[Jinsong Wu]

Call for Papers: IEEE Green Communications and Computing Networks Series (IEEE Communications Magazine)
 
IEEE Series on Green Communications and Computing Networks is issued semi-annually as a recurring Series in IEEE Communications Magazine. The objective of this Series is to provide a premier forum across academia and industry to address all important issues relevant to green communications, computing, and systems. The Series will explore specific green themes in depth, highlighting recent research achievements in the field. Contributions provide insight into relevant theoretical and practical issues from different perspectives, address the environmental impact of the development of information and communication technologies (ICT) industries, discuss the importance and benefits of achieving green ICT, and introduce the efforts and challenges in green ICT. This Series welcomes submissions on various cross-disciplinary topics relevant to green ICT. Both original research and review papers are encouraged. Possible topics in this series include, but are not
 limited to:
Green concepts, principles, mechanisms, design, algorithms, analyses, and research challenges
Green characterization, metrics, performance, measurement, profiling, test-beds, and results
Context-based green awareness
Energy efficiency
Resource efficiency
Green wireless and/or wireline communications
Use of cognitive principles to achieve green objectives
