Scope *****

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 a 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.

Topics ******

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 * Collaborative/cooperative/cognitive networking protocols for energy efficiency * Algorithms for energy efficient scheduling and resource management * Energy harvesting * 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 * Energy efficient ad hoc network services * Energy efficient wireless sensor networks and their applications * Energy efficient Service discovery and Service Provisioning * Energy efficient algorithms and implementations in Internet of Things and Future Internet

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 * Vehicular networks to reduce the CHG emissions * New designs of equipments/architectures for energy efficiency * Energy efficient virtualization of resources * Energy efficient radio resource management * Energy efficient home automation and energy monitoring * Applications to Smart grids
