The International Green Computing Conference technically co-sponsored by IEEE addresses key issues and topics related to energy efficiency in computing and promoting environmentally friendly computer technologies and systems. The conference aims to provide a forum to a wide audience for discussing, sharing and investigating the state-of-the-art for all aspects of green computing, which include energy-efficient use of computers, design of algorithms and systems for environmentally-friendly computer technologies, and wide range of related topics. The conference will publish papers pertaining to hardware and software systems, algorithms, applications as well as power, energy and temperature related research areas of current importance to researchers, engineers and practitioners. The conference will hold forums and workshops on hot topics related to how the carbon footprint of computing can be reduced and how computers can contribute to the environment and overall well being of the planet.

Topics of interest are:

* Power-aware software
* Code profiling and transformation for power management
* Power-aware middleware
* Power-efficient architectures and chip designs
* Resource management to optimize performance and power
* Runtime systems that assist in power saving
* Models for collective optimization of power and performance
* Monitoring tools for power and performance
* Algorithms for reduced power, energy and heat
* Power-aware applications
* Static and dynamic data allocation for distributed servers
* Efficient circuit design for energy harvesting
* Power efficient cluster and enterprise computing
* Power management at component level, including memory, disk.
