-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP IEEE INFOCOM 2011 Workshop on Green Communications and Networking Datum: Tue, 26 Oct 2010 22:48:47 -0400 Von: Richard Yu <Richard_Yu(a)Carleton.ca> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu IEEE INFOCOM 2011 Workshop on Green Communications and Networking April 10-15, 2011 Shanghai, China http://www.csit.carleton.ca/~fyu/GCN11/ Scope: As concerns about climate change, rising fossil fuel prices and energy security increase, companies and governments around the world are committing great efforts to develop new technologies for the green strategies addressing climate change globally and facilitating low greenhouse gas (GHG) development. Currently, the GHG emissions produced by the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) industry alone are said to be equivalent to the GHG emissions of the entire aviation industry. It is estimated that one small computer server generates as much GHG as a sport utility vehicle (SUV). Furthermore, with the increasing demand for higher data rates, the energy consumption for the ICT industry is increasing by 16-20% per year, and the energy costs for mobile network operators can already be as high as half of their annual operating budgets. Since the GHG footprint of the ICT sector is dominated by electricity consumption, an obvious way to reduce emissions is to focus on efficient energy consumption and use as much electricity from renewable sources as possible. In addition, the role of green communications and networking technologies includes not only the emission reduction and energy savings in products and services, but also enabling low GHG emissions in other industries, such as electric power. Indeed, networks are crucial technologies for a smart power grid, which monitors, protects and optimizes the operation of its interconnected elements from end to end, with two-way flow of electricity and information to create an automated and distributed energy delivery network. This Workshop on "Green Communications and Networking" provides a forum for discussions of all these most recent developments and brings together industry and academia, engineers and researchers. The Workshop is in conjunction with IEEE Infocom'2011 conference (http://www.ieee-infocom.org/) Topics: The workshop is organised along two tracks, which address all issues related to energy efficiency in networking, including, but not limited to, the following: Track 1 - Green Wired Communications and Networking + Energy consumption measurements, estimates, models, and monitoring tools + Protocols and techniques to reduce energy consumption in fixed networks and in data centres + Protocols and techniques for energy-efficient service provisioning and content distribution + Wired networks for smart grids + Energy Efficient Ethernet + Models of energy-efficient networks and energy-efficient network design + Energy-efficient networking experiments and trials + Test-bed and prototype implementations + Policies and incentives to stimulate energy efficiency in networking + Networking approaches for energy efficiency of applications Track 2 - Green Wireless Communications and Networking + Energy efficiency and GHG emission metrics and measurements in wireless communications and networks + Wireless networks for smart grids + Regulation and standardization + Energy efficient hardware, devices and designs + QoS provisioning and resource management in green wireless networks + MAC, routing and transport protocols for green wireless networks + Cross-layer optimization of green wireless networks + End-to-end modeling and performance of green wireless networks + Green 3G/4G/5G, wireless wide area infrastructures, short range networks, mesh topologies + Experimental test-beds and results Contribution format: The authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original, previously unpublished, complete research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and development. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of six (6) printed pages (10-point font) including figures. Submissions longer than 6 pages will not be considered.

Until now, the success of P2P paradigms has been mainly in traditional wired network environments. With the advance of modern wireless and mobile communications (e.g., WLAN, MANET, WiMAX, 3G, 3.5G, and emerging 4G), there is an increasing interest for mobile users with broadband access to participate in P2P services anywhere anytime through their mobile handheld devices. Wireless mobile networks have special characteristics, such as highly variable connectivity, disconnection, location-dependency, energy and resource sensitivity, communication asymmetry, high bandwidth expense, and so on. All these pose research challenges that do not exist in traditional network settings. New techniques are thus required in order to leverage mobile P2P computing for efficient and reliable applications and services. Mobile P2P is a cross-disciplinary research involving networking, information dissemination, databases, and security. The main goal of the workshop is to gather scientists from these areas together to foster collaboration and sparkle discussion on various aspects of mobile P2P, including but not limited to, mobile users' scenarios and usage cases, overlay design, development and deployment, mobile data dissemination, mobile database management, and location- based information services. The workshop also aims to discuss mobile P2P in various networking environments such as vehicular, cellular and/or large-scale heterogeneous networks. Workshop Goals ============== Mobile P2P is a cross cutting area as it crosses communications, networking, information dissemination, databases, and security. The main goal of the workshop is to gather scientists from these areas together to foster the collaboration among such interdisciplinary areas and sparkle discussion on open topics related to mobile P2P.

It is believed that holding it in conjunction with INFOCOM will provide the community with recent advances in IP video that will impact the media networks of the future. The workshop will address the Future Media Internet and IP-based TV, which will not only radically change the telecommunications and the entertainment industries, but they are also expected to stimulate and enhance creativity, professional productivity and community relations. In particular, the workshop intends to have ample time for discussion amongst participants on research topics of emerging trends in the area of seamless media delivery and how the networks, current and future, will support the converged multimedia. The workshop encourages submissions to attract attendance from both academia and industry. Thus, the workshop seeks innovative technical papers that consolidate and present the leading-edge research prototype development, deployment and performance studies in the following areas: - Content centric network architectures for scalable multimedia content delivery - Distributed caching in the network for multimedia content - Search and retrieval of multimedia objects over distributed networks - Scalable multimedia compression, transmission, concealment - Network coding and streaming - Encoding technologies for maintaining the integrity and optimise the quality of experience - Cross-layer dynamic adaptation and end-to-end QoS issues for heterogeneous networks - Reputation, trust and incentives in peer-to-peer streaming systems and sensor networks - Network design impacts of IP-based video convergence - Architectures for converged systems especially those targeting multi screens and combining mobility - Video convergence, Mobile TV, Mobile Social TV applications and interactivity - Video Content Distribution, Networks and P2P architectures for distributed services - User experience and user experience design - Innovative methods for evolving IP-based TV services (including algorithmic aspects of computer networking oriented to billing, pricing and advertising models, large-scale data management, etc.) Additionally, the workshop plans to bring a distinguished invited speaker to present views on the convergence of future media networks and IP-based TV especially in emerging markets. The objective will be discussing evidences of issues regarding novel technologies dealing with industry cases in the workshop areas of interest. WORKSHOP FORMAT FMN-IPTV is based on a half-day workshop format. Concretely, it will be one session for a keynote lecture and two sessions for technical papers. Papers are to be grouped in 2 themes: (i) Future Media Networks and (ii) IP-based TV. The keynote lecture should fit 1 hour segment, including time for interaction among keynote speaker and audience, and each theme should fit in 1½-hour segments respectively. Each paper will be presented for 15 minutes plus 5 minutes to receive live comments and questions from the audience.
