[Scope and Topics]
This workshop is to collect results and visions of standards, regulations and
public policies on global green revolutions relevant to information and
communication technologies (ICT) and other relevant issues, including both the
impact of ICT on the environments and the impact of environments on ICT. This
workshop will exchange views on issues of strategic importance such as
environmental protections, resource efficiency, climate changes, and energy
efficiency, and how ICT can help boost the transition to an
environmentally-friendly economy. Environmental sustainability for the ICT
sector has impacted and will continue impacting the industry’s reaction to the
outcomes of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20).
The current world would not survive without information and communication
technologies, whose widespread use has changed people’s lives dramatically and
boosted economic growth. However, the very success of these technologies has
made them a growing contributor to various environmental impacts. At the same
time, they may offer ways of reducing negative environmental impacts in other
industries such as water resource management, air pollution reduction, energy
generation, building and transport. This workshop may also provide guidance on
green ICT procurement, detailing green principles to be applied when procuring
goods, products and services. Another issue considered in this workshop is
greening ICT supply chains relating to conflict minerals, and the way the ICT
industry is managing its supply chain in that context. This workshop may also
investigate the overall sustainability of lifestyle choices, a number of
companies may have responded by providing consumers with information on the
eco-impact of the products they buy and use.
The IEEE International Workshop on Green Standardizations for ICT and relevant
Technologies (GSICT) would be initiated as a forum for scientists, engineers,
standardization professionals, policy makers, researchers, practitioners, and
students to present their latest research results, visions, ideas,
developments, surveys in green standardizations in ICT and relevant
technologies that can support existing and future developments and efforts and
promote global green revolutions.
Researchers and professionals are encouraged to submit original relevant
contributions in all major areas, which include, but not limited to:– Green
standardizations for systems, devices, interfaces, adapters – Visions, ideas,
roadmaps, and solutions on green standardizations for ICT and relevant
technologies – Test suites for assessment of green standardizations and
solutions – Green battery solutions – Green standardizations for computing and
information technologies – Green standardizations for electronics – Green
standardizations for Internet of things – Green standardizations for smart
grids – Green standardizations for communications and networking – Procedure
for recycling materials in information and communication technology goods –
Measurement methods to characterize rare metals in information and
communication technology goods – Best practices for green data centers and
cloud computing – Energy and resource efficiency metrics and measurement –
Standardizations for green offices and buildings – Overview and general
principles of methodologies for assessing the environmental impact of
information and communication technologies – Methodology for environmental life
cycle assessment – Methodology for energy consumption and greenhouse gas
emissions impact assessment of information and communication technologies in
organizations – Framework for information and communication technologies and
adaptation to the effects of climate change – Life-cycle management of ICT
goods – Surveys on any topics of green standardizations
[Submission Procedure]
Submitted papers must represent original material which is not currently under
review in any other conference or journal and has not been previously
published. Paper length should not exceed five-page standard IEEE conference
two-column format (including all text, figures, and references). Please see the
Author Information page for submission guidelines in the IEEE GLOBECOM 2015 web
sitehttp://globecom2015.ieee-globecom.org/. All submitted papers will go
through a peer review process. All accepted and presented papers will be
included in the IEEE GLOBECOM 2015 proceedings and IEEE digital library. IEEE
reserves the right to exclude an accepted and registered but not presented
paper from the IEEE digital library.
