First International Conference on
ICT as Key Technology for the Fight against Global Warming
(ICT-GLOW’11)

In conjunction with DEXA 2011 (www.dexa.org)
Toulouse, France
August 29 - September 2, 2011
==========================================================

Reduction of CO2-emissions is a topic of outmost importance for the 
society. The ICT sector is a relevant contributor to CO2 emissions and 
global warming due to its tremendous presence in our everyday life but 
more importantly it is a key technology for the fight against Global 
Warming in all other sectors.

Therefore the issues to be addressed in this conference are twofold:
On the one hand, issues on the potential of ICT as enabler for the 
reduction of CO2-emissions pertinent to industry, regions, organizations 
and the society will be considered.
On the other hand, issues on the urgent need of hardware and software 
systems which are designed and operated in an energy-aware way and which 
steadily monitor and optimize their energy consumption will build 
another focus of the conference.

The First International Conference on ICT as Key Technology for the 
Fight against Global Warming (ICT-GLOW’11) aims at providing an 
interdisciplinary scientific forum for in-depth- discussions on the 
reduction of the carbon footprint in the different sectors including ICT 
systems itself.

Emphasis within the ICT-sector is laid on holistic and far-reaching 
approaches for green and eco-friendly ICT-systems.

The conference aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from 
multiple disciplines ranging from green maturity models in organizations 
to system level design and optimization

Authors are invited to electronically submit original research 
contributions or experience reports in English.

• The submitted manuscript should closely reflect the final paper as it 
will appear in the Proceedings.
• The submitted manuscript must be submitted in pdf in LNCS format 
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html)
• The length of submitted manuscripts should not exceed 15 pages.
• Any submission that significantly exceeds length limits or deviates 
from formatting requirements may be rejected without review.

For paper registration and electronic submission see http://www.dexa.org 
starting in January 2011.

Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, 
significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition.

Duplicate submissions are not allowed. Authors are expected to agree to 
the following terms: "I understand that the paper being submitted must 
not overlap substantially with any other paper that I am a co-author of 
and that is currently submitted elsewhere. Furthermore, previously

All accepted conference papers will be published in a volume of "Lecture 
Notes in Computer Science" (LNCS) by Springer Verlag.

DEXA reserves the right to accept papers only as short papers (up to 8 
pages). Short papers will tend to be descriptions of interesting, 
innovative ideas, which nevertheless require more work to mature. 
Authors of all accepted papers must sign a Springer copyright release form.
