[Scope and Topics]
This workshop is to collect results and visions of standards,regulations,
policies, industry issues and efforts on global greenrevolutions relevant to
information and communication technologies(ICT) and other relevant issues,
including both the impact of ICT onthe environments and the impact of
environments on ICT. This workshopwill exchange views on issues of strategic
importance such asenvironmental protections, resource efficiency, climate
changes, andenergy efficiency, and how ICT can help boost the transition to
anenvironmentally-friendly economy. Environmental sustainability for theICT
sector has impacted and will continue impacting the industry’sreaction to the
outcomes of the United Nations Conference onSustainable Development (Rio+20).
The current world would not survivewithout information and communication
technologies, whose widespreaduse has changed people’s lives dramatically and
boosted economicgrowth. However, the very success of these technologies has
made thema growing contributor to various environmental impacts. At the
sametime, they may offer ways of reducing negative environmental impactsin
other industries such as water resource management, air pollutionreduction,
energy generation, building and transport. This workshopmay also provide
guidance on green ICT procurement, detailing greenprinciples to be applied when
procuring goods, products and services.Another issue considered in this
workshop is greening ICT supplychains relating to conflict minerals, and the
way the ICT industry ismanaging its supply chain in that context. This workshop
may alsoinvestigate the overall sustainability of lifestyle choices, a numberof
companies may have responded by providing consumers withinformation on the
eco-impact of the products they buy and use.
The IEEE International Workshop on Green Standardization and IndustryIssues for
ICT and Relevant Technologies (GSICT) would be initiated asa forum for
scientists, engineers, standardization professionals,policy makers,
researchers, practitioners, and students to presenttheir latest research
results, visions, ideas, developments, surveysin green standardization and
industry issues in ICT and relevanttechnologies that can support existing and
future developments andefforts and promote global green revolutions.
Researchers and professionals are encouraged to submit originalrelevant
contributions in all major areas, which include, but notlimited to:
– Green standardizations for systems, devices, interfaces, adapters– Green
algorithms, protocols, approaches, solutions for anyindustrial ICT standards
and relevant systems– Green issues, activities, efforts, approaches, and
applications in industries– Visions, ideas, roadmaps, and solutions on green
standardization andindustry issues for ICT and relevant technologies– Test
suites for assessment of green standardizations and solutions– Green battery
solutions– Green standardization and industry issues for computing
andinformation technologies– Green standardization and industry issues for
electronics– Green standardization and industry issues for Internet of things–
Green standardization and industry issues for smart grids– Green
