GreenCom Call For Papers

The IEEE Online Conference on Green Communications (GreenCom) explores a new way of conducting scientific colloquia in an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly way. The conference will not only discuss latest research results in saving energy with "green" communications technology, but also be IEEE ComSoc's first "green" conference with very low CO2 emissions that is conducted on a single track entirely online without requiring participants to travel.

IEEE GreenCom will cover a wide range of green communications including energy efficiency of communications as well as communications technologies for other green solutions such as smart grids, green buildings, and green logistics. The conference solicits original, unpublished research papers on the subsequently listed topics of interest. Both academic and industry contributions that report substantial results in green communications with a significant potential for energy savings are welcome.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Green Wireless and Fixed Line Communications

• Energy-efficient protocols and extensions
• Energy-efficient technology for network equipment
• Energy-efficient communications management
• Energy-efficiency in specific networks
• Measurement & profiling of energy consumption

Communications Technologies for Green Solutions

• Transport and logistics
• Industrial processes
• Communications for energy efficient buildings
• Energy harvesting

Smart Grid Communications

• Communications networks for Smart Grids
• Demand-response
• Distributed generation and storage

Communications Society Forming

We need a few more Communications Society members to express interest (twelve total) to open a Communications Society Chapter in the Hampton Roads. If you are interested please contact Aftab Ahmad (
Aftab@ieee.org ) of NSU. This will be a great opportunity to focus on Communications related meetings and functions. Once we have identified enough interested parties, we will need you to sign a copy of the petition to create the chapter.
