GreenCom 2024 : The 20th IEEE International Conference on Green Computing and Communications

Computer networks, communication systems, and other IT infrastructures have a growing environmental footprint due to the significant amounts of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission. To address such problems and create a sustainable environment, new energy models, algorithms, methodologies, platforms, tools and systems are required to support next-generation computing and communication infrastructures. Thus, green computing and communications solutions should be designed to better integrate renewable energy sources, to improve energy efficiency, and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and harmful materials.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Track 1: Green Computing and Communication Technologies
• Green infrastructure sustainable design and technologies
• Energy- and power-constrained devices and gateways
• Ultra-low power systems architectures
• Low-power, distributed data processing on sensors
• Energy-efficient M2M wired and wireless communications and networking
• Optimization and/or analysis in green computing and communications (including core   network optimization)
• Green big data, cloud, and data center architecture
• Green technologies for 5G (SDN, IoT, and crowdsourcing, etc.)
• Energy harvesting communications and networks

Track 2: Smart Energy and Smart Grid
• Smart metering infrastructure and technologies
• Large-scale monitoring, control and demand response
• Advanced data fusion, mining and modeling in smart grid
• Management and control of distributed energy generation, storage and consumption
• Advanced smart grid applications: grid-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-grid, Micro-grid

Track 3: Green Society Applications
• Smart sensing systems
• Smart city
• Green vehicle, green home, green buildings and green anything
• Green industrial automation and control
• Intelligent Transport Systems and control
• Energy efficiency in aerial/UAV communication networks
• Green social networks
• Applications of blockchain in energy management and trading


Paper Submission Guidelines

All papers must be submitted electronically and in PDF format through the EDAS system (https://edas.info/N32147). The material presented should be original and not published or under submission elsewhere. Authors should submit either full papers of up to 10 pages, or short papers of up to 4 pages, following strictly the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscript style, using two-column, single-space format, with 10-point font size. Figures and references must be included in the page limit. Oversized papers will be automatically rejected by the PC chairs. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register early to attend the conference, in order for the paper to appear in the conference proceedings. The conference proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society. Selected papers from the proceedings will be invited for publication in journal special issues.
