GPC 2015 Call For Papers
========================

GPC 2015 aims to establish a high-standard world forum for researchers and
developers to share their excellent ideas and experiences in the areas of
green computing and communications in the broad context of pervasive
computing and cloud computing. GPC 2015 features a special publication
model: in addition to the publication in Springer LNCS proceedings (EI,
Scopus indexed), a number of top ranked papers will be directly published
in a Special Issue of IEEE Systems Journal (SCI indexed).

Important Dates
===============
Paper submission due: 15 November 2014
Notification of decisions: 31 January 2015
Camera ready and registration due: 28 February 2015
Conference/Workshop dates: 4-6 May 2015

Overview
========

Green computing in the context of cloud and pervasive computing is a
newly-emerging research field in computer science and engineering.
Pervasive computing and cloud computing are two promising paradigms in
human's daily life. With the exponential growth in the deployments of
techniques in pervasive computing and cloud computing, both of them have to
face the critical issues on energy consumption, for example, controlling
the energy consumed by the large-scale cloud datacenters, and prolonging
the battery life of mobile devices in pervasive computing and Internet of
Things (IoT). Therefore, new architectures, systems and related techniques,
such as mobile cloud computing (MCC), software-defined networking (SDN) and
hybrid cloud services, are being developed to make the computing in cloud
datacenters and in pervasive wireless devices more productive and energy
efficient, for shaping a "Green" world in the future.

GPC 2015 is the next event in a series of highly successful events focusing
on pervasive and environmentally sustainable computing. In the last nine
years, the GPC conference has been successfully held and organised all over
the world: Taichung, Taiwan (2006), Paris, France (2007), Kunming, China
(2008), Geneva, Switzerland (2009), Hualien, Taiwan (2010), Oulu, Finland
(2011), Hong Kong (2012), Seoul, Korea (2013), and Wuhan, China (2014).

Topics
======

We invite submissions on a wide range of green, pervasive and cloud
computing topics, including, but not limited to:

* Energy-efficient computing, communication and virtualisation
architectures and protocols
* Trade-offs between performance, energy and other resources in cloud
datacenters and pervasive computing
* Energy-aware mobile cloud systems and large-scale applications
* Energy management in multi-core systems, parallel and distributed
systems, machine to machine communications, social networks and services
* Energy-aware control in the Internet of Things, such as buildings and
electric vehicle systems
* Monitoring, sensing, control and management of energy-aware systems
* Integration, scheduling and management of renewable energy sources
* Modeling and control of variability in demand and supply of green energy
sources
* Instrumentation and measurement studies on energy-efficient systems
* Economy and business models in cloud computing and pervasive computing
* Incentives and innovative pricing for the management of cloud resources
* Service Level Agreements (SLAs) guarantee for customers in cloud computing
* Data analytics for energy-efficient systems
* Innovative technologies for robustness and reliability of energy-aware
systems
* Security and privacy in pervasive and cloud computing

Submission
==========

Authors are invited to submit original research contributions by following
the detailed instructions given in the "Author Instructions" section at
IEEE Systems Journal website. In the cover letter, authors should
explicitly state that the paper is submitted to the "Special Issue on Green
Pervasive and Ubiquitous Systems". Please follow the GPC 2015 submission
deadlines.

Note: all submissions to GPC 2015 shall go through the review system of
IEEE Systems Journal. The review process will take place in the specified
time frame. A number of top-ranked papers will be selected to publish in
the journal special issue, while other accepted papers will be published in
LNCS proceedings (which shall then follow the LNCS paper format with a page
limit of 12~14 pages). Questions about the paper submission may be directed
to the GPC 2015 TPC Chairs:

* Hai Jiang, Arkansas State University, USA, hjiang at astate.edu
* Ruppa K. Thulasiram, University of Manitoba, Canada, tulsi at cs.umanitoba.ca
* Yu Wang, Deakin University, Australia, y.wang at deakin.edu.au
