy-efficient content distribution - Power-aware algorithms, protocols, network equipment, and applications - Software-defined networks for energy efficiency - Energy Management as a part of Network Management - Performance models and metrics for analyzing performance-energy trade-offs - Trade-offs in embodied versus use phase energy consumption - Trade-offs in thin client, cloud computing, and network energy use - Regulation and standardisation * Guest Editors * Ken Christensen University of South Florida, Tampa, FL, USA Email: christen(a)csee.usf.edu Xavier Costa Pérez NEC R&D Laboratories Europe, Heidelberg, Germany Email: Xavier.costa(a)ieee.org Pablo Serrano University Carlos III de Madrid, Leganés, Spain Email: pablo(a)it.uc3m.es Jinsong Wu Bell Laboratories, China Email: wujs(a)ieee.org * Important Dates * - Paper Submission Due: February 28, 2014 - Notification: May 31, 2014 - Camera ready: June 30, 2014 - Publication Date: 4th Quarter of 2014 * Submission Requirements * Submitted articles must be clearly written in good English.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Call for Papers, Computer Communications Journal, Special Issue on Networking and Communications for Smart Cities Datum: Fri, 22 Nov 2013 21:37:13 +0100 Von: Fabrice Theoleyre <theoleyre(a)UNISTRA.FR> Antwort an: Fabrice Theoleyre <theoleyre(a)UNISTRA.FR> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Computer Communications Journal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Issue on Networking and Communications for Smart Cities ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Smart Cities are technology-intensive cities in which the importance and role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is expanding. ICT plays a key role toward the sustainable development of new urban environments. Buildings with smart sensors and control systems can measure their environment and control it in real time (e.g. HVAC). Smart metering allows a utility company to match its production to the demand, dynamically. An electricity provider can influence both production and demand through the use of smart grid technology. This special issue revolves on the following foundational question: what are the “unique” context characteristics, application and control needs, and traffic/user patterns in existing (and futuristic) smart city scenarios, which require a rethinking of networking and communication technologies and systems, as well as their relevant modeling and dimensioning methodologies? ---------------------------------------------- SCOPE ---------------------------------------------- The scope of this special issue is on purpose kept broad in terms of networking and communication technologies. Rather, perspective contributions are expected to sharply target aspects and requirements which clearly distinguish smart cities from general purpose networking and communication systems. We aim at assembling high quality papers which show how smart cities and sensor-generated traffic uniquely challenge current access and transport technologies and protocols, and bring about compelling solutions to such emerging issues, new modeling insights, new monitoring and control means, and so on.
