CALL FOR PAPERS
Today, energy efficiency is widely regarded as one of the biggest technological and societal challenges
for developing a more sustainable world. The Internet - and more generally information and
communication technologies (ICT) – can play an essential role to achieve a more sustainable energy use
and to reduce our carbon footprint. On the one hand, Internet is a significant energy consumer, and it is
necessary to redesign current Internet technologies, as well as network architectures, devices and
components, services and protocols to improve energy efficiency. On the other hand, ICT is a key
enabling technology to foster a more intelligent use of energy in areas such as buildings, transport and
electric grids.
Both aspects of the problem raise interesting scientific challenges, and require a comprehensive effort and
inter-disciplinary research at all levels of abstraction. The goal of this conference is to bring together
people from different research areas, and provide a forum to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share
experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and
academia.
Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of energy-awareness for Internet-based
systems, and the design of ICT solutions for eco-sustainability are solicited.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
•  Green Internet
•  Power-aware Internet applications
•  Energy-efficient network architectures and protocols
•  Green wireless networking
•  Energy-efficient network technologies
•  Low power and energy efficient components and devices
•  Cross-layer optimization for green networking
•  Standards and metrics for green communications
•  Energy-efficient management and control of network resources
•  Energy efficiency in data centres
•  Energy efficiency, quality of service, and reliability
•  Algorithms for reduced power, energy and heat
•  Data processing in smart energy systems
•  ICT for energy efficiency in smart homes and buildings
•  ICT for sustainable smart cities
•  ICT for sustainable transports and logistics
•  ICT for green mobility
•  ICT for energy efficiency in industrial environments
•  ICT for smart grids
•  Security and privacy in ICT for energy systems
•  Sustainability achievements due to ICT-based optimization
•  Energy consumption measurements, models, and monitoring tools
•  Measurement and evaluation of the Internet sustainability
•  Test-bed and prototype implementations.
Editorial Follow-up
The best paper presented at the conference will receive the Best Paper Award. Papers of particular merit
will be considered for a SPECIAL SECTION/ISSUE in the Elsevier Journal of COMPUTER
COMMUNICATIONS and the Elsevier Journal of PERVASIVE AND MOBILE COMPUTING (PMC).
Paper Submission
All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another
workshop, conference, or journal. Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format through EDAS.
Detailed instructions for manuscript preparation and submission are available on the conference website
(http://www.dicgim.unipa.it/networks/sustainit2013/submission.html).
