Communications, Computing, and Systems” 
 
Submission link: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ieee-sj
Submission deadline: October
30, 2014
CFP link: http://www.ieeesystemsjournal.org/call-for-papers/special-issue-gccs/
 
Scope:
 
In this special issue, we solicit not only original
research results but also survey and/or tutorial articles that discuss energy
efficiency, resource efficiency, sustainability, environmental protection for
ICT, relevant electricity distribution systems or using ICT to achieve green
goals, social awareness of the importance of sustainable and green
communications and computing, understanding, concepts, principles, mechanisms,
design, algorithms, analyses, and research challenges of relevant topics. The
authors may present and discuss a number of state-of-art technical approaches,
bring broad and in-depth vision of the emerging areas in both industrial and
academic perspectives. The submissions may address the relevant research
trends, practical needs, open problems and possible solutions in green
communications, computing and systems. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
-    Fundamentals
in green communications, computing, and systems
-    Relevant
algorithms, protocols, approaches, and strategies
-    Characterization,
metrics, and performance of green communications, computing, and systems
