CALL FOR PAPERS
 
[Scope]
 
Global warming and climate change have been a growing worldwide
 concern. Six sources, i.e., transportation, power, buildings,
 industry, agriculture and forestry, and land use, have been identified
 as major contributors to the rise of global carbon dioxide (CO2). The
 mobile industry is seen as a potential enabler to reduce greenhouse
 gases contributed by these six sources provided that appropriate
 measures are implemented. On the other hand, the mobile industry
 itself will also contribute to CO2 emission through network
 operations, mobile equipments, etc. To meet the requirement of
 low-carbon economy development, it is necessary to reduce the
 operation expenditure or energy consumption of mobile networks, while
 maintaining acceptable quality of service. This conference will
 explore and explain the scope and challenges of designing, building,
 and deploying GreeNets. In this regard, the conference aims to
 establish a forum to bring together research professionals from
 diverse fields including green mobile networks, system architectures,
 networking & communication protocols, applications, test-bed and
 prototype, traffic balance and energy-efficient cooperation
 transmission, system and application issues related to GreeNets.
 
[Topics]
 
The conference invites original technical papers that were not
 previously published and are not currently under review for
 publication elsewhere. Topics include, but are not limited to:
 
- Communications and Networking:
   Communication techniques and protocols for GreeNets
   Energy-efficient transmission technologies based on the cooperation
   communication
   Scalable and flexible energy efficiency mobile network
   architectures, deployments, and applications
 
- Energy-efficient network architecture & protocols:
   Scalability and mobility issues in energy efficiency cross-layer
   design
   MAC Protocols and QoS Designing for mobile networks
 
- Systems and Technology:
   Transactions and workflows in green mobile networks
   Adaptability and stability of green mobile networks
   Mobile and multimedia supported green mobile networks
   Experimental and test bed studies for energy efficiency mobile
   networks, simulation tools
 
- Energy-efficient management:
   Energy-efficient traffic balance, cooperation and management
   Distributed energy efficiency resource management techniques
   Protocols for cooperative management and control
 
[Publications]
 
Accepted papers will be published in Springer's LNICST series and will
 appear in the SpringerLink, one of the largest digital libraries
 online that covers a variety of scientific disciplines, as well as in
 the ICST's own EU Digital Library (EUDL).
 
LNICST volumes are submitted for inclusion to leading indexing
 services, including DBLP, Google Scholar, ACM Digital Library, ISI
 Proceedings, EI Engineering Index, CrossRef, Scopus.
