Aims and Scope:
====================================
During the past decade, research and the industrial community start to invest considerable efforts in improving the energy efficiency of communication networks and systems due to energetic, economic and environmental reasons. The energetic reasons are reflected in the number of studies according to which Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) infrastructure and computer systems consume significant amounts of world electricity consumption. The economic reasons are related to the expectations that power consumed by communication networks and systems will increase due to the necessity of satisfying constantly increasing demand for new applications, data volumes transfer and the number of user devices, which will additionally increase the energy bills of service providers. Finally, the environmental reasons are dedicated to the nonnegligible contribution of the overall communication networks and systems exploitation lifecycle to the global carbon footprint, which further contributes to global warming. All indicated reasons mandate the necessity for continuation in attempts which will ensure further improvements in the energy efficiency of communication networks and systems on all layers of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model.
Therefore, this Special Issue aims to serve as a platform for researchers and visionaries from academia, research labs and industry in presenting novelties related to energy efficiency improvements of communication networks and computing systems. Sharing ideas, views, results and experiences dedicated to improving the energy efficiency of communication networks and systems is what this Special Issue is intended to be about. Anything from theoretical and experimental achievements to innovative design and management approaches, prototyping efforts and case studies are in the focus of this Special Issue. This Special Issue aims to open new research ways toward more energy-efficient communication networks and computing systems. The Special Issue accepts original research and review papers dedicated to the topic of improving the energy efficiency of communication networks and systems.

The broad range of topics of interest to this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) for improving energy-efficiency of communication networks and systems
