First ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Green Networking:
Submission Deadline extended to March 26, 2010
http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2010/gncfp.php

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
