Fueled by the increasing popularity of the Internet and evermore
bandwidth-hungry services, networking technologies constitute one of the
most fast growing areas in the field of the IT industry. This fast growth
has led to a point where the energy expenditure of networking
infrastructure constitutes a significant portion of the total energy
expenditure and moreover, the trend is towards an additional increase.
Thus, the development of energy efficient networking technologies for the
various segments (backbone and
access parts) of today's Internet has
recently emerged as a significant research area. The primary focus of such
green technologies, is towards reduction of the energy footprint of the
networking infrastructure, thus enabling sustainable development, low
operational costs and environmental safety.

The objective of this special issue is to report state-of-the art results
in energy-efficient networking protocols by welcoming contributions
originating from both academic and industrial research. These should be
original contributions solicited in relevant areas of energy-efficient
networking protocols.

Topics (Areas of interest for this special issue include the following
topics):
-Algorithms for energy-efficient design and operation of optical backbone
networks
-Energy-efficient protocols for optical access networks
-Energy-efficient protocols in wireless networking
-Energy-efficient MAC
protocols
-Energy-Efficient Protocols for mobile networks,
-Energy-Efficient Protocols for sensor networks
-Energy-efficient protocols in machine to machine networks
-Energy-efficient protocols in RFID networks
-Energy-efficient routing protocols
-Energy-efficient transport protocols
-Adaptive energy-efficient protocols
-Performance evaluation studies of energy-efficient solutions
-Tools and models for energy-efficient network design
-Application and implementation issues
