2015 IEEE Online Conference on Green Communications (OnlineGreenComm’15)

Communication technologies continue to be a central element of the
transition to smart, energy-efficient and sustainable lifestyles.
Communications systems used in these applications often require novel
solutions to not only meet unique sustainability requirements, but
also to address theenvironmental impact of the communication
technologies themselves. The energy requirements of communication
systems are a burgeoning problem that is already straining operating
budgets and attracting the attention of policy makers around the
world.

The 2015 IEEE Online Conference on Green Communications
(OnlineGreenComm’15) is in its fifth year of providing a forum for
research and technology development in the growing area of green
communications and networking. IEEE OnlineGreenComm’15 encompasses
both energy-efficient and sustainable communication technologies as
well as various green applications addressed through novel
communication solutions. Original, unpublished research paper
submissions are solicited from industrial, academic, and other
non-profit or public sector researchers reporting on substantial
results on green communications and networking. Submissions will be
peer-reviewed and accepted papers will be archived through IEEE
Xplore. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to those
listed below.

Green Solutions for Communication Technologies:
Energy-efficiencyand/or greenhouse gas impact in:
Networking and protocols
Communication management
Multi-service architectures for network convergence and consolidation
Network architectures
Wired, fiber and optical networks
Wireless and cellular networks
Data center networks
Content delivery networks
Cloud computing
Software-defined networks (SDN)
Secure networking
Vehicular communication networks
Sensor and ad-hoc networks
Body area networks & wearable devices networking
Measurement & profiling
Low-power data processing
Deep-space communications
Quantum communications

Green Society Solutions based on Communication Technologies:
Smart Cities
Smart Sensing
E-health
Energy-efficient buildings
Energy harvesting
Wireless information transfer
Industrial automation
Using big data towards a greener society
Machine-to-Machine communications (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT)
Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)
Sustainable communication platforms
Infrastructure for online education and remote teaching
Green crowdsourcing applications for mobile devices

Smart Grid Communications:
Advanced metering infrastructure and smart meter technologies
Wide-area monitoring and control
Demand-response management
Distributed generation and storage
Operations of renewable energy generation
Management & control of distributed energy storage
Grid-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-grid
Micro-grids

In addition, submissions about the relevant standardization efforts,
field trials, and testbeds related to the previous topics are
welcomed.

Technology research is expected to focus on high impact solutions
addressing energy, greenhouse gas emissions, or other sustainability
related problems. While submissions on energy efficiency improvements
are encouraged, reports on efficiency improvements on other metrics
must include a clearly articulated and substantial connection to
energy or sustainability.

IEEE OnlineGreenComm is itself an experiment in green communications,
implemented online through teleconferencing tools. Although online
only, IEEEOnlineGreenComm is still a full-fledged IEEE ComSoc
conference, adhering to the same high standards of IEEE ComSoc.

Streaming of conference sessions will be scheduled at different times
of day in order to adequately serve all continents

PLEASE NOTE: To be published in the IEEE OnlineGreenComm 2015
Conference Proceedings (both regular technical papers and poster
papers) and to be eligible for publication in the IEEE Xplore (only
for regular technical papers), an author of an accepted paper is
required to register for the conference at the full (IEEE member or
non-member) rate and the paper must be presented by an author of that
paper at the conference unless the TPC Chair grants permission for a
substitute presenter arranged in advance of the event and who is
qualified both to present and answer questions. Non-refundable
registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final IEEE
formatted, publication-ready version of the paper. For authors with
multiple accepted papers, one full registration is valid for up to 3
papers. Accepted and presented regular technical papers and poster
papers will be published in the IEEE OnlineGreenComm 2015 Conference
Proceedings, while only accepted and presented regular technical
papers will submitted to IEEE Xplore.
