SCOPE AND OVERVIEW 
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SustainIT 2012 invites Work in Progress (WIP) papers showing innovative and original research in the areas of Sustainable Internet and ICT for Sustainability. Submissions from both industry and academia are strongly encouraged. WIP papers are expected to report on early and emerging results and bring about novel research questions, approaches, and directions. The specific aim of the WiP session is to provide a forum for timely presentation, discussion and feedback for novel, controversial, and thought provoking ideas. All selected papers will be presented as posters in a special conference session. In addition, all selected papers will be included in the conference proceedings.

For this special session we solicit original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of energy-awareness for Internet-based systems, and the design of ICT solutions for eco-sustainability. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Green Internet
- Power-aware Internet applications
- Energy-efficient network architecture and protocols 
- Green wireless networking
- Energy-efficient network technologies
- Cross-layer optimization for green networking
- Standards and metrics for green communications
- Energy-efficient management of network resources 
- Energy efficiency in data centres 
- Energy efficiency, Quality of Service, and reliability
- Algorithms for reduced power, energy and heat
- Data processing in smart energy systems
- ICT for energy efficiency in smart homes and buildings
- ICT for sustainable smart cities 
- ICT for sustainable transports and logistics
- ICT for green mobility
- ICT for energy efficiency in industrial environments
- ICT for smart grids
- Security and privacy in ICT for energy systems
- Sustainability achievements due to ICT-based optimization 
- Energy consumption measurements, models, and monitoring tools
- Measurement and evaluation of the Internet sustainability
- Test-bed and prototype implementations
