IEEE ICC-2010 Workshop on Energy Efficiency in Wireless Networks & Wireless Networks for Energy Efficiency http://www.e2nets.tudelft.nl

to be held in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC 2010) 23-27 May 2010 Cape Town, South Africa at Cape Town's International Conference Centre (CTICC).

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 two per cent of global greenhouse gas (CHG) 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. 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. Green networking is not only the evolution of legacy networking paradigms but also the revolution of the visionary hybrid networks which is the convergence of the heterogeneous wired, wireless and ad hoc networks. In this workshop, the following topics of energy efficiency in wireless networks are considered: * Physical layer techniques, channel/network coding for energy efficiency. * Methodologies /architectures for energy efficiency. * Energy-efficiency measures. * Energy-efficient flooding/multicast for service discovery. * Collaborative/cooperative/cognitive networking protocols for energy efficiency. * Algorithms for scheduling and resource management. * Energy harvesting. * Cooperative green communications for energy efficiency. * User mobility modeling to predict and adapt to patterns. * Hybrid fibre-wireless networks for energy-efficient delivery of wireless signals.

Wireless Networks for Energy Efficiency: To address the other 98 per cent 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 to 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. * New designs of equipments/architectures for energy efficiency. * Energy efficient virtualization of resources.

Accepted workshop papers will be available on the IEEE eXplore database and included in the CD proceedings of the IEEE ICC 2010. Paper submission via EDAS, http://www.edas.info.

What is different?

The format of the workshop consists of four sessions three of which will be dedicated to presentation sessions and posters. The remaining session will be slightly different from the usual chores such as panel or keynote. Here we have identified clearly two important groups, E2 in Wireless Networks and Wireless Networks for E2, which are interconnected and interrelated. Both have been currently looked into ýntensively, not only by researchers, but also by the industry. The recent trend is that the governments of various countries have started seriously encouraging ICT community participation in reducing the energy consumption, as well as energy wastage. Surely this has to be taken into account by the ICT community.

The pool of participants, including authors of papers, will be divided into the two groups, the E2 in Wireless Networks and Wireless Networks for E2. These two groups headed by senior academician/industrialist will hold separate discussions for 45 min. The mandate is to come up with a list of research ideas, as well as implementation strategies for the topics of their group. Then they will present their ideas and discuss for the next 45 minutes with all of the participants.

This strategy should help in identifying issues quickly in a larger perspective. It is expected to help academics, industry and policy makers to quickly crystallize thoughts and work towards the important challenges and optimize their resources for this important challenge for future generations to come. It is also expected that after the discussions the two groups bring forth a list of ideas for future project proposals. We will encourage the participants to team up and work together for their future proposals. The by-product of this exercise is that convergence of these two seemingly separate trends will start cooperation with each other.
