Special Session on ENERGY-AWARE METHODOLOGIES AND TECHNIQUES FOR GREEN ICT INFRASTRUCTURES (EMTGI 2022)
at World Congress on Information and Communication Technologies (WICT 2022)

on World Wide Web, December 15-17, 2022, http://mirlabs.org/wict22/

Objectives and Scope

Since the late 1990s (Kyoto Protocol, December 1997), the increasing need for containing and reducing energy consumption has caught the interest of both the industrial and academic communities due to the global warming and climate change, which are causing the increase of global temperature and the rise of sea levels. In this context, a significant role of the scholars and the practitioners is to design new techniques and methodologies that may inspire and support the policies and the strategies that countries and firms will put into action.

That said, this Special Session aims to be a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in addressing issues and challenges related to optimizing computing and networking system power consumption, energy-efficient systems, and energy-related security issues. A particular focus is given to ICT infrastructures. In fact, in order to implement energy-aware techniques and methodologies, it is of paramount importance that the ICT infrastructures, such as Data Centers, Networks, Software architectures, will be redesigned in a “green” perspective. Another focus of this Special Session is the study of emerging threats in Cybersecurity related to energy consumption. Papers focused on Machine learning and Artificial intelligence techniques related to energy topics will also welcome.
