-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: E2Nets'14 - Energy Efficiency in Wireless Networks & Wireless Networks for Energy Efficiency Datum: Wed, 6 Nov 2013 08:23:51 +0100 Von: Martin Jacobsson <jacobsson.martin(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Martin Jacobsson <jacobsson.martin(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS *********************************************************************** The 5th Workshop on Energy Efficiency in Wireless Networks & Wireless Networks for Energy Efficiency (E2Nets'14) In conjunction with IEEE Intl. Conference on Communications (ICC'14) Sydney, Australia, June 14, 2014. http://e2nets.org/ *********************************************************************** Technical sponsorship by IEEE TSCGCC and IEEE TCCN and by iCore and ProFun projects Important Dates *************** Paper Submission Deadline: December 15, 2013 Notification of Acceptance: February 20, 2014 Camera-Ready Submission: March 15, 2014 Scope ***** With ICT technologies, such as wireless networking, the Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), Machine-to-Machine Communications (M2M), and cognitive networking, we have the opportunity to detect, prevent, and automate solutions for energy efficiency as well as creating a more sustainable society. However, for this to be a viable option, also the ICT technologies must be energy efficient. Instead of looking at these two problems in silo, we believe in a venue for researchers and practitioners in both these fields to come together and interact. This workshop aims to build this cooperation. Energy Efficiency in Wireless Networks: According to the GESI study, the ICT sector contributes around 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions. To increase the competitiveness, energy efficiency (E2) must also be a design criterion of the network and service architectures. Flexible networks that adapt their capacity to the requirements and context can lead to significant energy savings. Novel networking paradigms need to be introduced to assure that all components are used with maximum utilization. Green network architectures will be the cross- layer, cognitive and cooperative aggregation of techniques and mechanisms to provide a communication infrastructure where the energy consumption is minimized while guaranteeing the quality/grade of service required by the applications. Along with energy efficiency, spectrum utilization is to be optimized and radiation is to be minimized. Topics ****** In this workshop, the following topics of energy efficiency in wireless networks are considered: * Energy efficient Internet of Things (IoT) and smart cities * Energy efficient wireless sensor networks and their applications * Energy efficient ad hoc network services * Energy efficient algorithms/protocols and their implementations * Energy efficient service discovery and service provisioning * Cognitive techniques to control networking energy efficiency * Optimization of energy efficient networking * Physical layer techniques, channel/network coding for energy efficiency * Methodologies/architectures for energy efficiency * Energy-efficiency measures * Energy-efficient flooding/multicasting * Collaborative/cooperative/cognitive networking protocols for energy efficiency * Algorithms for energy efficient scheduling and resource management * Energy harvesting techniques and strategies * Cooperative green communications for energy efficiency * User mobility modeling to predict and adapt to patterns to reduce energy expenditure * Hybrid fiber-wireless networks for energy-efficient delivery of wireless signals To address the other 98% of the global CHG emissions, this workshop considers the following topics on wireless networks for energy efficiency: * ICT for minimization of the energy consumption of other systems, including transportation, houses, buildings, industrial processes, and smart cities. * Energy efficient cloud computing, smart grids and emerging applications, * Sensor networks for energy efficiency in industrial/harsh environments * Internet of Things (IoT) for making energy efficient systems * Vehicular networks to reduce the CHG emissions * ICT systems for a sustainable and green world * New designs of equipments/architectures for energy efficiency * Energy efficient virtualization of resources * Energy efficient radio resource management * Energy efficient smart homes and energy monitoring * Applications in smart grids and smart and sustainable cities * Optimization of smart, homes, cities, societies, and networks Tentative Committees ******************** General Chair * Raouf Boutaba, University of Waterloo, Canada General Co-Chairs * R.

2nd Call For Paper: e-Energy 2014. Deadline January 15th, 2014
by Jean-Marc PIERSON 04 Nov '13

04 Nov '13

Call for Papers: ACM e-Energy 2014 Cambridge, UK, June 11-13 2014 Computing and communication technologies impact energy systems in two distinct ways. The exponential growth in deployment of these technologies has made them large-scale energy consumers. Therefore, new architectures, technologies and systems are being developed and deployed to make computing and networked system more energy efficient. Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, these technologies are at the center of the on-going revolution in next-generation "smart" and sustainable energy systems. They measure, monitor and control energy systems such as the smart grid; inform and shape human demand; aid in the prediction, deployment, storage and control of energy resources; and determine how utilities, generators, regulators, and consumers measure, analyze, and collectively control system elements. The fifth International Conference on Future Energy Systems (ACM e-Energy), to be held in Cambridge UK in June 2014, aims to be the premier venue for researchers working in the broad areas of computing and communication for smart energy systems (including the smart grid), and in energy-efficient computing and communication systems. By bringing together researchers in a high-quality single-track conference with significant opportunities for individual and small-group interaction, it will serve as a major forum for presentations and discussions that will shape the future of this area. We solicit high-quality papers in the area of computing and communication for the Smart Grid and energy-efficient computing and communications. We welcome submissions describing theoretical advances as well as system design, implementation and experimentation. ACM e-Energy is committed to a fair, timely, and thorough review process providing authors of submitted papers with sound and detailed feedback. Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to the following: . Advances in monitoring and control of smart homes and buildings . Sensing, monitoring, control, and management of energy systems . Energy-efficient computing and communication, including energy- efficient data centers . The impact of storage integration on the smart grid . Electric Vehicle monitoring and control . Distribution and transmission network control techniques . Microgrid and distributed generation management and control . Modeling, control, and architectures for renewable energy generation resources . Smart grid communication architectures and protocols . Privacy and security of smart grid infrastructure . Innovative pricing and incentives for demand-side management . Novel technologies to enhance reliability and robustness of energy systems . HCI for energy monitoring, management, and awareness . User studies and behavioral change enabled by computing and communication technologies . Data analytics for the smart grid and energy-efficient systems . Modeling, management and control of variability and uncertainty in energy supply and demand Two type of contributions are solicited: . Full papers, up to 12 pages in ACM double-column format, should present original theoretical and/or experimental research in any of the areas listed above that has not been previously published, accepted for publication, or is not currently under review by another conference or journal. . Poster/demo descriptions, up to 2 pages in ACM double-column format showcasing works-in-progress; accepted posters/demos will be presented at the conference. Topics of interest are the same as research topics listed above. Preference will be given to posters/demos where the primary contribution is from one or more students.
