The two seemingly distinct topics of E2NETS are very important for overall
energy efficiency in the future. Instead of looking at them separately, it
is useful to arrange a venue for the researchers and practitioners in
these
two 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 can lead to
significant energy savings. Novel networking paradigms need to be
introduced to assure that all components are used with maximum utilization.
E2 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 grade of service required by the applications. Along with energy
efficiency, spectrum utilization is to be optimized and
radiation is to be
minimized.

In E2Nets, the following topics of energy efficiency in sensor, mesh, and
ad-hoc networks are considered:
* Physical layer techniques, channel or network coding for energy efficiency
* Methodologies and architectures for energy efficiency
* Energy-efficiency measures
* Energy-efficient flooding and multicast
* Energy-efficient device and service discovery
* Collaborative, cooperative, cognitive networking protocols for energy
efficiency
* Algorithms for scheduling and resource management
* Energy harvesting
* Cognitive networking for energy reduction in large scale environments
* Device level collaboration and cognition for energy efficiency
* User mobility modelling to predict and adapt to patterns
* Hybrid fibre-wireless networks for energy-efficient delivery of wireless
signals
* Energy efficiency in sensor networks, ad hoc networks, mesh networks and
vehicular networks.

To address the other 98% of the global CHG emissions, wireless networks can
be used to reduce the energy consumption of industrial, home, office
environments, applications. For example, along with the research in
low-carbon road transportation technologies, wireless networks can be
employed to analyze the traffic jams and help navigators to find a suitable
route leading energy savings. To this extent, in this workshop the topics
of wireless networks for energy efficiency consist of:

* ICT for minimization of the energy consumption of other systems such as
transportation, houses, offices and industrial buildings.
* Energy efficient cloud computing, smart grids and emerging applications,
* Sensor networks for energy efficiency in industrial/harsh environments
* Vehicular networks to reduce the CHG emissions
* Energy efficient virtualization of resources
* ICT for energy-efficient
data centers
