Call for Papers: Special Track Sustainable IT
Theme
This track aims for the development of Sustainable IT solutions. Sustainable IT covers three major directions: Green IT (energy efficient hardware, product longivity, also virtualization and algorithmic efficiency), green by IT (intelligent control and optimization in order to safe energy in various domains) and Green Programming, which emphasizes the software aspects more. Green programming includes e.g. longevity, simplicity, quality, efficiency, accessibility, refinability, enhancability, adaptivity, scalability, robustness, and stability of IT solutions.
In specific the track covers service orientation in IT and solutions related to topics as improving energy efficiency, energy informatics and IT components to control renewable energies, technologies which use existing resources more efficiently like sustainable grid computing, alternative control strategies like distributed control for better efficiency, etc.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Green IT
- Green Programming
- Efficiency by Management and Control
- Theories, Models, and Foundations of Sustainable IT
- Experiences and Case Studies
- Service-oriented Computing
- Service-oriented Architecture
- Web Services
- Cloud and Grid Computing
- Efficiency by Artificial Intelligence
- Nature-inspired Approaches
- Prediction and Proactivity
- Sustainable Software Engineering
- Software Quality
Publication
Proceedings will be published by CPS (Conference Publishing Services) and indexed in major databases. Electronic submission in PDF or MS Word format are required. Papers must represent high quality and previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal.
