First ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Green Networking
New Delhi, India (August 30, 2010)
Understanding and reducing the energy consumption of computing and communication infrastructure in home, enterprise and data center environments is an area of increasing importance for both researchers and commercial entities. This is an interdisciplinary field by its very nature: advances in many areas such as computer architecture, operating systems and compilers are all needed to reduce the energy consumption. Many of the proposed ideas have a direct impact on how networks are designed and provisioned. The power consumption of network infrastructure has itself come under scrutiny. At the same time, we have begun to see networking technologies play a significant role in reducing energy consumption in other domains such as utility networks and transportation systems.The First Green Networking workshop at SIGCOMM will focus on networking issues involved in designing green infrastructures in both computing and non-computing domains. We welcome papers that utilize networking technologies and principles to other domains besides traditional networking areas such as transit, energy that influence our daily life.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Power measurements and data from empirical studies of computer and communication infrastructure
- Techniques for measuring or estimating power consumption of computer and communication infrastructure
- Techniques for reducing power consumption in data center, enterprise and home environments
- Power consumption of networking infrastructure
- Protocol and middleware considerations for reducing power consumption
- Hardware and architectural support for reducing power consumption
- Green network design for high density data centers and cloud computing
- Methods that focus on computing and communication systems as key components for reducing the power footprint in other environments such as smart grids and smart transportation systems
- Application of networking technologies and principles for greening services and utilities affecting our daily life
Submissions
All submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference, or journal. The workshop will accept papers describing completed work as well as work-in-progress, so long as the promise of the approach is demonstrated. Radical ideas, potentially of a controversial nature, are strongly encouraged. Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages in length and must be a pdf file. Reviews will be single-blind: authors name and affiliation should be included in the submission. Submissions must follow the other formatting guidelines here.Please follow this link to submit a paper.
